EDWARD M. EGGLESTON WASHINGTON / THE CITY BEAUTIFUL / PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. Circa 1935. 40x25 inches. Condition A-: restoration in corners and at edges. Disembarking from a train, this stylish woman can't help looking up and smiling at America's capital all around her. A "City Beautiful" indeed, especially when pictured in a montage of images that places the White House, the Supreme Court and the Capitol in the same view. One of the more demure women in the pantheon of travel posters executed for the Pennsylvania Railroad by Eggleston, although his attention to architectural detail remains as sharp as ever.
