Description: "The early part of the 20th century saw a boom in American vacationing. Passenger trains were swift and affordable, air travel was coming into view, and the Model T was swiftly selling to millions of average Joes and Janes. Eager tourism bureaus invited them in with colorful travel brochures extolling the merits of their particular provinces in cheerfully hyperbolic language.".

"Packed with more than 200 color illustrations, See the USA celebrates these treasures of early modern commercial art and offers an entertaining trip back to the heyday of American road-tripping."--BOOK JACKET.
