A cable car glides up toward Sugarloaf Mountain in this Braniff International Airways poster for Rio de Janeiro, drawn against a bright yellow-green sky. The Sugarloaf cable car opened in 1912 and quickly became one of the city's signature sights, a natural emblem for any airline selling Rio. Braniff, which flew under the name Braniff International Airways from 1948 to 1965, reached Rio in March 1949 as it extended its new South American routes beyond Lima and La Paz, using Douglas DC-4 and DC-6 airliners on the long run to Brazil. The artist of this version is not recorded.

The Gildan 2000, made with 100% U.S. cotton and the latest breakthrough in soft cotton technology, the Gildan Ultra Cotton family has been remastered for improved printability, quality, and comfort you can see and feel.
