Among the many railway posters promoting western travel, this one stands out for its focus on the redwoods, the towering coast trees that its title places within a Pacific Northwest wonderland reached by train. Printed in Chicago around 1925 by Newman-Monroe Co., this color lithograph reflects the 1920s, when railroads and travel promoters competed hard for tourists heading to western scenic regions. The title also names The Willmarths, and the poster shows how the era presented distant landscapes to city readers as accessible, comfortable destinations.
