Classic 1950s advertising poster promoting travel to Australia via BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation) and Qantas airlines.
Historical Context – Created around 1955 or 1956, the poster captures the “pin-up” aesthetic of the time to promote the sunny beaches and surf culture in Australia.
Illustrator – The work is often attributed to Robert Scanlan, having originally been commissioned by British European Airways (although the focus here is on the route operated by BOAC and Qantas).
Visual Elements – Features a blonde woman in retro style, wearing a red swimsuit and holding a yellow surfboard (historically described as a “bellyboard” or bodyboard), against a backdrop of sea and waves.
