There is minor edge and corner wear and creasing; some surface scratches/abrasions; this absolutely gorgeous poster should display beautifully once framed.
A beautifully composed piece of American railroad art, this poster features an aerial view that sweeps across a patchwork Midwestern landscape; fields, farmsteads, period automobiles at a grade crossing, as the sleek red-and-silver Rocket streamliner curves through the scene below. The flat graphic style and warm palette give it an almost Grant Wood quality, and it is quintessential Bern Hill.
A deeply local piece with broad appeal; railroad collectors, Midwest Americana enthusiasts, and fans of 1940s American illustration will all find something to love here.
