One of the newer parks (it’s the 63rd park!) New River Gorge National Park is known for its mountain ranges, iconic bridge, hiking trails, babbling brooks and rushing rivers, plus its quaint towns and communities and the history they preserve. The clear focal point of the park is the New River Gorge Bridge, a masterpiece of engineering that was completed in 1977 yet which has an iconic and whimsical vintage style to it. The gorge bridge is the longest steel-span bridge in the U.S. and the third tallest. It is not only an incredible feat of engineering, it’s a work of art, too! Anderson Design Group’s artist collaborator Arden von Haeger handcrafted a vintage travel poster of the bridge, styling the poster with influences from mid-century WPA-commissioned artwork that promoted the parks. Arden's hand-rendered illustration style conveys grandeur, romance, and nuance. This national park poster and vintage national park art is perfect for your home or office decor. It also serves as an excellent national park gift for the enthusiast in your family. As an original national park illustration, this design will look great as an unframed print, framed poster, notecard, postcard, metal sign, canvas, or mini canvas. This hand-rendered nature illustration is fashioned in the style of vintage poster art and the iconic 20th-century travel art that first promoted the national parks in the 19th and 20th centuries. And for trip-planning, fun facts, helpful resources, and important conservation information for this park and so many other beautiful national parks across the U.S., check out the National Park Foundation.
