  • Original Vintage KLM The Flying Dutchman Poster by Leendert Spierenburg c1955
    Feb. 06, 2025

    Original Vintage KLM The Flying Dutchman Poster by Leendert Spierenburg c1955

    Est: $1,200 - $1,500

    This original vintage poster for The Flying Dutchman, designed by Dutch artist Leenert Spierenburg (1887–1949), is a stunning example of early 20th-century advertising art. The design features a bold and dynamic depiction of a sailing ship, silhouetted against dramatic waves and skies, evoking the legendary tale of the ghost ship doomed to sail the seas eternally. The image highlights K.L.M.'s slogan, “The Flying Dutchman,” which was used throughout the mid-20th Century. The poster also reads “Maintaining A Fine Tradition.” The artwork relates the folklore of the Flying Dutchman, an ever-traveling sea vessel, to K.L.M.'s continuous trans-continental flights. K.L.M. (Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij), known as the Royal Dutch Airlines, is an aviation company founded in 1919 by Albert Plesman. In 2003, K.L.M. and Air France agreed to a merger plan in which they would become subsidiaries of a holding company called Air France-KLM. K.L.M. is the oldest airline still operating under its original name to this day. Leendert Spierenburg was a prominent Dutch graphic artist and designer known for his contributions to early 20th-century commercial art and poster design. Born in Amsterdam, Spierenburg studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, where he honed his skills in illustration and design. Spierenburg's posters were widely used for advertising theatrical productions, events, and products, showcasing his ability to blend artistic creativity with commercial appeal. This is an Original Vintage Poster, it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all our posters.

    LEENDERT SPIERENBURG (1922-1971). THE FLYING DUTCHMAN / KLM ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES. Circa 1950s. 39½x24¾ inches, 100¼x62¾ cm.

    Est: $700 - $1,000

    LEENDERT SPIERENBURG (1922-1971) THE FLYING DUTCHMAN / KLM ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES. Circa 1950s. 39 1/2x24 3/4 inches, 100 1/4x62 3/4 cm. Condition B+ / B: repaired tears, replaced losses, creases and overpainting in image; restoration and overpainting in margins. The legend of the "Flying Dutchman," a ghost ship destined to sail the seas forever without ever making port, and whose sighting is considered a portent of doom, seems a very unlikely model upon which an airline would base their advertising. And yet, KLM used the ancient myth as part of their promotion material for decades. The Dutch airline first flew Lockheed Constellations in 1946, ultimately employing over 25 of the aircraft to service their routes.
