Drawing, Design for Rolls Royce Automobile
This is a Drawing. It was designed by Roland Stickney and from the office of Henry Dreyfuss Associates. It is dated mid- 20th century and we acquired it in 1993. Its medium is brush and black and gray wash, pen and black ink, graphite on illustration board. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
This is one of a group of drawings proposed for acquisition that document work by the Dreyfuss firm during the postwar years, for clients including Royal Typewriter (1944–45), New York Central Railroad (mid-1940s), RCA (1946–55), National Supply Co. (1949–58), and Cities Service (1951–62).
A number of the finished drawings correspond to prototypes or other documentation held in Cooper-Hewitt’s Dreyfuss archives, including those for RCA radio/phonograph and television consoles, and two beautiful drawings for Bell Telephone Laboratories of public phone booths.
