Nevada – Posters

If you hear Nevada, what springs to mind immediately is the famous city of Las Vegas. This metropolis is well-represented in Photowall's category of Nevada posters, but is not the only beautiful sight on offer. "The Silver State" nickname of this place dates back to the Nevada silver-rush days of the mid 1800's. At that time silver was literally shoveled off the ground in Nevada where heavy gray crusts of silver had formed on the surface of the desert over millions of years. A big silver bed could be tens of meters wide and more than a kilometer long. Logically, the territory of Nevada and surrounding states were picked clean of silver within a few decades! These "surface bonanzas" may have lasted only a few seasons, but were certainly long enough to put up saloons and little else. The rough, violent life of many western movies reached its purest state in the Nevada silver camps. If you are a fan of this history and intrigued by this state, get yourself Nevada posters to decorate your home or office with.
