Karakoram Highway Travel Poster, Himalaya Mountains

The Karakoram Highway cuts through the Himalaya in this travel poster rendered with the flat color and confident line work of mid-century design. Mountains frame the route, and the landscape is simplified rather than photographic, which is what gives travel posters their enduring appeal.

Office walls and home studies are the natural homes for this kind of poster, and it also works in an entryway or hallway where a travel theme is already underway. Hang it in a row with other mountain or highway posters to build a wandering mood across the wall.

Travelers who have driven the route, mountain enthusiasts, and anyone collecting travel posters are the audience. It suits a present marking a trip, or as the first piece in a gallery wall someone builds around journeys they want to take or remember.
