1931001253Chicago: Rock Island Lines 1931. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good Plus. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Babcock Richard Fayerweather. Chicago: Rock Island Lines no date but circa 1931. Color illustrated wraps small quarto 14 pp. plus covers. A touch of age-toning around the perimeter of the covers; internally flawless. Very good plus or better. Color art throughout by Richard Fayerweather Babcock. An unusual and quite beautiful promotional piece done by The Rock Island railroad Lines for its luxury line the Golden State Limited which toured southwest through Arizona and on to Cailfornia. Stylish and colorful artwork by Richard Fayerweather Babcock are the at the heart of this offering. Also there is a small b& w photo on each page. This piece is apparently the precursor to a later version which did not have the interior color art but did have more pages and more b&w photos circa 1936. The title is not taken from the famous hotel in Hollywood though - nor from the movie books or song of the same name. Instead there is an uncredited poem on the flyleaf a hymn to the beauty of the natural west which ends with the lines " 'Twas thus that the Garden of Allah / Became her most colorful bower" i.e. Nature's most colorful bower. Nice Americana - and railroad history - and a pretty funky piece for the collector of art ephemera as well. L61 <br/> <br/> Rock Island Lines paperback
