Southern Pacific Railroad and Steamship Lines Poster - Research Help
From: "Crystal M. Garcia" cgarc074@fiu.edu
... I am a research assistant at the Wolfsonian Museum in Miami, Florida. I was hoping you could help me. We have a Southern Pacific Railroad and Steamship Lines poster in our collection and we don't know when it was made.
There is an artist signature that appears to read "L. Nest" but we don't have any information about him/her either. On the bottom right is the printer, "Mühlmeister & Johler" ...
Any information you have is greatly appreciated.
