JOHN HELD, JR. (1889-1958) NORTHWARD / THE NEW HAVEN LINE. Circa 1930. 42 1/8x28 inches. Condition B+/B: restored bottom right corner and text; repaired tears and creases in margins. The New Haven Railroad was an essential means of transportation in New England and "at its peak in 1929, the railroad owned and operated 2,131 miles of track throughout New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island." In his classic cartoon form, Held shows golfers, flappers and others all heading "northward," much like migrating ducks, which he also presents. zEGA 81.
