A pair of cowboy boots and a skyline of tall office towers make up the core of this poster, a pairing that sums up the state's image in the years around 1960: rural tradition and fast urban growth shown side by side. Braniff International Airways, a carrier with its headquarters in Dallas, used such images to pitch Texas as a destination for business and leisure travelers during the jet age, when air travel was expanding quickly. The lithograph's bold color and simple layout were typical of American travel posters of the 1950s and 1960s, which aimed to be read at a glance from airport walls and travel offices.
