FRED TAYLOR (1875-1963) VISIT INDIA / LAND OF SUNSHINE & COLOR. Circa 1930.
39 3/4x49 3/4 inches. Adams Bros & Shardlow Ltd., London.
Condition B+ / B: pinholes in corners; minor losses in top corners; unobtrusive vertical and horizontal folds; pencil number in lower left corner.
The hustle and bustle of daily life along the Ganges River, including both architectural marvels and a throng of people, depicted in a cut-out style. Much like the work of Tom Purvis, who also designed posters for travel to India, Taylor here employs expanses of color to delineate details.
