A ribbon of color sweeps behind the word ALABAMA. The tall letters hold a series of views, with buildings and greenery giving the reader several points of entry into the design.

Alabama entered the Union in December 1819. The state’s first constitution was written that year, more than a century before Curt Teich issued this statewide montage in 1939.
