Jerome Henry Rothstein’s 1936 poster See America. Welcome to Montana presents the state as a compact theatre of mountain, water and open sky. A monumental brown tipi anchors the foreground, while dark geometric peaks rise beyond a band of blue water and a stand of green trees. The landscape is not rendered naturalistically: it is distilled into crisp silhouettes, rhythmic patterns and broad areas of colour, giving the scene the immediate clarity required of a travel advertisement.

Created during the era of the WPA Federal Art Project, the poster belongs to a wider campaign encouraging Americans to discover destinations within their own country. Rothstein began working in the WPA poster division while still a teenager, developing an accessible graphic language shaped by bold colour and optimistic promotional imagery. Here, Montana is offered through a deliberately selective vision of place—spacious, dramatic and culturally distinctive—while the commanding phrase “SEE AMERICA” connects the state to a national programme of tourism and civic pride.

A closer look

The composition is organised in strongly defined horizontal stages. At the top, an expansive pale sky surrounds the words “SEE AMERICA”, allowing the lettering to register before the eye descends into the landscape. Small white clouds temper this open space, while the mountain range below is built from angular planes of dark and lighter brown. Its sharp peaks and flattened facets lend the terrain an Art Deco geometry: less a topographical record than a memorable emblem of mountainous Montana.

In the centre foreground, the tipi provides the poster’s largest and warmest form. Its deep earthen brown is enlivened by spare linear ornament, and its tapering profile echoes the pointed summits behind it. This repetition binds foreground and distance together, while the nearby trees establish a contrasting rhythm of narrow green verticals. Small, simplified figures and animal forms appear towards the left, rendered in light reddish tones. They are subordinate to the main design, but reward closer attention by adding a narrative layer to an otherwise monumental landscape.

Across the lower section, blue water is animated by repeated white wave motifs. These curling, decorative marks interrupt the poster’s heavier blocks of brown and green, producing a lively visual cadence before the composition resolves into the broad lettering “WELCOME TO MONTANA”. The warm oranges and browns of the land stand against the cooler blue, while minimal shading keeps every element legible. At the lower left, the words “UNITED STATES TRAVEL BUREAU” identify the institutional setting behind the poster’s invitation.

Context and significance

WPA poster design formed part of a larger programme that employed artists while bringing modern graphic communication into public life. Posters announced exhibitions, public services, educational initiatives and travel opportunities, often using economical shapes and forceful typography suited to rapid viewing. Rothstein’s design reflects that approach: the message is concise, the landscape immediately recognisable as an idea of the American West, and the limited palette ensures that words and scenery operate as a single graphic statement.

The poster also reveals how tourism imagery constructed a destination through a handful of potent signs. Mountain wilderness, water, evergreen trees and Indigenous cultural imagery are brought together to create an inviting identity for Montana, even though the scene is highly stylised rather than geographically exact. Its enduring interest lies in that balance between place and persuasion: a landscape reduced to essentials, yet rich in the visual confidence and public-minded optimism of American poster design in the 1930s.

Choosing the right size and finish

Artwork can feel intimate at smaller sizes and dramatically more architectural at larger ones. Use the room preview, model image and size guide to see how the proportions and scale will work in your space.

If you need an exact size, specialist framing or help planning a larger display, ask our workshop for advice.

The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this art print.

Where personalisation is available, you can add a short title or dedication, or one considered visual detail. See examples of personalised artwork.

Choose Original to retain the colour and character of the source artwork, or Aged for a warmer, more antique appearance. See examples of our Aged artwork.

Every piece is produced to archival standards using fade-resistant pigment inks on acid-free matte art paper. Choose an art print, framed art print or framed canvas using the finish options above.

Framed art prints use crystal-clear optical acrylic for excellent clarity, lower weight and safer delivery than glass. Each piece arrives professionally framed and ready to hang.

Selected artworks can be produced at statement sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). Custom sizing and specialist framing are also available. If the exact option you need is not listed, contact our workshop.

This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Most orders are made locally and delivered in around 2–3 working days, depending on the product, size and destination.

Personalised and customised pieces usually take an extra 1–2 working days, because we prepare your design and send it to you for approval before printing.

Very large framed orders can take a little longer, as they need extra care in production and delivery.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.

We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.

Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.

Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.

All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.

If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.

Parla di quest'opera con il nostro team Trade & Projects

Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.

Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.

Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.

Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.

Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.

Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
