Framed Vintage African Posters

Framed vintage African posters take viewers on an excursion through famous landmarks of Africa, like the ancient pyramids in Cairo and Egypt, along with the wildlife-laden plains of the Serengeti. With its eclectic style, vintage African art has the ability to make any viewer want to jump on a plane and visit the mystic continent for themselves.

Artist Bill James’s popular framed vintage African art piece “Cairo by Air” features an eye-catching mix of fonts and images. The word “Cairo” is printed in mauve across the top of a dusty orange-colored background; at the bottom, “by Air” is written against a strip of black. In the center of the piece, a black silhouette features a man sitting on top of a camel, watching a red and white vintage biplane pass by overhead. Two pyramids sit in front of the man and his camel.
