Vintage Travel Poster
This image is a reproduction of the iconic "Rural Pennsylvania" vintage travel poster created by artist Katherine Milhous. The original poster was produced under the Work Projects Administration (WPA) Federal Art Project between 1936 and 1940 to promote tourism in Pennsylvania.
The artwork is a lithograph that utilizes bold shapes and colors in a Pennsylvania Dutch folk-art style. It depicts plainly dressed children from a local religious community, often identified as Amish or Quaker children, with a village scene and meetinghouse in the background. Milhous, a Quaker herself, was a supervisor for the Philadelphia Federal Art Project and often incorporated local cultural motifs into her designs.
