The National Park Service preserves the places where even the painful chapters in America’s story were written. Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park marks the site where, on May 8, 1846, U.S. and Mexican troops clashed for the first time in the Mexican-American War. The war changed the map of North America, and while the U.S. and Mexico are allies now, the park tells the story of how things weren’t always that way. Perfect for any wall, this hand-rendered illustration is fashioned in the style of 20th-century vintage art and the iconic travel art that first promoted the national parks and national monuments. This classic design and vintage poster art by Anderson Design Group is perfect for home or office decor. It also serves as an excellent national park gift for the travel enthusiast in your life. As an original illustration, the design will look great as an unframed print, framed poster, note card, postcard, metal sign, canvas, or mini canvas. For trip-planning, fun facts, helpful resources, and important conservation information for this park and so many other beautiful national parks, check out the website for the National Park Foundation.
