• Visit Garhmunkhtesar
  This image of Garhmunkhtesar starts in the foreground with an image of what looks to be a family in the bottom left corner of the image. There is a man, woman, and child. The man, dressed in a mid-thigh length red under-garment and draped in purple cloth, looks to the left away from the woman and child. He wears a purple turban and holds a walking stick taller than he is. The wife standing to his right is draped in red fabric that covers her whole body including her head, nothing but her face, arms, and toes are seen. In the woman's arms in a small child dressed in a pink outfit with short sleeves and a hood. The woman and child both wear blue bangles. The woman wears hers around her wrist and the child wears theirs around their ankle. Around the feet of the family are what look to be large rocks, one with a cloth laid over it, and a small brown jug sitting on the ground. In the distance, behind the family there is a steep hill. There is a long white staircase on the hill that leads to the top where a white mosque sits, nestled by a large tree in full bloom. On the long staircase leading to the mosque there are 25 people, at the very base of the stairs there are four woman walking towards the family and the top of the stairs in front of the mosque are five people. This image seems to be a depiction of locals making a trek to an area mosque of some importance. Garhmunkhtesar at the time this poster was made was a part of the Garhwal District of British India and though the image does not depict a specific mosque from the area it does give a sense of what the area may have been like when religion and social gatherings were at the center of important social activities. The artist used soft inviting colors that create a serene motif. The soft salmon sky almost makes the scene look like it could be happening at the cusp of the afternoon just as the sun begins to set. These soft colors and the smiling faces of temple visitors create a wonderful lure for viewers.
• Come and See Netherland India
  At the very foreground of this image, that temps viewers to come see Netherland India, is a person seen from the collarbone up. Their skin is dark, and their hair is black, though most of it is hidden under an ornate red and gold headdress. The person's head is turned so the viewer can only see the profile of the left side of his face. Behind the person the image is broken into two colors. On the left side, for one third of the image the background is a deep blue. The remaining two thirds of the image is a marigold with a map of Netherland India over-layed on top of it. The map shows Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Bali, and Celebes. These islands are a light green and sit on the upper half of the marigold portion of the image. This image, though very simple in its graphic elements, does require some explanation. For example, when the poster refers to Netherland India what it is actually speaking about is Indonesia. Indonesia is the collection of smaller islands that are located in the Indian Ocean. Though the image describes them as the southern part of India, the countries shown in this image are actually located closer to Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The other part of this image that is slightly confusing is the depiction of a person in the foreground. This person seems rather masculine with their sideburns, muscular neck, strong shoulders, and deep collarbone definition. It also looks as if this person is not wearing a shirt. All of these things may lead a viewer to believe that this person is male but the headdress they are wearing would suggest otherwise. The head covering looks very similar to an Indonesian Sumatra bride crown, an ornate metal crown that brides in Sumatra would adorn on their wedding day. This graphic yet somewhat ambiguous image creates a sense of strength and fervor as well as mystery about the islands of Indonesia, drawing viewers in and causing intrigue.
• Travel to Guatemala
  A bright and colorful poster urges viewers to “Travel to Guatemala”. The main focus of the image is a graphic and caricature-esque image of a woman holding a bowl of fruit. The woman is so close in the foreground only her face, shoulder and uplifted right hand are shown. Her face is on the right side of the poster and only shows the right side of her face, the left side is out of the frame. She has tan skin, dark eyes, dark hair, a big smile and bright highlights on her cheeks, nose, forehead, and hair. The woman is wearing large, white hoop earrings that have ornate decorations. She also wears what looks like three pearl necklaces and a floral blouse with bright purples, reds, and greens. In the woman's uplifted right hand she holds a black bowl. The bowl has fruit placed inside of it covered by the graphics of different flags. There is a pineapple with the U.S. flag on it, an orange with the flag of Panama, a pear with the flag of Brazil, a banana with the flag of Chile, and other fruits and leaves that have the colors of other flags from the Americas. Underneath the hand with the bowl there is a small wooden hut with a straw roof and two palm trees to the right of it all sitting on a small section of sand. Behind the woman in the foreground there is green that represents land and then a blue mountain. Behind the mountain, which is centered on the poster, are white clouds that sit in a golden yellow sky. This image filled with bright colors, graphic landscapes, and a big grin from a local woman suggests to viewers that Guatemala is a great place to visit that allows tourists to not only experience Guatemalan culture but culture from many different countries in the Americas.
• Cattle of the Inland, Australia. Particulars in Government, Shipping in Travel Offices
  The glow of the sun glares down on the midday travel of two stock-men and their large heard of cattle across the Australian Outback. At the foreground of the image there are numerous cattle traveling towards the viewer, crossing a shallow river. The heard, as they fade into the distance, transition into a single brown mass surrounded by the vast tan dry lands. On either side of the heard of cattle that is centered on the page there are scarce pieces of foliage, dried, leafless tress and towards the front right of the image a rock mass. Towards the center of the page and to the left of the cattle heard there is a stock-man riding a horse wearing white. Directly behind this man but further back is another man riding a horse, also presumably a stock-man. In the distance away from the heard there are plateaus rising from the flatland and braking into the skyline meeting with the sliver of blue-green sky at the top of the image. This image of the cattle heard crossing the Australian Outback is a depiction of a typical cattle drive. These cattle are most likely being guided by these stock-men across the Outback to a port city along the coast, such as Melbourne, where the cattle will be corralled onto a ship and taken across the ocean to be sold. The men in the image either work at or were hired by a cattle ranch in the Outback to safely transport their cattle to the seaside.
