Featured in this lot are Three (3) Vintage Howard Fogg Railroad Advertising Prints. Howard Lockhart Fogg (1917-1996) is often referred to as the dean of American railroad artists. He said of himself that he wasn't an artist who painted trains, but a railroader with a paintbrush, and his love of trains is reflected in his work. Many of the artists that preceded him used exaggerated colors and proportions to emphasize the power and drama of a locomotive. Fogg broke with that tradition and became known for his startling accuracy and realism. He would ensure that every detail was correct, yet his work lost none of the drama and excitement of his predecessors. As the diesel locomotives rolled out of the American Locomotive Company plant in Schenectady, New York in the 1940's, 50's and early 60's, Howard Fogg was commissioned to paint locomotive after locomotive. Of these numerous paintings, Alco had some forty-eight reproduced. Without doubt, Fogg was the outstanding artist painting trains. His capture of rolling stock as it passed through its native environment presents sheer beauty of both locomotive and background to the viewer. In these prints, Fogg focused on steam locomotives, one in the more arid Western states, the other two traverse Rocky Mountain autumn and winter landscapes. Fogg's attention to detail is on full display in each print, the majesty and imposing presence of steam locomotives underway. The prints are in nice condition, some age tanning and foxing observed. Painted wood glazed frames are in fair to good overall condition, one has split side rail. Visible art for each measures 10.5"W x 13.5"L, each frame is 13"W x 16"L x 1.25"D, combined weight is 5lb, 4oz.
