During the 1930s and 1940s, General Electric published calendars with artwork advertising the wide variety of their products. They made electrical products ranging from lightbulbs to radios to diesel electric locomotives to electric turbines for warships. This print was cut from a GE calendar and is titled "From the Television Studio Electronic Tubes Send Both Sound and Picture to our Homes"by Walter L. Greene.
Walter L. Greene (1870-1956)was a GE employee for 37 years, eventually heading its Art Department in 1903. He was asked to paint a series for the GE calendars, and also designed calendar backs and posters for the New York Central Lines railroad.
The print measures approximately 16” x 17” in overall size and the image size is 10 13/16” x 13 1/2”.It is in fair condition with excellent color. Moisture damage in the upper left corner caused damage in the upper left corner. Please use the included photos as a condition guide.
If purchasing more than one print, I am happy to combine shipping when possible.This print will be shipped in a shipping tube.
