Other Illustrations
Just to add a bit of variety, we can show these images, produced for previous personal or non-commercial projects. The intention is to demonstrate that bespoke drawings can often be clearer than photographs, which often include unnecessary clutter. Almost anything can be drawn, no matter what you need.
Blackpool Tram 147
A true heritage piece, Blackpool Tram 147, was built in 1924 by Hurst Nelson and Co. Ltd., of Motherwell in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Originally supplied with an open upper deck, it was roofed over in 1940. In 1966, the tram was donated to the Gerald E Brookins Museum of Electric Railways in Ohio, USA. After resting in the museum for the next 35 years Tram 147 was returned to Blackpool some-time around the millennium where it was restored and returned to service on Blackpool’s streets. At the time of writing, it was once more out of service after one of its motors was donated to a sister tram. True tram aficionados might spot that the image has been reversed for aesthetic purposes.
1950s Taxi
London is famous for its black cabs dominated, since the sixties, by the FX series made by Austin. However, before the FX became dominant, other brands of taxi were available. The Beardmore Mk7 taxi was a common sight up to the end of the 1950s when it was out competed by the Austin FX by sheer force of numbers on sale. Launched in 1954, designed as a taxi from the start instead of being modified from a regular passenger car, the Beardmore Mk7 was robust and reliable. With its distinctive tall grille the Beardmore taxi became a cultural icon of the post-war period. Today it’s a real collector’s piece.
Small Motor Sailer
A motor sailer is a type of sailing boat designed for propulsion under sail with an auxiliary engine for manoeuvre in unfavourable conditions or in tight spaces. They are popular as day sailers or for short coastal trips. They usually feature a cockpit, a small cabin saloon, a galley, head and a modest number of berths. The boat in the illustration features a typical rig as might be seen on a small motor sailer with a mainsail and a jib.
de Havilland Tiger Moth
Introduced in the 1930s, the de Havilland Tiger Moth was developed as a primary trainer for the Royal Air Force serving from 1931 to the 1950s. The aircraft has served across the world in training and leisure roles with over 8000 built and some 250 still flying. Featuring the characteristic asymmetric “Gipsy Major” air intake, the Tiger Moth front fuselage is typical of de Havilland piston-engined aircraft of that era. Named after the engine that powered so many de Havilland aircraft, the air intake design is a sure indication that you are looking at a de Havilland.
