California American Airlines, circa 1960, by Peter Boyle
This circa 1960 poster by American artist Peter Boyle promotes travel to California via American Airlines. The artwork features a vibrant collage of iconic Californian landmarks and symbols. Prominently displayed is the Golden Gate Bridge, representing San Francisco, alongside the Hollywood Bowl and the Capitol Records building, signifying Los Angeles's rich musical heritage. In the foreground, a cheerful couple basks under palm trees, embodying the state's sunny allure. Sailboats glide across the waters, and film equipment nods to Hollywood's cinematic influence.
During the 1960s, California experienced a surge in tourism, driven by its burgeoning entertainment industry, scenic landscapes, and cultural landmarks. American Airlines capitalised on this trend by commissioning artists like Boyle to create compelling advertisements that captured the state's appeal. The inclusion of various attractions in the poster reflects the airline's strategy to market California as a multifaceted destination, appealing to a wide range of travellers seeking both relaxation and cultural experiences.
Peter Boyle (1903–1967) was an American artist and illustrator. Born in Philadelphia, Boyle gained national recognition as a cartoonist for the "Evening Bulletin," a prominent Philadelphia newspaper. He attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, honing his skills in both oils and watercolours. Beyond his print work, Boyle was a beloved children's television personality in the Philadelphia area, known as "Uncle Pete," where he engaged young audiences with storytelling and live illustrations.
