TRAVEL POSTER: CARIBBEAN BY CLIPPER: PAN AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS Pan American World Airways poster, "Caribbean by Clipper," is attributed to Jean Carlu and dated by the supplied notes to circa 1958 (the fine print appears to read "Copyright 1954," so the date should be verified). It shows a stylized giant woman in a wide-brimmed straw hat, green sunglasses, and a red-and-white striped dress striding across a map of the Caribbean, one foot on Jamaica and the other on Puerto Rico, with labeled islands, a Lockheed Constellation at upper left, a galleon at right, and the PAA winged-globe logo beside "Pan American World Airways" at the bottom. Paper is not laid down. Unframed.
