This vintage travel poster, painted by Leslie Ragan in 1941, promotes the Empire State Express, a famous American passenger train operated by the New York Central Railroad. The poster features a dramatic illustration of the train speeding towards the viewer, capturing the excitement and energy of the era's rail travel.

Leslie Ragan was known for his skillful and dynamic illustrations of trains, and this poster is no exception. The train is portrayed with a sense of motion and power, its streamlined design and gleaming exterior emphasizing its speed and modernity. The perspective chosen for the illustration, with the train coming directly at the viewer, further enhances the impression of speed and the thrill of traveling on the Empire State Express.

The typography used in the poster is bold and elegant, reflecting the sophistication of train travel during the 1940s. The colours are vivid, with the deep blue sky contrasting against the bright red and silver of the train, drawing the viewer's eye and making the poster a striking piece of art.
