Decorative Panel from Rail Car Interior c. 1936

This decorative panel, designed by Wellington Blewett circa 1936, was originally intended for the interior of a rail car. The artwork features a symmetrical arrangement of stylized floral motifs and scrolling vines, executed in a palette of warm reds and greens. This intricate design, reminiscent of Art Deco, would have been meant to enhance the passenger experience by adding a touch of elegance and refinement to the otherwise utilitarian setting of the railway car.
