Description
TESAR (DATES UNKNOWN) RIDE THE COMET BETWEEN BOSTON AND PROVIDENCE / THE NEW HAVEN R.R. 1935.
38½x28 inches, 97¾x71 cm.
Condition B: replaced losses, repaired tears and tape stains in margins, affecting upper text; abrasions in margins and image. Mounted on thin board.
The Comet was in service for the New Haven Railroad from 1935 through 1951. Built by the Goodyear -Zeppelin Company, it was the first streamlined train to go into service in America's Northeast. The train's introduction to the New Haven fleet followed on the heels of the incredibly popular Zephyr (Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Line) and the Union Pacific's M-10000. This exceptional Modernist poster has been misattributed to Sascha Maurer, but clearly bears the signature of a different, unknown artist. Rare.
