A crowded beach scene stretches across the lower half of this vintage travel poster, with sunbathers and swimmers dotting the golden sand and turquoise water while the Chicago skyline rises majestically in the distance. Dark navy framing and cream lettering announce "Chicago, The Vacation City" with Illinois Central Railroad branding, rendered in the warm, saturated palette and illustrative style of early 20th-century travel advertising. Printed on smooth white card stock and made to order, artwork on the front, blank inside, envelopes included in every set. A handwritten note that arrives as an independent artist's work.
