There is a surprising amount of graphic joy in these Milwaukee transit passes from the 1940s-60s. They were featured in the last issue of ghostsign guru Sam Roberts' excellent BLAG magazine and can be examined in more detail at the Letterform Archive.

I am very impressed by the work of illustrator Nick Tankard whose work I saw for the first time today. These are pen and ink drawings, but seem to me to be in the great tradition of urban American woodcuts (even though he’s from Bradford).
