C&O 1957 Calendar

The only passenger content in this calendar is Chessie, C&O’s symbol of its comfortable passenger trains. In 1933, C&O paid Austrian artist Guido Gruenwald five whole dollars for the rights to use his drawing of a sleepy cat; Gruenwald died before the railroad first used it.

The illustration on this calendar was by Jack Keay (1907-1999), who was born in England but did much of his work in the U.S. That work included paperback book covers, American history, what appear to be magazine illustrations, some work with a European content, and other insufferably cute C&O calendar art.
