1939 New York Worlds Fair Art Deco Travel Poster Pennsylvania Railroad Print Perisphere Ad

Product Description

The2FunAdGuyz offer a new print of a stunning Art Deco travel poster for the 1939 New York World’s Fair featuring the Trylon and Perisphere that served as the symbols for the exhibition.

The Pennsylvania Railroad did the poster to encourage travel to the fair. From April 30th , 1939 until October 27th, 1940, the New York World’s fair was held on the site of Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Over 30 million people came to see the exhibits and, we suppose, to forget The Great Depression and avoid thinking about events that would soon turn into World War II. The fair was one of the most successful ever and featured a very futuristic look at “the World of Tomorrow”.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE: In the late 1930’s art deco was an important style. At a time of massive technical change, the style of Art Deco embraced every facet of that change. Business was no longer seen as crass and many artists designed commercial products for the first time. Furniture, houses, skyscrapers (The Empire State Building is among the best known) were all influenced by this movement. Poster art, especially commercial posters, were one of its most lasting contributions.

DESCRIPTION: If there was ever a consummate art deco poster this is it. The images of the fair’s futuristic Trylon and Perisphere are viewed from above—accentuating their futuristic design. The poster perfectly combines all of the critical elements of the Art Deco movement and uses the simplest elements to create a stunning rendering.
