Stremlined trains, planes and automobiles are soaring and traversing over and through downtown Mexico City, past the Cathedral on the Zocalo and the Palacio de Bellas Artes. Traditional travel images are combined with transportation here to imply to tourists that the modern Mexican transportation system can enhance any trip. Although anonymously designed, this Mexican travel poster stands out from amongst its contemporaries as many of the others were merely images taken from paintings.
