| SOUTHWESTERN DUDE RANCHES This poster was designed in 1931 by Hernando Gonzalo Villa (1881-1952) for Santa Fe Railway. The image shows a typical cowboy from a Dude Ranch in the Southwest talking with a woman. The woman clearly is not from around there, she is wearing modern clothing and complements. With Santa Fe everyone could travel to the Southwest and meet real cowboys. Santa Fe Railway was founded in 1859. The company helped settle the mid-west in the later part of the 19th Century by selling real estate and farm land sanctioned by Congress. They became the second transcontinental railway to exist and expanded further with north-south routes in California. Santa Fe had a robust freight business and expanded its transportation reach with a bussing system. The company was featured in a 1945 song, “On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe” sung by Judy Garland for the film “The Harvey Girls.” In 1996, the railway merged with the Burlington Northern Railway to form the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway. Hernando G. Villa was born in Los Angeles and studied art in School of Art & Design locally. Villa travelled to Europe to continue his studies and after moved back to Los Angeles where he opened his own studio. He created illustrations for many magazines and advertisement for Santa Fe for over 40 years. He designed for Santa Fe Railway the famous Chief emblem. Villa liked to work in oil, watercolor, pastel, and charcoal. His most frequent subjects were Native Americans, Mexican vaqueros, California missions, and coastal views. It measures 18 x 24 inches {scan and informations from ebay auction} |
| Fly TWA to Chicago This iconic image of Chicago’s Miracle Mile, made in 1958, celebrates exotic locations that consumers could easily access with air travel. The unknown artist of this poster depicts the famed lion statue outside of the Art Institute, the Chicago skyline, and a twin prop commercial plane flying above. The poster was meant to be hung on the wall of a travel agency in order to entice passersby. TWA (Trans World Airlines) was formed in 1924 as Transcontinental & Western Air. The airline’s first route was New York to Los Angeles, soon followed by multiple National routes. The airline expanded to serve Europe, the Middle East and Asia after WWII when the company was under the control of Howard Hughes, owner from 1939 until 1961. Hughes was a dominant force in expanding and promoting the routes flown by his company. The economy was vastly improving, and travels through air for business and pleasure increased too. Posters were a key element to promoting this form of travel and TWA. The airline started a decline in the 1970s that ended up in a third bankruptcy that caused their acquisition by American Airlines in 2001. The airline operated in 132 destinations worldwide and had a fleet size of 190. It measures 25 x 40 inches. {scan and informations from ebay auction} |
