Santa Fe Railway Vintage Travel Poster, Southwestern Dude Ranches, circa 1949
Located in Colorado Springs, CO
This is a vintage travel poster for the Santa Fe Southern Railway, printed in 1949. This 20th century poster is typical of advertising at the time; it is colorfully vibrant, with simple yet strong graphics. The poster depicts a cowboy from a Dude Ranch talking with a woman traveller. The cowboy has a large hat, a smoking cigarette casually pressed between his lips, and a bright red bandana. Above them, the text “Southwestern Dude Ranches" is displayed in red rounded letters on a bright yellow field. The poster was drawn by Hernando Gonzalo Villa (1881-1952).
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 farm land sanctioned by Congress. The Santa-Fe Railway became the second transcontinental railway to exist. It also expanded rail travel further than any other line, with north-to-south routes in California. Santa Fe had a robust freight business and extended its transportation reach with a bussing system.
The Santa Fe Railway were strong advertisers, and produced many destination-driven posters to hang at airports, rail stations, billboards in large cities, and travel agencies. In 1945, the company was featured in a song titled, "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" sung by actress Judy Garland for the film "The Harvey Girls...
