WILLIAM WILMARTH (DATES UNKNOWN) UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD / STREAMLINERS. 1949. 38x25 inches.
WILLIAM WILMARTH (DATES UNKNOWN) UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD / STREAMLINERS. 1949.
38 1/4x25 inches.
Condition A-. Paper.
Providing visualization to the idea that riding on a Union Pacific Streamliner is "like a smooth, cool breeze . . .," the artist depicts a smart, sharply-dressed young woman holding onto her hat as a gust of wind (perhaps from the speeding train itself) blows around her. From a delightful series of images that were also used as magazine advertisements (appearing in The Saturday Evening Post and elsewhere) to promote the streamlined trains in the UP fleet.
All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues and are posted below.
