Description

Due to their size, the Museum doesn’t have many examples of billboards as signage. At just 18.5in high and about 39in wide, this model that once represented a plan for a larger structure now represents the skill of outdoor advertisers at the Museum. The model roughly dates to the 1930s or 40s based on the lattice work at the base.
