The beach and skyline share the view. The Illinois Central Railroad promoted Chicago as a holiday destination, positioning the city as "The Vacation City" and promoting travel on "The Road of Travel Luxury." Paul Proehl designed the poster for the railway's campaign.
On the poster
Bathers enjoy the golden sand of the Lake Michigan shore under colourful parasols, with Chicago's skyline rising behind them. An elegant woman with a decorative parasol holds the centre of the scene. Bold lettering runs across the sheet.
