A really enchanting image of North Africa for the Transatlantic Company. Whichever side of the travel poster debate one falls on–destination vs. transportation–the charm of this design is incontrovertible, with its earthen citadel rising from the desert like an indulgent mirage. Set against an undulating firmament, its an oasis at midnight capable of generating an addictive need to fulfill one’s own tales of Arabian nights.
