This beautiful reproduction poster has been re-mastered from a 1927 advertisement for the Lake Tahoe Region, from the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. The image was painted by renowned commercial artist Maurice Logan. It shows visitors standing in a pine forest and looking across a grand vista of the Lake Tahoe region.
The vibrant colors and detail of this classic image have been painstakingly brought back to life to preserve a great piece of history.
The high-resolution image is printed on heavy archival photo paper, on a large-format, professional giclée process printer. The poster is shipped in a rigid cardboard tube, and is ready for framing.
The 13"x19" and 24”x36” formats are excellent image sizes that look great as a stand-alone piece of art, or grouped as a visual statement. These posters require no cutting, trimming, or custom framing, and a wide variety of these frames are readily available at your local craft or hobby retailer, and online.
A great vintage print for your home, shop, or business!
