The NP was merged into Burlington Northern in 1970, which is today's BNSF Railway, headquartered in Ft. Worth, Texas. Given the date, the demise of the NP, I doubt there are any applicable copyright restrictions.

The president of my company retired and is starting her own consultancy. The key message of her job in her former role and current one is health & safety training (on the road to zero workplace injuries) in the manufacturing sector here in Canada. Would it be possible for her to use this in her promotional material (business card and powerpoint, maybe brochure)? I am her graphic designer and would like to go about this ethically. Thank you, Marie : ) How does one go about obtaining the rights to use this image? The president of my company retired and is starting her own consultancy.

As far as I'm able to find out it is from the late 1930s, very early-pre war, 1940s. I picked it up years ago at the fable Fairlook Antiques that Cliffe has spoken of. It gives Seattle that glamorous deco look we've always deserved, but never quite pulled off! It's part of a series of post cards that the Northern Pacific, the rail company that was based out of Union Station? I believe there are similarly glamorous cards of the other main cities on their routes? I've got a couple other pre-war postcards of local businesses taht had a deco look. I'll dig them out at some point and send some to you Cliffe. It is a super cool card. As far as I’m able to find out it is from the late 1930s, very early-pre war, 1940s.
