Los Angeles, United Air Lines, 1960s, by Stan Galli

This 1960s travel poster by Stan Galli promotes Los Angeles as a vibrant and sunny destination. The artwork features a fashionable woman dressed in a striped bikini, white sunglasses, and a headscarf decorated with pink floral patterns. She is illuminated by the warm golden light of a sunny day, standing against a vivid yellow background. Silhouettes of tall California palm trees provide a distinctive sense of place. The bold text "Los Angeles" and "United Air Lines" appears in contrasting red and orange tones.

Stan Galli (1912–2009) was an accomplished American illustrator, best known for his commercial artwork for United Air Lines and other corporate clients. His posters often combined vibrant colours, mid-century modern design sensibilities, and idyllic imagery to capture the spirit of leisure travel during the post-war aviation boom. In the 1960s, air travel was becoming more accessible to the general public, and airlines like United used promotional materials to market exotic and glamorous destinations.
