Vientiane Travel Poster, Laos Buddhist Illustration

A Buddhist monk appears in the flat color and clean lines of a mid-century travel poster, evoking Vientiane and the spiritual side of Laos. The style strips detail away to focus on shape and mood, which is what gives vintage posters their lasting appeal.

Office walls and study spaces suit it well, especially alongside other travel posters from the region or beyond. Hallways and entryways also work, hung alone or as part of a growing collection of destination prints.

Backpackers who have been to Vientiane, Southeast Asia enthusiasts, and collectors of travel posters are the audience. Give it as a memento after a trip, or to a friend planning one and dreaming about the journey ahead.
