Alaska

This striking Canadian Pacific poster blends modern graphic design with Indigenous Northwest Coast–inspired imagery to promote travel to Alaska and the Yukon. A bold bird and carved mask frame a window into the northern landscape, where towering glaciers rise behind a passenger ship moving through icy waters.

The layered composition creates a sense of scale and symbolism, pairing cultural motifs with the vastness of the northern environment. Rather than depicting a single destination, the poster suggests a journey into a region defined by ice, wilderness, and mythic presence.

Created to promote Canadian Pacific’s northern routes, the artwork reflects early 20th-century travel advertising that emphasized drama, remoteness, and the allure of the far north.
