This vintage 1941 poster is an iconic piece of advertising from the Chicago and North Western Line, promoting summer trips to the Sun Valley resort in Idaho. The artwork is attributed to brothers William and Kenneth Willmarth, artists who worked extensively for the Union Pacific Railroad, the founder of Sun Valley.

The poster highlights ice skating as a summer activity, a unique attraction of Sun Valley at the time, and features a skater in a dynamic pose on an outdoor ice rink, with the Sun Valley Lodge and surrounding hills in the background.

It is a classic example of the “Golden Age” of travel illustration, characterized by vibrant colors and a design that evokes energy and leisure. The Sun Valley resort was opened in 1936 by the Union Pacific Railroad to boost rail tourism, quickly becoming a popular destination for Hollywood elite and winter and summer sports enthusiasts.

Contributor: William and Kenneth Willmarth
