THE SCENIC ROUTE TO NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR / NEW YORK CENTRAL SYSTEM. 1939.
41x27 1/2 inches, 104x69 3/4 cm. Forbes, Boston. Condition A / A-: expert unobtrusive repaired tears and restoration in margins.
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.
