WILLIAM P. WELSH (1889-1984) TRAVEL AT REDUCED RATES TO YOUR FAVORITE SUMMER RESORT IN PULLMAN. 1935. 26 1/2x20 1/4 inches, 67 1/4x51 1/2 cm. Charles Daniel Frey Company, Chicago. Condition B+: expert overpainting in left margin; minor repaired tears, small restored losses and restoration in margins; creases, abrasions and restoration in image. The Pullman railway company's fancy carriages and fine service had become virtually synonymous with luxury travel. As opposed to highlighting their luxurious accommodations, Welsh focused on the glamorous nature of the women who traveled with Pullman, the destinations that could be reached and the leisure activities that could be engaged in upon arriving. Throughout the series the beautiful ladies are depicted as strong, independent, emancipated women relishing their leisure time. Zega fig. 137.
