Texas 111 (1917) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a striking and historically significant design: a faithful reproduction of the original Texas State Highway 111 road sign as it appeared in 1917. The design embodies the very beginnings of the Texas highway system, a period of functional simplicity and nascent infrastructure development.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The artwork centers on a straightforward, rectangular sign, a stark representation of early 20th-century road signage. The design adheres strictly to the specifications of the 1917 Texas highway markers. The top line displays "TEXAS" in bold, black, block lettering. Beneath this, the number "111" is prominently displayed, also in bold, black lettering. The background of the entire design is pure white, creating a high-contrast visual that was both practical and easily visible.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a pivotal moment in Texas history – the inception of its organized highway system. It symbolizes the state's early efforts to connect its communities, facilitate trade, and enable travel across its vast landscape. The simplicity of the sign itself is a testament to the era, reflecting the practical, no-frills approach of a state just beginning to build its infrastructure. The stark black-and-white color scheme evokes a sense of historical authenticity and timelessness, representing a foundational piece of Texas identity.
