PH. BURROUGHS (DATES UNKNOWN) NEW HAMPSHIRE. Circa 1935.
31 3/4x21 3/4 inches, 80 1/2x55 1/2 cm.
Condition B+: repaired tears, creases and restoration in margins and image; restored pinholes in margins. Silk-screen.
Very much in the style of WPA era posters, both stylistically and technically (it is a silk screen), this poster, published by the State Planning and Development Commission, was less-likely a tourism poster and more a come-bring-your-family-and-settle-in-New Hampshire promotion.
