DOROTHY WAUGH (1896-1996) NATIONAL AND STATE PARKS. Circa 1934.
40x27 1/4 inches, 101 1/2x69 1/4 cm. U.S. Government Printing Office, [Washington D.C.]
Condition B+: minor repaired tears, creases and overpainting at edges; minor abrasions in lower 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.
