See America: Visit the National Parks by Harry Herzog
Harry Herzog’s See America: Visit the National Parks transforms the American wilderness into a bold WPA-era travel image. A towering waterfall plunges between monumental canyon walls, framed by olive-green vegetation and distant layers of blue-green and lavender mountains capped with snow.
Created between 1936 and 1940 for the United States Travel Bureau, the poster combines simplified landscape forms with commanding typography and a restrained period palette. The dramatic waterfall, textured silhouettes and message to “See America” capture the optimism and visual clarity of American public-information and travel posters of the 1930s.
