Beschreibung:

A.W. BAYLIS (DATES UNKNOWN) ZIMBABWE / THE RIDDLE OF RHODESIA? 1938. 38 3/4x24 1/2 inches, 98 1/2x62 1/4 cm. Condition B+: repaired tears at top edge, into image; small tears and losses in margins; restoration over skinning in left border; creases in margins and image. Paper. Under a midnight-blue sky, an African man holds a rock from the ancient stone village of Great Zimbabwe; he quite literally touches his nation's past, as ghost-like historical figures look down on him from the surrounding stone structures. Little is known about Baylis, who designed at least four posters relating to tourism in Rhodesia.
