| Commentary: | This is one of three Schoonover illustrations that were used as advertisements for Chauvenet Burgundy wine. A letter written on November 1, 1934 from Alice Jones at Riegel & Leffingwell, Inc., the advertising agency, says: “Recently we saw and admired your illustrations for “Roland, the Warrior”. Would you be available immediately to illustrate in this same general manner a Christmas advertisement to appear in Time Magazine for Chauvenet Burgundies.” The other two advertisements are #2069, and #2070. Number 2065 is the first number from a section of pages, covering #2065 to #2111, that are missing from Schoonover’s day books. Some of the works have been positively identified through notes found elsewhere in the day books, correspondence, or discovery of the original painting. |
