Story
Post-war American families in the 1960s were obsessed with 'armchair travel,' longing for the romantic vistas of Europe they saw in Technicolor films.
Maker / Origin
While the print is by O. Salvati, the frame is almost certainly the work of the Turner Manufacturing Company of Chicago.
Condition & Value
There is visible scuffing and finish loss on the outer wooden frame edges. These 'Turner-style' mirrored prints have a dedicated following among Mid-Century Modern collectors.
