Grand Canyon National Park: Mule Train (Mod Design)
2024 By Annie E. Cauffman, Joel Anderson
About the Art
What better way to celebrate the Grand Canyon than to depict the iconic mule trains that have been transporting visitors in and out of the canyon since the 1800s? For this particular vintage poster, ADG teamed up with Annie Cauffman, talented mod art illustrator. Annie's bold sense of style and her iconic vintage mid-century mod rendering techniques add a classic jet-age whimsey to our popular travel poster art series. Reminiscent of the iconic TWA posters of the mid-20th Century, this retro design celebrates the classic adventure of riding a mule down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. This unforgettable overnight trip allows visitors to sleep under the stars overnight at Phantom Ranch, a rustic oasis nestled deep in the Canyon. The next day, the mule train leads explorers along the cliffs of the Inner Gorge, across the Colorado River on the Suspension Bridge, and up Bright Angel Canyon on the north side of the river. 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.
