Color illustrated poster (40" x 30") after the painting by Gustav Wilhelm Krollman, with his name and "Cascade Mountains, State of Washington, U.S.A. Northern Pacific Railway" in print. This striking vintage travel poster shows a view of Mount Saint Helens with its reflection in Spirit Lake, many years before its dramatic eruption in 1980. Starting in the late 1920s, Austrian-born artist and commercial illustrator Gustav Krollman produced a series of scenic paintings for the Northern Pacific. This view of Spirit Lake and Mt. St. Helens was one of the few that did not have a locomotive in it. Colorful original mounted poster with a tiny pinhole in each corner else in fine condition. Suitable for framing.
