Description
DESIGNER UNKNOWN SEE BOULDER DAM / NEW YORK CENTRAL SYSTEM. Circa 1937.
40x26¼ inches, 101½x66½ cm.
Condition B+: repaired tear at top left edge, into text; creases, repaired pin holes and slight time-staining in margins; unobtrusive horizontal fold. Framed.
An exceptional and early image of North America's most famous dam, in which the technical details of the structure stand out amidst the simple rendering of the surrounding mountains and the distant Lake Mead. Construction of the dam was completed in 1936 and it was known as Boulder Dam until 1947, when Congress passed a resolution renaming the dam after President Herbert Hoover. This exact image was shared by several companies, as versions exist for the New York Central Line and the Union Pacific Railroad; for the latter, "Union Pacific Railroad 'The Boulder Dam Route'" is printed at the bottom.
