Description
A beautiful poster from the late 1930s promoting travel in America. The beautiful hues of blue and the suggestion of light bouncing off the stalactites and stalagmites in this beautiful cavern really speak to me, and I'm sure others as well. There's a true sense of wonder at the natural beauty of America here.
The original poster was designed by artist Alexander Dux for the WPA during the late 1930s. The Works Progress Administration was a product of the new New Deal era government. The program among other things created a wealth of now vintage posters to publicize exhibits, community activities, theatrical productions, and health and educational programs across the US.
This poster has been carefully restored to its original appearance. The vintage style is still there but the result is a poster that feels as if it was just printed yesterday instead of decades ago!
