About the Item
This original vintage poster by Don Perceval was created to promote travel to Arizona on the Santa Fe Railway. Dominated by towering saguaro cacti and sunlit red rock cliffs, the composition captures the dramatic beauty of the Southwest. Two cowboys on horseback ride through the desert landscape, adding a romantic nod to Arizona’s frontier heritage. The bold title "Arizona" and Santa Fe Railway emblem complete the striking design.
This rich design was part of a group of posters commissioned by the Santa Fe Railway to promote travel to the west. The Santa Fe Railway was founded in 1859. The company helped settle the mid-west in the later part of the 19th Century by selling real estate and farmland sanctioned by Congress. They became the second transcontinental railway to exist and expanded further with north-south routes in California. Santa Fe had a robust freight business and expanded its transportation reach with a bussing system. The company was featured in a 1945 song, "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" sung by Judy Garland for the film "The Harvey Girls." In 1996, the railway merged with the Burlington Northern Railway to form the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway.
Don Perceval (1908–1979) was a British-born American artist celebrated for his vivid interpretations of the American West. Educated at the Chouinard Art Institute, he brought painterly depth and authenticity to his commercial work. His posters for the Santa Fe Railway are prized for their bold use of color, graphic precision, and evocative depictions of Western landscapes.
