This fun and well-composed piece of early 1960s American travel advertising features a beach ball in cat-eye sunglasses and a straw hat sitting atop a striped towel in the sand, with the Gulf surf visible behind it. The playful multi-colored hand-lettered title and the cheerful still life give it a lighthearted, summery quality that holds up well.
Greyhound travel posters are a relatively underrepresented category compared to airline and railway material, making this an interesting find. The Gulf Coast subject and the period design give it broad regional appeal.
