If you're an illustration fan and happen to be driving on Interstate 90 in southwestern South Dakota close by the Badlands, either coming from or going to the Black Hills and Mt. Rushmore, do not fail to stop in at
Wall Drug, a long-time major tourist attraction.
There, scattered along various walls in the restaurant area you will be able to spy illustration art by a number of well-known artists from the 1920s into the 1950s.
Below are some photos I took. Due to placement, lighting conditions and such, they serve as highly rough documentation. Go to Wall and see the real things.
