This vintage original c.1960s Mid-Century Modern style silkscreen poster is one in a series created by the artist John Hardy (1923-2014) for Delta Air Lines in the 1960s.  This poster advertises Florida as a travel destination and features a pictorial map type outline illustration of the state decorated with tourists engaging in recreational activities including golf, scuba diving and sunbathing on the beach.  The names of several of Florida’s principal cities are shown on the map including Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater.

This vintage original silkscreen poster shows moderate handling wear and has a few small scuffs.  There is a small bit of contact surface loss of paper on the upper left and lower left corner tips where is looks like a piece of tape was pull off at one time.  Overall condition is very good for this vintage original.
