MAURICE LOGAN (1886-1977)

WEST COAST OF MEXICO ROUTE / SOUTHERN PACIFIC. Circa 1927.

Condition B+: staple holes along left edge; water stain in upper right text; pencil markings and slight smudging in right corners; minor creases and abrasions in margins and image. Paper.

A variation of this image also appears on the cover of a 1927 Southern Pacific brochure which bills Mexico as "A fascinating 'foreign' country just across the border." It promotes the fact that, "Southern Pacific of Mexico has just completed connection of its lines between Tepic and Guadlajara, opening a route of great importance for commerce and travel from the United States, via Tucson and Nogales, Arizona, through to Mexico City and the interior of Mexico." Rare. We could locate only one other copy at auction.
