Nice link. I really enjoy the old posters and cards and other promotional items from the parks
I have a collection of my own from Yellowstone. I find it quite interesting to find the places the cards display and see how much they have changed. One of my most interesting is a pipe stand made from a buffalo horn with Yellowstone engraved on it. Probably from around the early 1900-s.

They should reintroduce these posters, or at least put them on the annual passes.

They have reintroduced these posters. I own a few of them although I've yet to frame them and hang them on my wall. You can buy a small selection of them at many of the national park visitor center/gift stores or you can visit the Ranger Doug website for the full collection.

thanks for the link Bret. Didn't know about this website and can't wait to let my CC take a hit for some of these...

You bet, Jared. They look especially nice framed in a simple black wood frame with a 3" white linen mat. :wink:

Oh man, I love these things! That art style has always been one of my favorites. I might have to settle for a set of the post cards though! :biggrin:

There's no way I am old enough to remember any of these and you can't prove a thing. :biggrin:
Those are some kind of artwork! Way cool TC!

My grandparents had some of these in their cabin when I was growing up. Of course, I took them for granted as a kid, but I sure do like the style now.
