An Unfolded 1960s Commercial Poster (measures 15 3/4" x 23" [40 x 58 cm]) (Learn More) Southern Pacific: Yosemite, the 1960s (or perhaps late 1950s) train railway railroad commercial poster reprint of a 1926 travel poster encouraging people to visit Yosemite National Park in California via South Pacific railways, and featuring great art of Half Dome by Maurice Logan. Note that the Southern Pacific Railroad printed posters like these from the late 1920s to the mid 1930s, and there would be more than one printing of each poster during that time. It was also not uncommon for commercial versions of the posters to be printed at a later time, as is the case with this poster from the late 1950s or 1960s. Also note that Maurice Logan was a California illustrator who lived from 1886 to 1977. He rose to prominence as an artist in the middle 1910s, and by the middle 1920s, he was one of San Francisco's best known commercial illustrators and poster designers. In the 1930s began exhibiting transparent watercolor paintings. For many years, he was an art instructor at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, and he is one of the most important California illustrators of the 20th century! Artist: Maurice Logan Important Added Info: Note that we believe this is a commercial version of this 1926 image that was created in the late 1950s or early 1960s, and surely no earlier than that. Please do not bid on it thinking that it could be from before the late 1950s because we believe it surely is not. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. There is a pair of staple holes and small staining in each blank corner with tiny paper loss in the bottom right corner. Learn More about condition grades
