Shangri-La
2026 By Derek Anderson, Joel Anderson
About the Art
Here lies a place so beloved across numerous cultures that the name now refers to an idea more so than a physical location. Indeed, though Shangri-La originated in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by the British author James Hilton (as a mystical, harmonious valley enclosed at the western end of the Tibetan Kunlun Mountains), the term has now become synonymous with any earthly paradise, particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia, an enduringly happy land, isolated from the world. Vintage poster art provides the perfect style for depicting fantasy world travel destinations like Shangri-La, and this original travel poster and hand-rendered art design will look great as an unframed print, framed illustration, notecard, postcard, metal sign, or canvas. Available in multiple size options, this whimsical travel art and world destination art was fashioned in the style of 20th-century vintage art and the iconic travel art and retro art that first promoted international travel.
