OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
In
1986, the Foster and Kleiser Company sent twenty-nine original 5x7 negatives
of American Airlines outdoor advertisements that Foster and Kleiser had
produced for American to Paul Kent, who was the head of the “American
Airlines Museum” in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The advertisements depicted in these negatives appeared in the Los Angeles
area between 1938 and 1959 and they are a wonderful visual record of how
airlines reached their target audiences in an age before mass media. Here
is a sampling of those images. (Click
