Discover this rare and stunning piece of history - an original vintage poster published by for the New York Central Lines, designed by Anthony Hansen to highlight the awe-inspiring Palisades of The Hudson.

Anthony Hansen (1889 - 1960) was an American poster artist best known for his contributions to art and advertising posters in the early 20th century. He was particularly active in the 1920s and 1930s. Hansen specialized in creating posters for railroad companies, including the famous New York Central Lines, and his style was typically characterized by detailed, evocative landscapes and figures that captured both the natural beauty and functional aspects of the transportation he promoted.

The artwork captures a dramatic cliff rising above the deep blue Hudson River, with two sailboats and a tugboat gliding smoothly across the water. In the foreground, a woman dressed in a vibrant red outfit sits by the river, mesmerized by the breathtaking view. To the right, a charming red-roofed cottage blends seamlessly into the landscape, completing this picturesque moment.

The Palisades, a stunning natural wonder just north of New York City, are among the most impressive geological formations in the region, creating a dramatic gorge along the river that stretches toward the famous George Washington Bridge.
