I have a pretty awesome print of a vintage poster for traveling in Malaysia that I bought at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. I think I left it at my parents' place though, since I don't have any more room on my walls.

I have one in the guest bedroom I got off ebay. It says, fittingly, "Chicago, the vacation city" with an old drawn image of the shoreline with a fab lady in a hat in the foreground. I saw it originally at the Lincoln Antique Mall (is that what its called? On Irving Park) framed for $200 and I got the same size, framed, on ebay for $90. I get tons of compliments on it too. It's here, and I think this was the same seller...

The Canadian Pacific Railway was a prolific source of this kind of art. Here's an archive.

Canadian Pacific Hotels (now Fairmont Hotels) sell many of them through their shops and online.

Some of them are so gorgeous.
