EDWARD M. EGGLESTON (1883-1941) WASHINGTON / THE CITY BEAUTIFUL / PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. Circa 1935.
40x25 inches, 101 1/2x63 1/2 cm.
Condition B+ / A-: minor repaired tears, creases, abrasions and restoration in margins; minor creases and abrasions in image.
Disembarking from a train, this stylish woman can't help but to look up and smile at the sights of America's capital. A "City Beautiful" indeed, especially when pictured in a montage of images that places the White House, Supreme Court and Capitol all in the same view. While this is one of the more demure women depicted by Eggleston, his attention to architectural detail remains as sharp as ever. Eggleston p. 24.
