1953rif. 18800Boston 1953. Tempera on paper. Initialled "R.S.W." Mounted circular label lower right. Handsome 1950s sports car design. All of our present information about this drawing comes from a label on the back of the piece which indicates that it comes from the archives of the A.J. White Motor Vehicle Research Company - designers of exotic cars in the Boston MA area. We have not discovered any further information about the A. J. White Research Company thus far nor about the artist R.S.W. of this particular drawing. There does not appear to be any connection to the great White truck manufacturer. The drawing itself is especially nice its cool red sportscar positioned diagonally between two details in blue in a way that makes it appear anxious to move. unknown books
rif. 187861970. Watercolor and pastel on illustration board. Signed "William A. Moore" Intriguing concpetual drawing for an unusual pickup truck Three views of a rather dazzling vision of a pickup truck and though the "Dodge Sportflite" was never produced the idea of making more luxurious and innovative pickup trucks has definitely caught fire since the time of this handsome drawing. This design brings the driver over the engine as in many heavier trucks giving the driver greater command of the road especially for town and city driving. The styling of the cab and cargo bed is anything but mundane with lines vents a black ribbon around the cab and two large additional brake lights that add a notes of elegance and creativity to the overall effect. "In 1956 William Moore won the General Motors Fisher Body Craftsmen' Guild National Exhibition for his car design. In 1968 he accepted a position as Head of Design for Lear in Reno Nevada. William Moore's art has been placed in.the Smithsonian and the Favell Museum of Art and Artifacts." The Museum of Automotive Art and Design website.

J White's Motor Vehicle Research Company which is said to have been a Boston based car designer of exotic cars in the 1950's this handsome prototype embodies several features that were realized later especially in recent racing cars.

1944rif. 187991944. Pencil and watercolor on drafting paper. Lower right corner of page has been skillfully replaced. Does not affect images. Handsome proposed design for a post-war Cadillac. The license plate reads "GM 1944" raising interesting questions since as everyone knows virtually no new cars were produced during the high armament production years of World War II and certainly not pretty new dark pink ones. The car portrayed here does however anticipate very much the look of early fifties' vehicles if not necessarily Cadillacs. And bright colors certainly would catch on in a way they had not before the war. Note the 1930's Cadillac emblem on the front grille which was changed when auto production actually re-commenced. unknown books

1988rif. 19896Brooklyn: Society for the Preservation of Weeksville & Bedford-Stuyvesant History 1988. Third Printing. Wraps. Stapled. Fine. With a substantial inscription by co-author Joan Maynard to Janice Quinter dated May 18 2005 which reads in part: "As I told you -- so much good information is available since this was done in 1983. The work of Dr. Judith Wellman about Weeksville is substantial and there will be a wonderful new publication A-Borning! Joan." Weeksville was a black settlement in Brooklyn and its restoration and preservation was a corrective to show an entirely neglected part of New York history and beyond that we would note a break from the past of historic preservation inasmuch as it wasn't focused on a mansion or estate ot some other place associated with the upper crust. 23 by 17.5 cm. 49 pp. Many b/w or really brown and white photos documenting both the historic Weeksville and the restoration efforts with photos of many of the people involved. Note photos were taken with both a flash and without and the latter look somewhat yellowed. In actuality the flash photos capture the paper color better -- all the leaves are quite white and fresh in appearance.
