Stop in for a cup of coffee

I finished this one tonight.

I did it as the 1933 year poster for the National Air Races.

1933 was an interesting time, WWI was a distant memory, the World had survived the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, Prohibition was just now in the past, America was recovering from the Great Depresion and WWII was far away in the future by almost another decade. It was a time of science, innovation, prosperity and fun...for as long as it lasted.

These classic movies were released that year...

King Kong
Little Women
The Invisible Man
Oliver Twist
State Fair
Duck Soup
And the first ever Popeye cartoons

It was also the year of the Chicago World’s Fair.

Anyway, here is the image I created, best viewed with the historical context in mind...

And just in case you are interested, here is what the actual, 1933 poster looked like...
