Posters & Cocktails: American Travel, Part Deux

Your favorite tipsy trio is back for another edition of the enormously popular Posters & Cocktails! Grab your shakers and your luggage as we traverse the great 50 states for part two of our trip through American travel posters.

As always, our Chief Curator will be hosting Nicholas Lowry of Swann Auction Galleries and Don Spiro of The Green Fairy Society over Zoom, journeying through the United states from sea to shining sea, complete with boozy beverages and vibrant views.

Don will start our journey off right with a welcome cocktail as we take our seats. Then, our trusty conductor, Nicholas, will pull the train out from the station, highlighting popular travel destinations throughout American history. Be sure to keep your seatbelt on and your luggage stowed beneath the seat in front of you, cause it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
