Description :
Rare original TIA Portfolio for Seattle, issued October 1981, featuring a curated selection of photographic and graphic works (Including photography by Christian Staub), produced for the Travel Industry Association’s Seattle promotional campaign. This portfolio captures the city at a pivotal cultural moment—early‑1980s architecture, waterfront identity, and pre‑tech‑boom urban character—through the eyes of multiple contributing photographers and designers. Created as a limited‑distribution professional portfolio, not sold commercially, these sets were circulated within industry, municipal, and design circles. Surviving examples are scarce, especially in complete and well‑preserved condition. Year: 1981
Title: TIA Portfolio for Seattle
Issued: October 1981
Medium: Printed promotional art portfolio
Contents: Multiple photographic and graphic plates (see photos for included works)
Condition: Very good overall; light handling consistent with age. No major creases, tears, or moisture exposure noted. Notes:
Unframed individual plates. Portfolio sleeve shows expected shelf wear. A strong example of early‑1980s Seattle visual identity and a desirable piece for collectors of regional ephemera, design history, and Pacific Northwest promotional art.
