This vintage original Illinois travel poster was issued by the Illinois Department of Business & Economic Development Division of Tourism. A stylized view of Lincoln in profile and on horseback and Lincoln’s childhood log cabin home are depicted in a Pop Art style with the poster’s title Lincoln Country – Enjoy Illinois. The name of the artist is signed in the image but we haven’t been able to figure out who created this wonderful poster. The poster has a Union emblem printed in the lower left hand corner and isn’t dated but appears to be from the late 1960s or early 1970s. This poster is folded as issued and has no tape or pinholes and only light handling wear. Overall condition is very good. This poster ships folded as issued.
