Artist: E. MCKNIGHT KAUFFER (1890-1954) Size: 30 1/8 x 39 3/4 in./76.5 x 101 cm Condition: A. Printer: Reference: Ref: Affiches d'Aviation, p. 158; Kauffer, p. 134 (checklist); PAI-LXXIV, 81 Key Words: Aviation; Travel; By Air, Land, or Sea; Modern American Airlines / Washington. 1948. A pleasant view of the Capitol at night, with flag-like stars raining down, enticingly announces Washington, D.C. for American Airlines. It was 1948, when "Dewey Defeats Truman" became the headline of the year—most historians still consider it to have been the greatest presidential election upset in American history. But in Kauffer's glowing scene, D.C. is a prime example of America's allure.
