Rocco Navigato had the view from his own studio, on top of the Wrigley Building. He designed the poster in 1924 for the Chicago Elevated Lines, encouraging journeys to the city’s attractions. From the studio he could see the Michigan Avenue Bridge, the avenue itself and the London Guarantee Insurance building.
On the poster
Michigan Avenue stretches into the night, a river of turquoise light dotted with the golden windows of the skyscrapers. The Michigan Avenue Bridge, opened in 1920, crosses the Chicago River. Overhead train lines snake through the buildings and automobiles flow in streams below.
