SAM HYDE HARRIS (1889-1977)SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S NEW DAYLIGHT. 1937. 23x16 inches, 58x40 cm. Condition A- / B+ minor creases and abrasions in image. Paper. In the 1930s, "streamlined trains were among the most striking, visible and accessible examples of Modernism" in America (Zega p. 104). "The streamliner was perfectly suited to the poster medium; its smooth airflow profile offered the prospect of a respite from America's stylistic preoccupation with realism" (ibid). This scarce poster is an excellent example of American modernist design. Zega 141, Harris p. 103.
