A powerful Art Deco image of one of the last century's most famous American trains. In the 1930s, technology began to reflect the sleek, aerodynamic lines of the Art Deco movement, and the New 20th Century Limited, designed by Henry Dreyfuss, was the pride of the New York Central Line. This image has been featured by the United States Postal Service on a series of stamps commemorating the 1930s and is among the most prominent American Art Deco posters ever designed.
