BERN HILL (1911-1977) SERVING THE COLORFUL NORTHWEST. Circa 1952. 23 3/4x18 inches, 60 1/4x45 3/4 cm. Condition B+: expertly-replaced upper left corner; expertly-replaced losses, repaired tears, creases and overpainting at edges. "The beauty of Hill's locomotive paintings is found in the way he captures the essence of each railroad. The 1950s represented a period in railroad history that found America with an abundance of regional rail lines, all featuring distinctive paint schemes. Often railroads operated only in a small geographical location and were unknown in some parts of the country" (Railroad Heritage, No. 6, 2002, p. 10).
