A stylish couple in sunglasses stands beside the Chicago River as Marina City's distinctive cylindrical towers rise into a golden sky. The man points toward the city, depicting the optimism and sophistication of jet-age travel.
Designed by Thomas Maclay Hoyne for United Airlines circa 1963, this poster promoted Chicago as a modern destination during the era when flying remained an event. Hoyne, known primarily for maritime art, brought his architectural eye to this urban composition.
The poster exemplifies mid-century travel advertising: bold sans-serif typography, saturated colour palette, and the promise that modern cities awaited the modern traveller. Marina City, completed in 1964, represented Chicago's architectural ambition during America's post-war boom.
Reproduced as an archival print using pigment-based inks on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Fine Art Paper. A natural fit for collectors of vintage travel art and anyone drawn to the visual confidence of 1960s America.
