Catalog No. 26 (dated 1936-7) by the eccentric gentleman artist Arthur C. Radebaugh whose advertising work was also commissioned by Coca-Cola, Dodge and Chrysler. From the late 1930s until the 1960s he was known for his futuristic air-brush illustrations on the covers of Motor, Fortune and Saturday Evening Post magazine and a weekly syndicated cartoon strip "Closer Than We Think," a humorous send-up of technology and invention. Eventually forgotten (and for many years his type of art derided) his reputation was revived in the closing years of the 20th century as the significance of his contribution to graphic illustration techniques was realised. Examples of his art can be seen here: http://www.palaceofculture.org/
