BILLINGS, Henry (1901-85) - Original Ink-and-Wash Drawing
This New York painter and illustrator created many murals for the WPA; he is known for his penchant for machinery and all things mechanical in his work. Original ink-and-wash drawing (unsigned), heavy stock 12" X 12", n.p. n.d. Near fine. Minor age toning. Illustration from his 1950 book "Diesel-Electric 4030" (New York: Viking Press), a charming scene depicting a small town railroad station tucked into a hillside (the station plaque identifies the city as Hudson, New York), a couple of idle porters sitting around with carts awaiting the next train, some buildings and overpass in the background, etc. A delightfully moody, evocative piece. Very scarce. .
