Rather than a ballpark or a player, this poster promotes New England as a summer destination, and its slogan, "New England Is Vacationland," carries the pitch alongside illustrated travelers. Posters like this were a staple of regional tourism in the early and mid twentieth century, when rail and automobile travel made lakes, coasts and mountains reachable for ordinary vacationers. The "Vacationland" label is most closely associated with Maine, which used it widely to draw summer visitors, so the piece reflects a regional appeal as much as a single place. The figures it shows reveal the leisure styles the campaign hoped to sell.
