Condition B+: repaired tears and overpainting in margins, with one through lower text and image; creases, abrasions and overpainting in image.
An exceptional and early image of North America's most famous dam, in which the technical details of the structure stand out amidst the simple rendering of the surrounding mountains and the distant Lake Mead. Construction of the dam was completed in 1936 and it was known as Boulder Dam until 1947, when Congress passed a resolution renaming the dam after President Herbert Hoover. This exact image was shared by several companies, as versions exist for the New York Central Line and the Chicago and North Western Railway.
41½x27¾ inches, 105½x70½ cm.
