Travel Syria - Poster

A minimal approach to the 1950s vintage travel poster.

This Visit Syria illustration details the large medieval fortified palace in the centre of the city of Aleppo, northern Syria. It is considered one of the oldest and largest castles in the world as it dates back to around the 3rd millennium. The forefront illustrates native Aleppo pine trees staggering over a Syrian man dressed in a traditional 'tarboosh' hat and 'serwal' pants. The Arabic text reminds us that "Syria welcomes you."
