The Loch Ness monster is a TV guide illo and the cops and robber is from PENNY CANDY. I've never seen any Edward Gorey originals before, so thanks for sharing these! They're both great and fun pieces. glendgold and grapeape 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voord Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Artwork by Fortunino Matania The Rainhill Trials changed the future of rail travel – and so changed the world – forever. As I live in Rainhill, and admire Matania's artwork, this small illustration (image size of 5" x 7") was a must-have for my collection.Some background information on the Rainhill Trials and Stephenson's Rocket . . . "Before the growth of the railways in Britain the average person was born, lived and died within a radius of 15 miles. Within 20 years of the Trials, however, a network of railways had grown and it was possible for a working man to afford to travel from the north to London. The Rainhill Trials were the first of many such tests but they were by far the most significant and decided two important facts: the first was that the steam locomotive had sufficient possibilities to be used on railways and, secondly, the Trials showed the way in which locomotives should be developed. Thousands of people from across the country descended on Rainhill, near St.Helens, to see the very best of British engineering design compete to be the winner and claim the prize money of £500 – many thousands of pounds in today’s money. The impact of what they witnessed would be felt for many decades to come." grapeape, tth2, Yorick and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post alexgross.com Posted September 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'm lucky enough to own this piece- the front cover of Muddy Waters album "I'm Ready," by the late, great illustrator Phil Hays, from 1978. Phil was my mentor and more importantly, a great illustrator in the 60s-80s. his real heyday was the 70s, when he did several iconic pieces for Rolling Stone magazine, among others. His Eric Clapton Rolling Stone cover is one of my all time favorites. He later became chair of illustration at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA where i was lucky enough to study with him, and later teach. this piece is watercolor and gouache with some pencil on illustration board. Phil always used a stamp for his signature. lb jefferies, szav, Andahaion and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For such a famous illustrator I can’t believe how inexpensive this was. Not to mention it’s a great image.

Mycroft Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 I would not usually buy an illustration featuring text in a language other than french or english (I'm french). But that one tells its story so clearly that I had to buy it. Art by "Lobo". I'm lookin for informations about this "Lobo". grapeape and Dr. Balls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Voord Posted October 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2022 Large pencil conceptual drawing for the 1964 William Castle movie, THE NIGHT WALKER (one of my favorites) Interestingly, for the Demon at centre, the resulting movie posters added a pair of underpants for him to wear (no self-respecting demon should be seen in public without them!) and all the surrounding monster-types got censored-out of the printed poster. The artwork actually forms the basis of the movie's introductory title sequence. Mighty Hal, tth2, davidtere and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Voord Posted October 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2022 A signed original watercolour en grisaille, produced in 1902 for the magazine Graphic. It depicts, in Fortunino Matania's usual realistic and detailed style, a group of soldiers enjoying themselves in the coffee shop, although it appears more like a bar.Probably part of a feature on 'Our Troops, at Home and Abroad'. A wonderful and rare early example of this very popular artist's work.The Foot Guards Battalions on public duties in London are located in barracks conveniently close to Buckingham Palace for them to be able to reach the Palace very quickly in an emergency. In central London, a battalion is based at Wellington Barracks, Westminster, about 300 yards from Buckingham Palace between Birdcage Walk and Petty France. alxjhnsn, tth2, Yorick and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
