During a summer of containment and people staying close to their personal bubbles, this auction’s assortment of beach and summer resort posters (see below) seems especially poignant, as for many of us, viewing them will be as close as we get to traveling this season. But we are lucky, because our virtual tour around the world covers incredible ground and encompasses many exciting and attractive images. Also included is a broad section of travel posters from the United States and abroad.
Please note: This auction will be held live and will be conducted remotely by Swann auctioneers taking bids from multiple platforms.
