Original SAS Africa Zebras Poster – Otto Nielsen Scandinavian Airlines System Travel Poster, First Printing, Propeller Plane, Linen Backed
Original SAS Africa – Zebras vintage travel poster by renowned Danish designer Otto Nielsen for Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS). This is the rare first printing from the early Jet Age, featuring the original propeller aircraft in the sky before later printings introduced jet travel and a modified logo.
The dramatic artwork captures two zebras standing together beneath the deep evening skies of Africa, with a distant aircraft flying overhead and a glowing landscape behind them. Nielsen’s bold composition and rich colors perfectly reflect the romance and adventure of early international air travel and the allure of the African safari.
This example has been professionally conservation mounted on acid‑free linen, ensuring long-term preservation and making it ready to frame. The poster remains in very fine condition, with only the minimal edge wear consistent with standard excellent vintage poster grading.
