Dimensions:

  • Mount St. Helens: Approx. 21" x 25"

  • Lufthansa Germany: Approx. 20" x 30"

Description: A striking pair of vintage travel posters, each celebrating a different kind of escape. The first features Mount St. Helens and Spirit Lake, Washington—captured in a serene pre-eruption moment. Snow-capped peaks rise behind a glassy lake, with a lone boat drifting across mirrored waters. Dense forest frames the scene, evoking the untouched majesty of the Pacific Northwest before 1980’s dramatic transformation.

The second poster is a Lufthansa travel advertisement, inviting viewers to explore Germany’s tranquil landscapes. A woman lounges on a blanket beside a forested lake, surrounded by tall trees and soft hills. The multilingual tagline—“Germany - Deutschland - Allemagne”—adds cosmopolitan charm, while the vintage call to “Ask your Travel Agent” evokes the golden age of jet-set travel.

Condition: Unframed. Light edge wear and toning consistent with age. No major tears or stains noted.

Collector Notes:

  • The Mount St. Helens poster is a poignant snapshot of a landscape forever changed—ideal for collectors of Pacific Northwest history or vintage national park art.

  • The Lufthansa piece blends lifestyle imagery with destination allure, perfect for fans of mid-century travel design.

  • Together, they offer a compelling narrative: one rooted in geological drama, the other in European leisure.
