A study for a poster promoting travel by train. |
| Here Brown uses a low angle of view on the historical figures to make them loom over the train and emphasize the theme, "follow the footsteps of history's figures by train." Despite a complex work there are only three basic elements, the foreground train, the central grouping of historical figure, and in the background not a sky but a map of the United States seen on a diagonal. | |
