A jet and a satellite circle the Earth together, and the invitation is in French: VISITEZ L'URSS. Intourist, the Soviet state travel agency, issued the poster. It is dated 1958 and credited to A. Traut, the year after Sputnik 1 was launched.
On the poster
A silver jet aircraft banks around the Earth alongside an orbiting satellite, their white trajectories traced against a deep blue starfield. Bold red text across the Soviet Union, highlighted on the globe, reads "VISITEZ L'URSS" [visit the USSR].
