  
During the 1920’s, the Chicago Rapid Transit Company commissioned the city’s finest graphic designers to produce advertising posters that encouraged Chicagoans to use rapid transit for more than commuting to work. Artists such as Otto Brennemann, Norman Erickson, Arthur A. Johnson, Raymond Huelster, Urgelles and Oscar Rabe Hanson created beautiful, and sometimes dramatic, images that beckoned people to the parks, museums, universities, and other nearby locales. Many of these original posters are held in the collections of the Chicago Historical Society.
From the collection of the Chicago Historical Society, this poster first appeared in 1926 and was created by Oscar Rabe Hanson.
