A Linenbacked Travel Poster (measures 16" x 23 1/4" [41 x 59 cm]) (Learn More) Southern Pacific: New Orleans, the circa 1929 railroad train railway travel poster encouraging people to visit New Orleans, Louisiana via South Pacific railways, and featuring great art of a woman by a New Orleans building 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. Some had dates in the bottom left corner and some did not, and the ones that did not can't easily be dated, but they are all vintage to that short time frame. This specific poster dates from 1929 or soon after. 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 Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It has a 5" crease in the lower right of the image, with some creases along that line, and a few other tiny creases in the upper and lower part of the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
