[edit] Summary

Original theater poster for National Lampoon's Vacation.

The poster is intended to provide an illustration for a well known and significant film, and the purpose of the poster is to suggest something of the film's style. Of the various posters available this is the most appropriate, because unlike some others it is from the period of the film's initial release, and was widely distributed to promote the film.

This image is used on various websites, and has been published in several books, so use on Wikipedia does not make it significantly more accessible or visible than it already is. It does not detract from the original and is used for information purposes only.
