Travel poster details

This is an original vintage travel poster design by contemporary artist Henry Rivers. Inspired by vintage travel advertising of the 20th century, Henry illustrates the world’s best-loved places with cool colours, playful details and a minimalist style.

Vintage travel poster of an Elephant and its child roaming across the plains of the African Savannah. In the background are iconic Umbrella Thorn trees and the silhouette of snow capped Mount Kilimanjaro. On top of the Elephant sit two cheeky Cattle Egrets getting a free ride. The artwork is in a minimalist illustrated style, with a variety of textures and painted texture effects in sandy shades.

The design marks a new direction for Henry, with animals taking front and center of the design. Drawing Elephants represented a challenge, but felt necessary for a country so visited for its incredible wildlife. Henry hopes to attempt more animal-based posters in the future and hopes you like this one. The text reads Visit Tanzania.
