EDWARD M. EGGLESTON ATLANTIC CITY / AMERICA'S GREAT SEASHORE RESORT. Circa 1935.
401/4x251/4 inches. O. Co., Clifton, NJ.
Condition A-: minor creases in text at bottom.
Eggleston, who created posters for the Pennsylvania Railroad, designed at least three posters specifically for travel to Atlantic City. The others promote the New Jersey seaside city as America's "All Year Resort." This one is the most detailed and near photo-like, showing many of the buildings along the boardwalk as well as the activity on the beach.
