Great huge poster for the 1964 NY World’s Fair's full-sized replica the Santa Maria, flagship of Christopher Columbus’ fleet moored at the end of a 15th Century-style floating Spanish wharf. Named “Space Ship – 1492,” this recreation was an intercontinental collaboration that insured authenticity. Led by architect José Maria Martínez-Hidalgo, curator of the Maritime Museum of Barcelona, Spain; with Colonel Howard I. Chapelle, Chief of the Naval and Transportation Section of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
We have never seen this ’64 WF poster before.Please note foxing, this could be addressed with linen backing.
