UNITED STATES LINES. Group of 6 counter-cards. Circa 1952.
Sizes vary, each approximately 19 1/2x14 inches.
Condition varies, generally A. Cardboard.
Along with the full size posters for the U.S. Lines, Beall's designs were also turned into counter-cards. Of the six images here some of them are signed by Beall, others are not, but the consistent, progressive design suggests that they were all designed by the same person. We are able to date the images because several of the counter-cards come in their original envelopes which are post-marked 1952.
