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"

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.
