DESCRIPTION

Surrounding are several art decco style scenes, representative of the art, culture, history, agriculture, and industry of the Caribbean. Below, a jet airliner flies out of a mid-century KLM logo that rests above what appear to be a runway marker that spans the bottom section of the poster. Spierenburg's signature appears just above.
