Ranger of the lost art

[Matt Deckard]

I ran into a few of the postcards At Grand Canyon National park a couple years ago and thought you'd like to see. They are resurected 1930's posters that were painted for the parks. Repros as postcards and posters are now being sold.

Those are cool Matt! I'd sure like some in poster size for my walls! Aren't old travel posters just magical and exciting in some ways? I mean, they made the place seem very exciting and romantic with a painting! I really like the World's Fair posters too! Most posters from that time were just beautiful in design.

Great imagery that makes you want to be there. White suit with pith helmet and lounging around.

That white suit one is just to die for! I saw that poster at Disneyland once in line for the Jungle Cruse. The idea of fling in an old Ford Tri-motor dressed like that is such a fun thing to imagine!

Wish traveling was as glamorousn now as it once was.
