Historic Travel Poster | Companion to Western New England Map | Large Wall Format (575 × 886 mm) | Premium Finishes

A beautifully composed travel poster celebrating the landscapes, heritage, and enduring character of New England. Published by National Geographic in July 1975, this piece—titled “New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut: Mountains, Seacoast, and a Living Legacy”—forms part of the iconic Close-up: U.S.A. series.

Created as the companion to the Western New England map, this poster offers a curated overview of the region’s tourist experiences, historic sites, and scenic landscapes—capturing a place where mountains, coastline, and centuries of history converge.

It’s more than a poster—it’s a portrait of a region defined by tradition, beauty, and continuity.
