            • Original Vintage Santa Fe Railway Poster - Dude Ranches by Hernando Villa 1949
              Jun. 20, 2024

              Original Vintage Santa Fe Railway Poster - Dude Ranches by Hernando Villa 1949

              Est: $1,000 - $1,500

              This poster was designed in 1931 by Hernando Gonzalo Villa (1881-1952) for Santa Fe Railway. The image shows a typical cowboy from a Dude Ranch in the Southwest talking with a woman. The woman clearly is not from around there, she is wearing modern clothing and complements. With Santa Fe everyone could travel to the Southwest and meet real cowboys. Santa Fe Railway was founded in 1859. The company helped settle the mid-west in the later part of the 19th Century by selling real estate and farm land sanctioned by Congress. They became the second transcontinental railway to exist and expanded further with north-south routes in California. Santa Fe had a robust freight business and expanded its transportation reach with a bussing system. The company was featured in a 1945 song, "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" sung by Judy Garland for the film "The Harvey Girls." In 1996, the railway merged with the Burlington Northern Railway to form the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway. Hernando G. Villa was born in Los Angeles and studied art in School of Art & Design locally. Villa travelled to Europe to continue his studies and after moved back to Los Angeles where he opened his own studio. He created illustrations for many magazines and advertisement for Santa Fe for over 40 years. He designed for Santa Fe Railway the famous Chief emblem. Villa liked to work in oil, watercolor, pastel, and charcoal. His most frequent subjects were Native Americans, Mexican vaqueros, California missions, and coastal views. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster has been archivally backed onto linen and is in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.

Here, Villa uses the same strong, naturalistic style to depict two well-muscled Native American archers in the moment of follow-through. The tom-tom beater is there to amplify the momentum.

              HERNANDO GONZALLO VILLA (1881-1952) "The Chief: Fastest Train to Chicago, Kansas City." Poster maquette, study for the Amtrak poster of the same title, circa 1945. Mixed media including gouache, tempera, and glaze, on board. 39 1/2x29 1/2 inches; 1000x750 mm; framed. Signed "Hernando G. Villa" lower left. The recto shows reworking in the text area. While this image displays the title text, the printed version of the poster read "The Chief is still Chief - fastest and only extra fare train to Southern California." It was not uncommon for artists to repaint the text on the original artwork to suit the client's various ad campaign materials. "The Chief" express train ran from Chicago to Los Angeles on the Santa Fe line. "Villa treated Native Americans with a respect that approached reverence and sought to dispel the stereotypical attitude that they all looked alike."

              Est: $900 - $1,400

              This poster was designed in 1931 by Hernando Gonzalo Villa (1881-1952) for Santa Fe Railway. The image shows a typical cowboy from a Dude Ranch in the Southwest talking with a woman. The woman clearly is not from around there, she is wearing modern clothing and complements. With Santa Fe everyone could travel to the Southwest and meet real cowboys. Santa Fe Railway was founded in 1859. The company helped settle the mid-west in the later part of the 19th Century by selling real estate and farm land sanctioned by Congress. They became the second transcontinental railway to exist and expanded further with north-south routes in California. Santa Fe had a robust freight business and expanded its transportation reach with a bussing system. The company was featured in a 1945 song, "On the Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe" sung by Judy Garland for the film "The Harvey Girls." In 1996, the railway merged with the Burlington Northern Railway to form the Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway. Hernando G. Villa was born in Los Angeles and studied art in School of Art & Design locally. Villa travelled to Europe to continue his studies and after moved back to Los Angeles where he opened his own studio. He created illustrations for many magazines and advertisement for Santa Fe for over 40 years. He designed for Santa Fe Railway the famous Chief emblem. Villa liked to work in oil, watercolor, pastel, and charcoal. His most frequent subjects were Native Americans, Mexican vaqueros, California missions, and coastal views. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster has been archivally backed onto linen and is in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.
