I have fallen down the rabbit hole that Pinterest has partly created for me. Most of us are visual people and I am full-on in that category. The interface for posting photos is simple (basically download an extension/add-on to your browser and right click on images you want to pin to one of your boards).
If you want to follow along with me on Pinterest, as I post up the various cool posters (some vintage travel posters, some from movies) that I find on the internet, you can click through to my profile here and follow along.
How much do I want to ride in that sports car? Ummmm…. even if it was in Monaco, sign me up! Hell, speaking of something I want to go see, an F1 race in Monaco just jumped to the top of my mind looking at these shots.
Ocean travel can be mind numbingly boring, at least the way I have done it, which is on cargo freighters. But I’ve always wanted to sail around the Med and that particular vintage travel poster gets my mind to wandering. Something to add to my to-do list.
Oddly, I have never been to Paris. And Russia is not one of my favorite countries. But that being said, I love these vintage travel posters and their simplicity.
I am a sucker for gambling anywhere, and though I have never done it in Atlantic City, I’d be down for that. As to Mexico, I have spend some time there and need to spend a lot more. These make me want to go…. perhaps in a time machine.
These are a different style than the other ones and they have that certain French look to them, I think. Reminds me slightly of my short time there in Bordeaux.
Colorful, colorful, colorful!
I’ll finish with two of my favorites. Simple lines. Simple colors. Perfect.

Definitely noticed your increasing number of travel poster pins on pinterest, haha. But seriously, I LOVE these! Especially the Atlantic City one — AC in the 20s looks much classier, no?
I’ll enjoy your poster choices here. Already got hooked on pinterest and then cancelled out.
Not sure I’m up for a very long cruise, maybe the Panama Canal. But I’d head to back to Oaxaca and beyond in a heart beat.
Great choices! I like them all.
I also love vintage posters, but I’m a lazy pinner. The Côte d’Azur is my favorite.
Love these! I had a vintage poster calendar a few years ago and liked it so much I had them put into frames. At least that was the plan. It’s still in storage. Somewhere…
Those are really awesome! I find the Mexico’s vintage post card as the most unique and also like the Atlantic City too…
Oooo, I LOVE these!! Why don’t they continue to make travel posters like this?? They’re so eye-catching.
These are some really interesting posters. I remember when I was young, I used to collect Travel Postcards. Maybe I should look for them and upload it on my blog 🙂
Really awesome those of pictures…thanks for sharing.
I like the concept of the blog. The pictures really looks vintage. REAL stunning, thanks for posting.
LOVE THEM!!!! im a huge print design fan! this article appealed to me since im such a collector of posters myself! would love to have them all!
LOVE these!
I love vintage travel and tourism posters, too! When I visited the so-called English Riviera there were tons of these old posters about town, all from the region’s hay-day. They were amazing but a tiny bit depressing, considering that the advent of cheap flights means no-one visits any more – they can all go to Spain, for example, for the same price and the beaches are a lot better!
These posters really are cool, but I keep wondering how my home region (Utah) was coming off in the era of these images. Okay, okay—curiosity has the best of me. I need to do a Google image search for these.
And here’s what I found:

I also keep thinking of the game Bioshock, which seems to have based much of their artwork in the style found in these posters.
