1947 Pennsylvania Railroad Calendar Original -- "Working Partners"  (RI)
This is an original 1947 PRR wall calendar featuring a reproduction of a Grif Teller painting titled "Working Partners" and measuring approx. 29" x 28 5/8" and in excellent overall condition scoring a 9+ on a scale of 1 - 10. This calendar has survived 55+ years thus far! The scene is of the River Road area of Marysville, Pennsylvania. This was Grif Teller's first attempt at including a Diesel locomotive in a calendar scene. It has a complete and well preserved calendar pad, and the broadside is attached. The artwork print area is in excellent condition with only some barely perceptible creases. The tuscan red border is virtually intact with only some barely perceptible creases above and to the lower right of the artwork area. The gold border has some blotching and creases down the right margin. All of these imperfections are considered minor and will be barely perceptible, especially after professional framing and hanging over your mantle or on a wall in your den or train room. This particular calendar is in very high demand and hard to find in this condition!
