About this poster
Hot Springs tells a different side of the American parks story, more civic and full of history. The cream facade of the bathhouses, topped with red roofs, rises behind a branch of magnolia in full bloom. The composition has the unhurried elegance of a classic spa resort. It brings back slow afternoon walks, the back roads of the South, and a nostalgia for an era when the journey itself was already the whole point of the trip.
