Chicago Vacation City 1925

Paul Proehl1925

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.

Our restoration process

History has wrinkles. We have standards.

A century or two can be unkind to a poster. Folds, tears, stains, fading and the occasional indignity of terrible storage.

Each print begins with historic artwork, carefully restored using the latest digital tools and restoration techniques. Damage is addressed, colours refined and details recovered, while respecting the original composition, lettering and character.

The result? All the charm of the original, without having to live with its unfortunate accidents.

Paper and print details

Good art deserves good paper.

Each poster is printed to order using professional giclée printing techniques and archival pigment inks on 200gsm enhanced matte fine art paper.

The natural white, smooth matte finish reduces glare while bringing out rich colours and crisp detail. The inks are designed for excellent lightfastness, helping the artwork retain its colour for years to come.
