EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph poster, dating back to the late 19th century, is a remarkable piece of American advertising history. Created around 1890, it was designed to promote the Pacific Express service offered by the Missouri-Pacific Railway. The poster showcases an exquisite blend of allegorical elements and vivid imagery that captures the essence of transportation during this era. At its center stands a majestic locomotive, symbolizing progress and speed. Surrounding it are cherubs representing the spirit of innovation and advancement. Intriguingly, a woman dressed as Columbia - a personification of America - graces the scene with her presence. This inclusion suggests that railroads were seen as integral to national identity and growth at that time. With its bold colors and meticulous details, this lithograph serves as both an advertisement for railway services and a work of art in itself. It transports us back to an era when rail travel was booming across America. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York, this print offers us a glimpse into turn-of-the-century advertising techniques while also reminding us of the significant role railways played in shaping our nation's history. Whether viewed through historical or artistic lenses, this railroad poster remains an enduring testament to America's love affair with trains during the late 1800s.
