LESLIE RAGAN (1897-1972)


The Scenic Route to New York World's Fair / New York Central System. 1939.
Lithograph poster. 101x66 cm, 39¾x26 inches; Forbes, Boston.

An assemblage of scenic, captioned snapshots that travelers might see on a trip to New York City to visit the World's Fair, with the iconic Trylon and Perisphere prominently in the foreground. Many of the little views roughly correspond with pre-existing New York Central Line posters, while the other images were actually used on brochures published by the railroad.

New York p. 81.
