Steerwood_deAuto_Jubilee

Special artwork for the 1928 Jubilee magazine of "De Auto" to celebrate the twenty-fifth year of this magazine published by the KNAC, the Royal Dutch Automobile Club

published on November 1, 1928

Note that the girl is reading "De Auto" and that her car is left hand drive. Enough reasons to believe that Steerwood made this watercolours especially for "De Auto"

The Mystery Calendar

Steerwood_calendar_1

This one is something of a mystery. It's a calendar published by Morris Motors in the 1930s, but I don't know if the young lady on the cover is painted by Fred Steerwood. But she's certainly holding a copy of the "Morris Owner" with a cover that was painted by him.Steerwood_calendar_2
