Washington DC – American Airlines

E. McKnight Kauffer designed this great poster for American Airlines in 1948. Placing the US Capitol against a simple background conveys the power and importance of that building. The use of red, white and blue as the principle colors, plus the stars in the sky subtly reinforces the American theme. Kauffer worked for Pan Am and American Airlines after his return to America in 1940.
