DWIGHT CLARK SHEPLER (1905-1974) DARTMOUTH CARNIVAL / "SCHNEEWEISSEN." 1936. 38 1/4x24 inches, 97x61 cm. Buck Printing Co., Boston. Condition B+: replaced losses and overpainting in margins; repaired tears at edges, one into upper text; small foxing spots at edges. Announcing a performance of "Snow White," this poster differs from others in the Dartmouth series in that it doesn't depict a skier. The artist, Dwight Shepler, was becoming famous in his own right, primarily as a designer of posters advertising travel to Sun Valley, Idaho. "Until 1942, the poster contest was open to design schools . . . as well as to Dartmouth students" (Dartmouth p. 33). Dartmouth p. 36.
