Book:

Travel by Train: The American Railroad Poster, 1870-1950, by Michael E. Zega and John E. Gruber. Publisher: Indiana University Press (October 2002). From Libraey Journal: "...Five chronologically arranged chapters interweave information about the artists and how the characteristics of their commissioned designs serve the advertising purposes of the railroad lines they worked for. A large number of artists, both well known (N.C. Wyeth, John Held Jr.) and not so well known (Maurice Logan, Leslie Ragan), are included in the discussion, with reproductions of their designs."
