The bobsled run at Lake Placid, New York, is the subject here, and the poster's title, "Up where winter calls to play," invites visitors to come see it. The run was built for the 1932 Winter Olympics that the village hosted, and it drew sports fans and tourists for years afterward. J. Rivolta designed the silkscreen under the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration, which was based in New York City and produced posters to promote public events and travel. Its bold color and simplified shapes reflect the style of that program.
