A collection of pieces of vintage paper ephemera, primarily consisting of advertising post cards related to the Lackawanna Railroad’s famous “Phoebe Snow, Road of Anthracite” campaign. The majority of the cards feature full-color, early 20th-century style illustrations of Phoebe Snow, often set within a green decorative border, and include rhyming text promoting the cleanliness of travel using Anthracite coal. Key visible text includes "Lackawanna Railroad," "Road Of Anthracite," and "WAR PORTIONS," depicting scenes of dining, travel, and domestic life, often set within railroad cars. Four items are photographic collages depicting railroad machinery, labeled "Lackawanna Railroad Pennsylvania." The visible reverses confirm the series as a "PHOEBE SNOW ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN" reprint.
