SEE TWICE AS MUCH OF THE UNITED STATES / ON SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S 4 SCENIC ROUTES. 1938.
23x15¾ inches, 58½x40 cm. Condition A-: minor creases and abrasions at corners and in image.
One in a series of posters promoting Southern Pacific's new streamlined trains. Here, the Daylight is blazing its way out of a map of the United States superimposed over a star-spangled emblem that looks like a railroad spike. In the mid-1930s, Southern Pacific's advertising manager, F.Q. Treadway, chose to illustrate "bold speed-styled profiles" on the company's posters.
