Fortune revolutionized the business magazine when it first hit the newsstands after the stock market crash in February 1930. Despite its inauspicious timing, Fortune became an overnight success. The brainchild of Henry Luce, the co-publisher of Time Magazine, it was intended to be a “distinguished and de luxe publication” featuring heavy, 11 x 14” stock with lavish intaglio covers.

L'Oiseau Bleu - Train Pullman - Cassandre, A. M., 1929. 24.3'' x 39.8'' / 62 x 101 cm. Lithograph | Backed on Linen. ID# FRL25890. $6,001 to $10,000.
This poster celebrated the inaugural run of the Blue Bird Express, a high speed luxury train that "flew" between Anvers through Brussels and on to Paris. The train, owned by Wagon-Lits and utilizing Pullman luxury cars, was named for the famous play by Belgian Maurice Maeterlinck about the beauty and joy of simple things, symbolized by a blue bird. Cassandre cleverly plays upon the train's name by featuring a surrealist vision of the bird in stopped motion with a blurred backdrop of railroad…

A. M. Cassandre burst onto the Paris scene in the mid-'20s and was soon recognized as the father of a new, Machine Age poster style. His travel posters were so revolutionary that he essentially reinvented travel poster design. Strongly influenced by modern art, Cassandre's work shocked the public with its dynamic compositions, abstract geometry, new typographic styles, and tight interplay of word and image. Unlike his predecessors who portrayed travel destinations, Cassandre focused on the…

Highlands of the Hudson was one of Leslie Ragan's last posters for the New York Central Lines, the railroad for which he had produced many iconic Art Deco images. Capturing a streamliner as it was speeding up the Hudson River Highlands at dusk, it evokes a romantic and peaceful era about to be overtaken by the automobile and suburban sprawl.
