That Family Called the U.S.A. is a delightful piece of early-20th-century Americana that transforms individual American states into a playful family of illustrated characters. Figures representing states including Rhode Island, Idaho, California, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, Missouri and Virginia surround the central credit for Billy Downs, each incorporating a recognizable state-shaped form into their clothing or costume.

Soft greens, dusty pinks, blues and warm browns stand against an aged cream ground, preserving the distinctive character of vintage illustrated sheet music. Decorative lettering gives the title a commanding presence, while the humorous state personifications and finely drawn period costumes create a wonderfully detailed celebration of American popular culture.
