Inbound Train (Brown): CTA Series #1
Oh Chicago: the windy city, the city of big shoulders, the second city is always first in my heart. How do I love thee?
The hot dogs and the bike paths! The blues and the theater, the optimism, the casserole-heavy potlucks! The bootleggery, meat-packery, Great Fire-y historical charm! Olmstead and Obama! Oprah and International Mr. Leather! But more than that, Chicago, I love that charmingly flat inflection that greets me every time I wait for the train:
"ATTENTION CUSTOMERS: AN INBOUND TRAIN, TOWARD THE LOOP, WILL BE ARRIVING SHORTLY."
Joy! Rapture! Public transit!
This 8.5" x 11" brown-and-white-on-brown poster was lovingly letterpress printed on a Vandercook SP15, featuring an original hand-carved linoleum illustration and hand-set antique wood type on French cover stock paper.
