Arthur A. Johnson’s vintage “Chicago Transit” advertises an alternative to the city’s hustle and bustle in burnished colors and bold graphics. In the 1920s, Chicago’s Rapid Transit Company commissioned graphic artists to create ads attractively depicting trains as transportation to destinations other than work. “Chicago Transit,” one of 160 posters produced between 1921 and 1929, depicts the city’s elevated North and South Shore Lines.

This high-quality art print is expertly produced to capture the vivid color and exceptional detail of the original.
