When I was in college I had a poster I really loved. It was from the Nature Company and had a dinosaur crossing a freeway. Well, over the years it got pretty beat up and I tossed it before I moved to Indiana, figuring I could easily pick up another one. No such luck.

In 1999 I posted some requests to see if anyone had one, but I was never successful in finding a copy.

The odd thing is, in the last two months I have gotten three emails out of the blue from other people looking for the same thing and asking if I'd ever found one. Today I found a picture from my dorm room freshman year and scanned it in, so now I have a low-res blurry version of the real thing. If anyone knows where I can get a copy, let me know!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS POSTER and have been trying to locate one now to replace the one I had as a child. Did you have any success?

I have this poster rolled up in a box from the Nature Company. The poster is Swiss - Reichmuth. It is called the Dino Freeway.

Hello,
I have just opened a sealed poster tube and there were alot of random posters in it. One of the ones that caught my eye was one of a dinosaur on a freeway. I was intrigued myself and looked online to find out more. That is how I found your blog. Your picture is the exact version of mine just blurry. If you are still interested I would be willing to sell it. I will keep checking this blog and see if you are still interested. I could not find how to email you and I dont want to post my email online. Hope to hear from you. Best ~ Nima

Thanks Nina. Someone actually contacted me a year or so ago and sold me his copy... apparently it's called "dinosaurier auf der autobahn" by Giuseppe Reichmuth.

Maybe someone else reading this will want a copy! Also someone posted on my Flickr page a long time ago expressing some interest:

Hope you find a buyer!

Thanks.
