Additional Information
Dating from the 1920s, this striking travel poster showcases the majestic peak of Mount Rainier, the highest summit in the Cascade Range at 14,410 feet. The Northern Pacific Railway played a pivotal role in promoting the mountain after completing its transcontinental line to nearby Tacoma in 1883.
President McKinley signed legislation establishing Mount Rainier as the nation's fifth national park on March 2, 1899, following a campaign supported by naturalist John Muir, the Sierra Club, and the Northern Pacific itself. The railroad actively courted eastern tourists by advertising passenger service to the mountain's glaciers, alpine meadows, and old-growth forests.
This artwork belongs to the Northern Pacific's acclaimed series of promotional posters that transformed the Pacific Northwest into one of America's most desirable travel destinations. The railway's artists captured the volcanic peak's snow-capped grandeur and surrounding wilderness to entice passengers aboard westbound trains departing from Chicago and St. Paul.
This reproduction preserves the awe-inspiring beauty that has drawn visitors to Mount Rainier for more than a century. Recognized as one of the finest examples of interwar American travel promotion, it connects the golden age of railroad advertising to the enduring magnificence of a landscape that continues to inspire millions of visitors each year.
