La Colegiata Toro (Romanesque Santa Maria la Mayor/Zamora province Spain)
By John Taylor Arms
Located in New Orleans, LA
John Taylor Arms created this superb architectural image of La Colegiata in 1935 in an edition of 153. It is #12 in his Spanish Churches series and is referenced as Fletcher #284.
One of the most characteristic examples of transitional Romanesque architecture in Spain, the church of Santa María la Mayor is inspired by the Cathedral of Zamora, in turn inspired by the Old Cathedral of Salamanca. The tower-dome is usually listed as one of the four most typical in León together with those in the cathedrals of Salamanca, Plasencia and Zamora.
The church was begun around 1170, and was finished in the mid-13th century. Two different directors of the work have been identified, according to the different types of stone used (limestone in the old sections, sandstone in the most recent ones), and by the barrel vaults...

Original Pan American Mexico vintage travel poster
By Edward McKnight Kauffer
Located in Spokane, WA

Linen-backed, ready to frame. In very fine to excellent condition. No restoration, flaws, stains, or fading.
Edward McKnight Kauffer was an American artist who became renowned for his work as a graphic designer and poster artist, particularly during the early 20th century. While he was born in the United States in 1890, he spent much of his career working in Europe, particularly in London, where he moved in 1914 and eventually settled.
Kauffer's style was highly innovative for its time, blending Cubism, Futurism, and abstraction elements into his designs. He was known for his bold use of color, geometric shapes, and dynamic compositions, which made his work highly distinctive and influential.
Kauffer made significant contributions to poster art, particularly through his commissions for various companies and organizations. One notable client was Pan American Airways, for whom he created a series of iconic posters promoting air travel and the destinations served by the airline.
The Pan Am to Mexico poster is a striking example of Kauffer's modernist style, characterized by bold colors, geometric shapes, and simplified forms. In this particular piece, Kauffer employed vibrant hues and abstract imagery to capture the allure and excitement of air travel to Mexico.
During the 1940s, Pan American Airways, commonly known as Pan Am, was at the forefront of international air travel, significantly shaping the global aviation industry. Here are some key aspects of Pan Am's operations and influence during that period:
