MAURICE LOGAN (1886-1977)

BY RAIL ACROSS GREAT SALT LAKE / SOUTHERN PACIFIC. 1928.

23x16 inches, 58 1/2x40 3/4 cm.
Condition A-: minor flaking at edges; minor creases in margins and image; slight darkening along top edge. Paper.

By the late 1920s, Logan had begun "including a train into many of his designs. A particularly vivid image - two Overland Limiteds passing as they cross the Great Salt Lake in opposite directions - summed up the campaign and the era: It set a distinguished grouping upon the Overland's observation platform, absorbed in the drama of both the West and western railroading" (Zega p. 61). Zega fig. 78.
