The Old #Saltair

The Old Saltair
by
James Forest Olson

Farewell to My Lady - The Old Saltair, Still a Beauty in her last days



Shown is a signed and numbered, (cherry) framed 25.5"x15.5" print No. 146/300 of my painting, "Farewell to My Lady", of the old Saltair dance hall just before its final, complete demise by fire in 1967.  The roller coaster "Giant Racer" and all other rides and shops were gone at this time.
         (The bowed frame is from an aberration of the camera lens)


A great tourist attraction, it was built on pilings over the Great Salt Lake.  Beautifully and delicately lit at night, it was also called "the Lady of the Lake".

A few unframed, S/N limited edition prints are still available,

You may purchase this print for just $150.00+delivery, if applicable.

A late note: I will be moving Late Sept. These prints may not be available thereafter.

Below is a 5"x8" image of the same painting, available in quantities of 5 for $10.00 + shipping.  Packages of 20 are $35.00 ea.

This was the first pavilion, which was destroyed by fire also in 1925
My grandfather, Isaac Maxwell worked in both.
