Incredible Rare 1940s / 1950a Photographic Sailing Tie By Color Photo

Vibrant 1940s swing tie by Color Photo, featuring an idyllic lakeside sailing scene

Utilising a new technology in the 1940s, this stunning tie has been photo printed in richly saturated hues. The artwork depicts elegant yachts gliding across deep blue waters, with lush green reeds in the foreground and dramatic mountain formations rising behind. Although the exact lake is not identified, the imagery strongly evokes the alpine-inspired landscapes popular in 1940s American commercial art.

The soft neutral reverse and wide swing silhouette allow the artwork to stand out beautifully when worn, making this a wonderful choice for the gentleman who appreciates novelty ties, outdoor pursuits, nautical style, or simply a unique statement piece. Perfect for vintage enthusiasts, collectors of mid-century American neckwear, and costumiers seeking authentic novelty pieces for 1930s–50s productions.

A particularly thoughtful gift for a sailing-minded partner or anyone who appreciates miniature works of art within their wardrobe.
