This vintage map reproduction shows a vibrant and playful pictorial map, by Rubén Travieso, created for Eastern Airlines, the "Official Airline of Carnaval Miami," in 1984. The map uses a bold, cartoonish style to celebrate the rich cultures and colorful landscapes of Latin America, while promoting Eastern Airlines as the connection between the Americas. It emphasizes the airline’s role in bridging the gap between North, Central, and South America, depicting the journey as an exciting and festive experience.
The map features a jubilant scene of people riding on top of a whimsical airplane flying across a night sky. The passengers represent diverse cultural icons, characters, and traditions, from musicians to dancers, symbolizing the cultural vibrancy of Latin America. Below, the colorful landscapes of the region are depicted with exaggerated geographical and cultural highlights, including iconic landmarks like Mayan pyramids, tropical rainforests, and bustling cityscapes. Surrounding the region are hot air balloons decorated with national flags, symbolizing the unity and celebration of the Americas.
