Aage Rasmussen, DSB. 1937.
Aage Rasmussen
1913-1975
DSB. 1937.
Condition A-: minor repaired tears, abrasions and slight darkening at edges; linen trimmed to edges.
Rasmussen was a Danish illustrator and poster designer. This poster, considered to be his best, uses the perspective created by the tracks to draw the viewer's eye to the horizon, from which a train approaches at full speed. The asymmetric typography is organized perpendicularly to the meter that shows the speed: 120 kmh. Usually overprinted in different languages with "The Danish State Railways," beneath "DSB," this is a rare version before the addition of extra text.
Metiers 1939 p. 94, Weill no. 469.
39¼x24½ inches, 99½x64¾ cm. Andreasen & Lachmann, Copenhagen.
