DescriptionAmerican posters promoting rail travel during the mid-20th century typically showcased a weighty, impressive train charging across the landscape. Often drawn with an acute depth of field, the locomotive typically vanishes into the horizon. This poster promoting Wisconsin cheese takes the most recognizable elements from that genre and updates them in a humorous, eye-catching design printed by offset lithography.
