Poster Auctions International and Long Island’s Cradle of Aviation Museum have teamed up to launch an exhibition of rare, early aviation posters. The exhibition is open through October 18, at which time the posters will be returned to Poster Auctions International in New York City in time for its biannual auction of rare, vintage posters on Sunday, November 8.
The exhibition at the museum showcases classic aviation posters from as early as 1908 up through the 1930s, alongside the museum’s well-known and extensive permanent aviation collection.
From famous French air races to Wright Brothers ephemera, scientific advancements in flight technology to historic advertisements, this show covers all aspects of early aviation history. Moreover, as all of these posters come from private collections located around the world, this is a chance to see such a large gathering of original lithographic masterpieces.
Poster Auctions International is at 601 West 26th Street. For information, www.postersplease.com or contact Angelina Lippert at 212-787-4000.
The museum is on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard. For information, 516-572-4111 or www.CradleOfAviation.org .
