DOROTHY WAUGH (1896-1996)

NATIONAL AND STATE PARKS. Circa 1934.


40x27¼ inches, 101½x69¼ cm. U.S. Government Printing Office, [Washington D.C.]
Condition A-: minor tears at edges; creases and minor abrasions in image.

Unlike the other posters in Waugh's series for the National Parks, this bold, modernist poster differs in the manner in which it was printed. The gray areas on the geometrically rendered skier and in the image have been created using a photo-offset process. Her other posters were all created by letterpress.

Resnick 19, Crouse p. 291.
