Francis Marshall drew for Vogue (I have a copy of his Drawing
the Female Figure around here. I’ll get around to sharing some of it
eventually). A trip to the USA yielded An
Englishman in New York, a 1949 slice-of-life.
‘Tis the season, so I’ve isolated the Christmas bits,
including a drawing or three of how Lord & Taylor’s preps for the holidays.
Writes Marshall, “Park Avenue has rows of Christmas trees down the middle, and
against the lights of the Grand Central Building the whole scene looks like the
setting of a ballet.”
