Description
Don Weller, Western Airlines Ski Poster, c. 1980s Original Travel Poster (Linen Backed)
Original Western Airlines ski travel poster by Don Weller, created in the 1980s, featuring a highly stylized downhill skier rendered in bold, graphic form. The composition uses sharp linework and saturated red, black, and yellow against a minimal ground, capturing speed and motion with a distinctly modern, almost pop-inflected visual language.
Commissioned during the final decade of Western Airlines prior to its 1987 merger with Delta, the poster reflects a period when airline advertising embraced strong graphic design to promote destination travel and lifestyle. Professionally archival-linen-backed and in very fine condition, this example presents exceptionally well and stands as a striking crossover between aviation and winter-sports imagery.
