I have found a .jpg of a Tubman poster (Underground Railroad.)  I am wondering
what the title of the work is, and who created it.

On what web page did you find this .jpg?  Do you know the address of
the page?  Do you know the address of the .jpg, or at least the name
of it (NAME.jpg)?

Howdy yeekie!

If this is the image/poster you have seen, I have found the title
and artist's name for you.

To Denco-ga

Yes, that is the poster that I found by doing a google search.  I
would still like to know the artist.  I believe the title is:  Harriet
Tubman's Underground
Railroad.


To Justaskscott-ga

I did a google search of "images" to find the poster.  The
fed.us/r9/wayne/projects/ur/project/tubman...site was listed there as
the resource.  However, I was not able to find title and artist by
clicking the links on that site.

I located this information by using Google's Image Search to find
alternate sources for the image in question. The keyphrase
"underground railroad" led me to the Collins Fine Art site, which
provided the artist's name. I then used a Google Web Search to find
other sources for prints and posters.

Google Image Search: "underground railroad"
http://images.google.com/images?q=%22underground+railroad

Google Web Search: "paul collins" + "harriet tubman"
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22paul+collins%22+%22harriet+tubman

I hope this information is helpful! If you have any questions about my
research, or if a link does not function, please request
