    Description

    This portrait is restored from an Illinois Central 1940's Paul Proeh poster advertising Chicago and its Lake Shore. It is printed on gloss cardstock photo paper with Canon inks guaranteed for 100 years without fading
    The Illinois Central followed the Mississippi River to connect the midwest’s industrial and corn belt states to the Southern Ports. It was known as the “Main-Line of the Midwest”. Famous for its Engineer “Casey Jones” and Arlo Guthrie’s folk tune “City of New Orleans”, the IC evokes the golden era of rail travel. It later merged with the Gulf Mobile and Ohio to become Illinois Central Gulf and later part of the Canadian National system.
    Poster text reads: "Chicago. The vacation city". Chicago was the hub of a number of railroads and connected the two coasts together. It was the home of Illinois Central and the headquarters of many other fallen flags. "
    This poster comes framed in an 11"x17" frame with solid plastic trim with a glass cover and we ship it, so it won't break in transit. Any watermark is only on website photos and not placed on our final prints.
