Vintage Tavern Sign Print - The 8 Mile House, Folk Art

Bold black letters reading "The 8 Mile House" fill a weathered wooden sign that hangs from a rough beam - the kind of roadside tavern sign that told travelers how far they were from town. This watercolor rendering of the original sign was made by E. J. Reynolds around 1941 for the Index of American Design, a WPA Federal Art Project that recorded American folk art. This print reproduces it, now in the public domain, from a high-resolution open-access image by the National Gallery of Art, Washington (object 20256).
