EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Advertisement for the Passumpsic Railroad Poster, 1876" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Created by the American School in the 19th century, this print showcases an advertisement for the Passumpsic Railroad, a subsidiary of the Boston and Maine Railroad. The poster was designed to celebrate July 4th, 1876 - exactly one hundred years after America's independence on July 4th, 1776. The image captures the excitement and patriotism surrounding this centennial celebration. It features a bustling train station scene with people eagerly waiting to board trains adorned with patriotic decorations. The advertisement highlights special concessionary fares and reduced tariffs offered during this festive period. The timetable displayed indicates arrivals and departures of various trains along with their respective destinations. This visual representation emphasizes convenience and affordability as key selling points for potential travelers. Through its detailed engraving technique, this artwork not only serves as an effective advertising tool but also provides valuable insights into transportation systems of that era. It offers viewers a glimpse into how railroads played a crucial role in connecting communities across America during important historical events. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece from Peter Newark American Pictures reminds us of our nation's rich heritage while showcasing the artistic talent employed in creating such promotional materials during that time period.
