DOROTHY WAUGH THE LURE OF THE NATIONAL PARKS. Circa 1934.
40x27 inches.
Condition A-: creases, restoration and slight time-staining in margins.
The entire series she generated, at least 8 known images, is marked by a unique treatment of typography and bold graphics. Her style of simple two and three color graphics creates strong visuals that stand out from amongst the American designs of the period. Here, stylized cowboys in blue and white are riding horseback through a green and blue park scene; lettering in white.
