HENRY GEORGE GAWTHORN (1879-1941) VISIT INDIA / A STREET BY MOONLIGHT. Circa 1925.
39 1/2x25 inches, 100x63 1/2 cm. Adam Bros & Shardlow, Ltd., London.
Condition B+: repaired tears and creases in margins and image.
In many of his finest posters, Gawthorn employed his signature, stylized graphic ability, to depict the privileged classes engaging in their exclusive and elegant pastimes. However, unlike his posters promoting golfing, seaside resorts or hunting wild boar in India on elephant-back, this image is an exotic evening street scene, executed using flat colors in a manner reminiscent of Hohlwein and Fred Taylor. Voyage p. 129.
