JAN VAN DE WEG (1912-1960) HOUTRUST - DEN HAAG / "DE WEG." 1938.
34 1/4x26 inches, 87x66 cm. N.V.J. Smulders & Co., The Hague.
Condition A-: minor restoration at edges; repaired pin holes in margins and corners.
One of the many Art Deco era posters inspired by Cassandre's l'Etoile du Nord, in which the railway tracks converge into a vanishing point in the distance. It is a perfect visual conceit for this "International Road Congress," a gathering of highway and road engineers from around the world.
