Lot 1772: 1920s Tunis Golf Poster by Roger Broders
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Tunis golf travel poster by Broders is the quintessential golf travel poster defining another accomplished pastime of the elite, Golf. The French flag flies over the clubhouse while a local Arab girl caddies for the European swells in a subtle nod to imperialism. You see Broders' Roaring '20s Art Deco work hanging around the world to this day. Poster has restoration to the bottom border (otherwise EX-MT), measures 24x38.5" and has been mounted on linen. Note the PLM Railways logo at bottom left. PLM commissioned Broders to paint and he ran with it, becoming a travel industry institution.
