This is a vintage original and rare official poster issued by the Republic of Iraq, Summer Resorts and Tourism Service. This poster features a festive and colorful Mid-Century Modern abstract scene with belly dancers performing with women musicians under the title Baghdad with additional text in English, German and French that reads Arabian Nights.   The lower left corner is signed in English with what looks like “Y. Shakez” and also in Arabic.   Additional Arabic text is printed in the lower margin on the right side.    

This vintage original poster shows just slight handling wear including lightly bumped edges and a bit of slight creasing.  A small nick is off the tip of the upper left corner not affecting the image area.  The poster has no tape but there are a couple slight small tape stains on the back of the poster. Overall condition is very good.  Please see our other listings for more vintage Iraq travel posters.
