I acquired it when I was employed at General Drafting, Co., Inc. and it has been hanging on my office wall(s) ever since. I've downsized for the fourth time and no longer have space for my art collection.<br />If you have any interest i can be reached at wfish14@brighthouse.com.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770160275884307357.post-90384104203671984752018-03-22T07:48:38.888-07:002018-03-22T07:48:38.888-07:00Hello Patty Sue, Did you live in Ridgefield CT?

My mother bought a beautiful watercolor of an autumn tree. Your father also did such things when not doing commercial art? Thanks!

The numbered diagram was the key to give readers an opportunity to understand the cutaway.<br /> Wood must be considered as one of the top cutaway artists of his time though I always felt his Eagle art was a bit garish, probably an editorial instruction as the rest of the comic had bright panel artwork. Maybe GH Davis (1881-1960) was better, his work appeared in the Illustrated London News for years, diminished a bit because they used a dark sepia instead of black ink. His crowning achievement was a 1936 cutaway of the Queen Mary, in colour and a huge foldout in the ILN.<br /> I don’t know how good Wood or Davis were at actual technical drawing (this applies to Soltesz, too) but maybe this didn’t matter so long as they could produce realistic art that captured the eye and imagination of readers.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453224162850551990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770160275884307357.post-3115232325963479542012-01-19T15:36:49.838-08:002012-01-19T15:36:49.838-08:00Lovely, Can't tell from the pages you show at ...Lovely, Can't tell from the pages you show at the top: how extensive was the text that accompanied, and was it keyed to parts of the pic?
