T. M. JOANETHIS DARTMOUTH WINTER CARNIVAL. 1938.
33 3/8x21 7/8 inches.
Condition A-: minor repaired tears in top margin and text.
Seen dramatically from below (in a pose imitating Sascha Maurer's famous image for the New Haven Railroad), a skier in blue with a red hat and gloves is virtually exploding out of the poster: one of his brown skis is outside the frame, while the other protrudes into the text. Whether he is coming over a mogul or off a jump is unclear, but this stylized skier presents a compelling image of power and confidence.
