PAUL PROEHLCHICAGO, ILLINOIS CENTRAL.
39 1/2x27 inches.
Condition B+: restoration along vertical and horizontal folds; repaired tears through left and right margins.
A stylish crescent of beach reminiscent of French travel posters; however, this beach is on Lake Michigan and in the distance the towers of Chicago's Gold Coast are visible. On the beach a spray of colorful bathers are congregating, swimming and laying out under their umbrellas. The proximity of the beach to the city is emphasized by several men wearing business suits. One of the stylish images Proehl created for the Illinois Central.
