Artwork source: Public domain, U.S. government work (WPA Federal Art Project, Frank S. Nicholson, U.S. Travel Bureau, c.1936-1939) - Library of Congress 93505613, no known restrictions · View the original. Reproduced in full from an archival scan of the public-domain original — not redrawn, not AI-generated.

A great red-rock double arch frames the sky while two riders cross the sandy desert floor below, above the words See America and United States Travel Bureau. Frank S. Nicholson designed this silkscreen poster in the late 1930s for the United States Travel Bureau's See America campaign, produced by the WPA Federal Art Project in New York City. As a work of the U.S. government it is in the public domain; this print reproduces it from the Library of Congress's high-resolution scan of an original poster, with the poster's own paper edge and small signs of age kept.
