EDWARD M. EGGLESTON (1883-1941) WASHINGTON / THE CITY BEAUTIFUL / PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. Circa 1935. 40 1/4x25 inches, 102x63 1/2 cm. Condition B+: repaired tears; creases, abrasions and overpainting in margins and image. Disembarking from a train, this stylish woman can't help looking up and smiling at the sights of America's capital. A "City Beautiful" indeed, especially when pictured in a montage of images which places the White House, Supreme Court and Capitol all in the same view. While this is one of the more demure women depicted by Eggleston, his attention to architectural detail remains as sharp as ever. Eggleston p. 24.
