Iowa 195 1926 Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a faithful representation of the Iowa Highway 195 route marker as it would have appeared in 1926. The design centers around the iconic circular shield, a hallmark of Iowa's state highway signage from the early 20th century.
Visual Elements
The artwork replicates the sign's classic appearance: a crisp white background is encircled by a bold black border. Bold, black lettering provides the route identification. The simplicity of the design, with its high contrast and clear typography, ensured easy readability for drivers on the road.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design serves as a nostalgic tribute to Iowa's transportation history. It symbolizes a period of rapid development and increased mobility. The circular shape and clean lines reflect the standardization efforts of the time, striving for clarity and consistency in road signage across the state.
The IA 195 designation itself represents a specific route connecting Sioux City and Salix, now a relic of the past, preserved here for posterity. This design celebrates not just a road, but a moment in time - the era when automobiles began reshaping Iowa and the way people traveled.
