An unknown poster by court artist Bill Robles came to
light with an email to Bill requesting information about a poster. The person purchased
the LAX poster from an estate sale and was curious about the image. Bill requested a photo of the poster and confirmed that the illustration was done for a 1969 annual report cover. It came as
a complete shock to Bill as he never knew the piece of artwork had been turned
into a poster.

Bill said "Needless to say, seeing
the poster, I was blown away! Nobody at the Dept. of Airports ever
told me that it was also going to be used as a poster promoting LAX! As it
turned out, the owners of the poster have a charming book store in Covina, and
they were going to sell it along with other items from their inventory at an
upcoming Pasadena book fair.As you can imagine, I had to have it!”
"Can you imagine, the poster is 45 years old, and in mint condition, and I am so thrilled to have it!"
