An idyllic historical portrait of America, depicting hunters in the Blue Hills of Kentucky (actually resplendent in autumn oranges, yellows, reds and greens), giving them a Lewis and Clark appeal. In contrast to the Colonial-era scene depicted, the poster proclaims that "Modern Kentucky is served by the Pennsylvania Railroad." Pennsylvania Railroad Patriotic Posters, No. 2, Furness vol 8, 271.
