WELSH VACATION LANDS ARE CALLING ... GO IN PULLMAN SAFETY AND COMFORT. 1936.
26 3/4x20 3/4 inches. Charles Daniel Frey, Chicago.
Condition B+: repaired tears in margins; creases in margins and image.
One in a series of advertisements Welsh designed for the Pullman Train of beautiful women engaged in leisurely activities against a geometrically-depicted natural background. Perhaps the most inspired Art Deco design of the series, here a vacationing woman is fly-fishing in a pool of patterned water, at the foot of an elegant waterfall. Fish serve as a decorative, almost tribal, element.
