The poster was folded once vertically and once horizontally and there is some fine surface paper loss along the fold lines; the colors of this poster are as strong as the day when it was printed and the poster should display beautifully once framed.
A beautiful piece of Chicago-area railway art. Johnson's illustration of an ivy-covered Gothic building on the Lake Forest College campus in the warm light of early evening, has the quality of a fine woodblock print.
Scarce North Shore Line material with strong local appeal for collectors of Chicago railway art and North Shore history, and a natural fit for anyone with a connection to Lake Forest or the college.
