BEN NASON (1915-?) MARTHAS VINEYARD / THE NEW HAVEN RAILROAD. Circa 1941. 42x27 1/2 inches, 106 3/4x70 cm. Condition B+: replaced losses and restoration in top and upper right margins; minor restoration at edges. Here, the simple images of brightly colored, gingerbread-style houses and small waterfront fishing shacks do much to promote the island as an ideal family vacation spot. The railroad delivered passengers to Woods Hole, where a ferry transported the travelers to the island itself. The enormous figurehead that bisects the image is a romanticized reminder of the whaling ships that populated the island's history. MoMA 104.1944.
