This beautiful reproduction poster has been re-mastered from a 1940s travel poster painted by artist by George Pedra and published by the official tourism information office in the Netherlands. The beautiful neighborhood of De Markt in Middelburg, Netherlands is seen in the background. The Gothic-style Middleburg Town Hall with its ornate clock tower is the focus of the background scenery.

 

The vibrant colors and detail of this classic image have been painstakingly brought back to life to preserve a great piece of history.

MIDDLEBURG ZEELAND, NETHERLANDS AND TRAVEL POSTERS

 

Middelburg is a city and municipality in the south-western Netherlands serving as the capital of the province of Zeeland. Situated on the central peninsula of the Zeeland province, Midden-Zeeland (consisting of former islands Walcheren, Noord-Beveland and Zuid-Beveland), it has a population of about 48,000.

 

The Middelburg Town Hall seen in the background of this poster is situated at the market of Middelburg, Zeeland. It is considered to be one of the finest Gothic buildings in the Netherlands. Construction began in 1452 and was supervised by several generations of the Flemish family of architects Keldermans. Construction was completed in 1520, the town hall received a facade with Gothic windows, red-white shutters, smaller turrets and twenty-five statues of Zeeland's counts and countesses.

 

TRAVEL POSTERS

 

Travel posters became a popular advertising medium in the late 1800s for the burgeoning travel industry that served an increasingly mobile population. The posters used beautiful art to summon travelers from near and far to visit a country, city, or event.

 

Following advancements in color lithography in the late 1800s, railroads began producing art-oriented posters to promote ticket sales on their trains. Travel posters were soon adopted by steamship lines, hotels, resorts, and later airlines, with some employing famous graphic artists to lure travelers with scenes of romance, beauty, adventure and leisure.

 

In the early 1900s, travel posters were more Art Nouveau-influenced, and Art Deco became the prevalent influence from 1925 to 1939. Travel posters enjoyed the height of their popularity from the 1920s through the 1950s.

 

Today, travel posters evoke fond memories and dreams of exotic faraway places, adventure, relaxation, and simpler times. They have become highly collectible art, with some original posters selling for tens of thousands of dollars at auctions.
