This is a vintage Swissair travel poster with a bold blue background. Large white lettering at the top reads “SWISSAIR,” with smaller gold text below stating “to the Mediterranean.” The central image is a stylized illustration of two classical columns with pink and white shafts and scroll-shaped capitals, suggesting ancient Mediterranean architecture. Between and behind the columns are brightly colored triangular shapes resembling sails or rooftops in magenta, orange, and blue, set above a narrow band of sea. Near the top right, a small jet aircraft with a red tail is shown flying horizontally across the sky. The overall design is graphic and modernist, using simplified forms and strong color contrasts typical of mid-20th-century airline advertising.
