BEN NASON (1915-?) CONNECTICUT / THE NEW HAVEN RAILROAD. Circa 1942.
42x27 1/2 inches, 106 3/4x70 cm.
Condition B+: replaced losses and repaired tears in margins, some into lower text; minor abrasions at edges.
With this image, Nason presents a bucolic countryside scene in an attempt to lure passengers; a snaky "S" of a river is coursing its way through green Connecticut fields, past quaint towns, farms and bridges, towards the ocean in the distance. MoMA 103.1944.
