Virginia 112 1924 (Road Sign) T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt showcases a faithful recreation of the original 1924 Virginia Route 112 road sign, a piece of early 20th-century American history and the dawn of standardized highway markings in the Commonwealth.
Artwork and Visual Elements
The design features a classic roundel, a circular sign, rendered in the style of the original porcelain enamel markers. A thick black circular border frames the design, providing a stark contrast that makes the central elements pop.
Across the top of the circle, the word "VIRGINIA" is boldly displayed in black block capitals, curved to follow the arc of the border. This placement emphasizes the state's identity and authority. Centered below, the route number "112" is boldly rendered in large black numerals, immediately conveying the specific road it represents.
Meaning and Symbolism
This design serves as a visual testament to the origins of Virginia's state highway system. It represents a specific moment in time: 1924, when the Commonwealth standardized its route markers. The round shape and simple, bold typography reflect the practical aesthetic of the era, where clear legibility was paramount.
The sign’s presence, regardless of where it's displayed, is symbolic of the growth of infrastructure and the evolving connection of communities via the burgeoning automotive industry. Wearing this design is a nod to a bygone era of American road travel and a celebration of Virginia's rich transportation history.
