American College Towns: Ames, Iowa By Douglass Cole, Joel Anderson, 2024

American college towns embody much of the nation’s history and culture. Beyond their historic significance, they are also home to the nation’s most prestigious colleges and universities. Case in point, Ames, Iowa, is best known as the home of Iowa State University, with leading agriculture, design, engineering, and veterinary medicine colleges. As students roam the central campus of Iowa State University each day, they can hear the ringing of bells from the tower, which has become a symbol of the university itself: the Campanile (pictured here). Vintage poster art provides the perfect style for depicting American travel destinations, and this original travel poster and hand-rendered art design will look great as an unframed print, framed illustration, notecard, postcard, metal sign, canvas, or mini canvas. Available in multiple size options, this whimsical travel art was fashioned in the style of 20th-century vintage art and the iconic travel art and retro art that first promoted American travel and adventure.
