Eight Petty Things

I went back and played with the scans I had made of the Mary Petty illustrations from Goodbye Mr. Chippendale so you can see them in greater detail. If you'd like me to send you the high resolution images, pop me an e-mail. The first one and the last one are my favourites.





I like to think that the last is a Robsjohn-Gibbings precursor to the Stark Ghost Chair.

    i'd do almost anything to have a gilded sedan chair for a call to the drugstore!

    SO charming!

    Love, love, love them! I am going to experiment more in charcoals, black & white, etc.
