Walt G Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Dave The images are of the era were in the 1929 Chicago Salon souvenir program advertising Briggs and LeBaron coach work. I can do that kind of artwork - it is regular and opaque water color. That was what 90% of the artists doing renderings and illustrations in the pre WWII era used . They would brush it on or use an air brush for some fade away highlights. Roland Stickney did a lot of the art work for the deluxe sales catalogs for a number of manufacturers and custom body builders. Artists then were like automotive photographers of the same era, once a company was pleased with their efforts and production they had non stop commissions to do. I have an original Stickney water color used in the 1927 Lincoln custom portfolio of the Coaching Brougham ( car still exists in the Harrah collection looks like a 19th century coach) by Judkins. To study the artwork ( which is about 1 foot high by about 2 feet wide on illustration board) is amazing - even the pin stripe is there and Stickney had to use a 2 hair brush to get the detail in. Makes my eyes hurt just to think of that. Sorry to run on ( as usual - information overload) in my response but it gives all of you an idea of the time and effort it took - no photo shop , button pressing then ( and if photos were made then it was on glass plate negatives that were 8 x 10 inches !).

Walt G Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Thank you Craig for starting this thread/post. I am about toast from doing research all day and looking at all the programs issued for the custom body salons held in Chicago, and NY. Still have San Francisco and Los Angeles to go. All for two stories to appear in Crankshaft magazine this year some time. Hard to focus on what I am looking for when I see just so much stuff that has not been seen nor written/or ever commented about but is just SO INTERESTING. So to end today as I started with a few period images - here is one for the people who enjoy Knight engined cars ( no it isn't a Brunn bodied car A.J. but pretty cool anyway and there is one or two in Louisiana) and I will slither away now until I can be here again and leave you with an image of some seat cushions. Both images from the 1928 Chicago salon program. 🙄 More odd images to come for 2022 !!!!!!!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfudd Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Interesting rhyming word play in the French ad that doesn't work in English because it doesn't rhyme. "La marque que l'on remarque" means "The make that people notice". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The various models are all illustrated using the same watercolor technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
