Mark Von Arenburg designed a series of posters in the late 1940s that are very attractive and highly desireable. Some of these posters (e.g. Hawaii and Rio) were printed in different languages for foreign markets. The Von Arenburg posters were the first to use the "By Clipper" tagline which was subsequently continued with a range of posters in the 1950s.
 
This poster is one of over 30 that were produced as 16 x 12 miniatures for counter top display.
