Est: $1,200 - $1,500
ARTIST: SASCHA MAURER (1897-1961) SIZE: 27 5/8 x 41 3/8 in./70 x 105 cm PRINTER: Plampin Litho. DESCRIPTION: In its heyday, the New York, New Haven, & Hartford Railroad's main line sizzled with famous trains shuttling tycoons and business leaders between Boston's South Station and New York City's Grand Central Terminal. In the 1930s, the New Haven ordered a fleet of steam locomotives of the Hudson type (four lead wheels, six drivers, and four trailing wheels). These massive engines took advantage of the latest in steam technology, providing increased tractive effort and horsepower for more rapid acceleration and faster speed. Not that any of this would have mattered to this courteously overjoyed lad making his way towards the slopes, but he certainly would have appreciated the fairly instant gratification the fleet provided.

Est: $2,500 - $3,500
SASCHA MAURER (1897-1961) NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR / THRU GRAND CENTRAL GATEWAY. Circa 1939. 41 1/2x27 inches, 105 1/2x68 1/2 cm. Kelly, Nason, Inc., New York. Condition B / B-: large stain in lower left image and text; losses, extensive flaking, repaired tears and creases at edges, into image; extensive creases and abrasions in image and along vertical and horizontal folds. Mounted on old linen. A painter who emigrated from Germany, Maurer brought the European tradition of Modernist poster design to America. Although best known for his ski posters, Maurer also did a lot of poster work for both the New Haven Railroad and the Pennsylvania Railroad. For the latter, he designed two posters promoting travel to the New York World's Fair, each with a similar bird's-eye view concept of Manhattan and the famed Trylon and Perisphere. We believe this to be his only image for the New York Central Line, featuring Grand Central Terminal and the New York Central's pride, the 20th Century Limited. Rare. This same image was used as the cover lot for Swann's inaugural Rare and Important Travel Poster auction in 1999. It has only come up for sale once at auction since.

ARTIST: SASCHA MAURER (1897-1961) SIZE: 28 x 41 7/8 in./71.2 x 106.4 cm PRINTER: Litho. Co., Long Island City, NY DESCRIPTION: "In practice, the travel poster proved an elusive medium that few artists mastered. Maurer's work for the New Haven Railroad placed him among that select group. He characterized the poster as a speed medium, where first impressions were everything. 'Few colors, vivid, attention-compelling; striking, well-disposed composition, short and smashing copy.' These, he argued, 'are the attributes that make a poster successful’" (Travel by Train, xi). Indeed, this summery design transposes the coastline onto the face of the train, creating a high-contrast, high-fun incentive to visit New England. (Art Deco; Travel; Railway; American)

Est: $1,400 - $1,700
ARTIST: SASCHA MAURER (1897-1961) SIZE: 27 5/8 x 41 3/8 in./70 x 105 cm PRINTER: Plampin Litho. DESCRIPTION: In its heyday, the New York, New Haven, & Hartford Railroad's main line sizzled with famous trains shuttling tycoons and business leaders between Boston's South Station and New York City's Grand Central Terminal. In the 1930s, the New Haven ordered a fleet of steam locomotives of the Hudson type (four lead wheels, six drivers, and four trailing wheels). These massive engines took advantage of the latest in steam technology, providing increased tractive effort and horsepower for more rapid acceleration and faster speed. Not that any of this would have mattered to this courteously overjoyed lad making his way towards the slopes, but he certainly would have appreciated the fairly instant gratification the fleet provided.

ARTIST: SASCHA MAURER (1897-1961) SIZE: 21 1/4 x 37 1/4 in./54 x 94.7 cm PRINTER: DESCRIPTION: Maurer once again advertises the New York ski resort of Snowhaven with a grinning blonde hitting the slopes; she was so endearing that she was used for various wintry destinations.
