WV-40 (1922) (Virginia) Road Sign T-Shirt - Design
This t-shirt features a meticulously recreated design of a West Virginia Route 40 road marker as it would have appeared in 1922. The design evokes the historical context of early state highway systems and the practical ingenuity of the era. It's a visual tribute to the road signage of yesteryear.
Artwork Details
The central element of the design is a stylized representation of the pole-mounted marker. The artwork captures the essential characteristics: two bold red horizontal bands flanking a wider white band. Within the white band, the number "40" is prominently displayed, rendered in a vintage, six-inch-high stencil-style font.
Meaning and Symbolism
The design represents a journey back in time, reflecting the simple but effective methods used to navigate West Virginia's roads a century ago. The red and white bands, combined with the bold "40," stand as a symbol of early state infrastructure and transportation progress. The even route number itself evokes north-south travel, further grounding the design in its historical context.
This design celebrates the legacy of West Virginia's roadways and the evolution of its transportation systems. It's a statement about historical awareness and the appreciation of vintage design.
