EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from 1935, known as the "Holiday Haunts Artwork". This original hand-drawn and painted masterpiece was created for an advertising leaflet promoting the Holiday Haunts experience. The artist behind this bold and visually striking design is believed to be none other than Verney L. Danvers, a renowned poster artist of that era. The artwork exudes a sense of excitement and adventure, capturing the essence of what Holiday Haunts had to offer during that time. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, it effortlessly transports viewers back in time to an era when holiday advertisements were true works of art. While we can only imagine how this artwork would have been utilized in its intended leaflet format, one thing is certain: it must have undoubtedly caught the attention of potential travelers seeking their next thrilling getaway. Its graphic design style hints at a bygone era when advertising relied heavily on visual impact rather than digital techniques. Preserved within the STEAM Museum's collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only Danvers' artistic talent but also serves as a reminder of how publicizing leisure activities has evolved over time. It stands as a testament to the creativity and innovation employed by artists like Danvers who played an integral role in shaping popular culture through their iconic designs.
