Who’d have thought the bull McCabe would have such a way with words?

Love the colossal pony terrorising Galway in no. 6.

A lot of them poster styles are quite prevalent today…

The first poster and other vintage travel posters are for sale at national museum… Some great images!

How very mad men!

Love them.

They should update them & run a major campaign.

Just went on to the national museum website and bought a poster having seen these. They’re wonderful.

Pic 22 , she must have been late for her flight :))

No 11 looks like an airplane is about to fly into Nelson’s Column on O’Connell Street

Delightful nostalgia. Posters so representative of the “Golden Age” of aviation and typical too of the advertising genre that lasted over 100 years starting in the 19th century.

Are those girls in the poster teaching the Garda how to read

Lovely posters but let’s not forget that back in the so-called golden age of air travel it was the preserve of the rich. I remember going to London a few times in the seventies – travelling by air didn’t even enter my head as it was too expensive; instead, for the likes of me, a boat/train (and sometimes coach) option was the only realistic way to go. The Cork/London trip felt as if it took all day and all night. Nowadays all of us can fly for what are bargain prices in comparison to the past and that is down to one person – Michael O’Leary, the harbinger of the true golden age of air travel.

No..while these posters are lovely and represent a poorer and more innocent time they would be mid leading modern potential tourists….how about some with non stop rain and junkies and skangers hanging around dirty alleys….and young girls dressed up like cheap hookers and drunks throwing up in temple bar?…we ll be over run

The Yanks love all that nostalic stuff. I had a few Yanks in the pub the other day and they was going down to k erry to see a few horse and carts. I said to them if you want to see some clowns stick around for a while.

Did pic 21 predict the future?

Nice :-)

Are these for sale anywhere? Would love to buy a few of these.

So much better than what we get in 2012, everything has been dumbed down.

#7 is absolutely fantastic!
You Belong.

Awh, classic.
