These American icons are already larger than life, but when the Virginia Historical Society presented the American Visions of Liberty and Freedom exhibition, these inspirational faces of the war effort literally loomed large over the museum’s entrance. Big Image Graphics (Richmond, VA) helped promote the exhibit with three, bright banners printed with their since-retired Vutek 5300 on backdrop material.
