A stylized woman in fashionable dress shares the frame with starfish in this Miami poster, pairing city glamour with the Florida coast. Credited to Hoyt and issued for Braniff International Airways, the color lithograph is dated circa 1960, when airlines competed for leisure travelers headed to warm-weather destinations. Posters like this promoted places through fashion and local color rather than practical details, and the subject headings point to the period's interest in women's clothing from 1950 to 1970.
