Close-up USA, Mid-Atlantic States Theme - Published 1976 by National Geographic
Historic Travel Poster | Companion to Mid-Atlantic Map | Large Wall Format (578 Ć 886 mm) | Premium Finishes
A beautifully composed travel poster celebrating the landscapes and heritage of the American Mid-Atlantic, published by National Geographic in October 1976 as part of the Close-up: U.S.A. series.
Created as the companion piece to the Mid-Atlantic regional map, this posterātitled āMaryland, Virginia, Delaware, West Virginia: Beckoning Land Beside Bay and Seaāāoffers a rich overview of the regionās natural beauty, historic sites, and travel experiences. From coastal shores and tidal bays to inland valleys and historic towns, it captures a region where geography and history are deeply intertwined.
This is more than a posterāitās a snapshot of 1970s travel culture, designed to inspire exploration and appreciation of place.
