Color or Colour as I prefer to spell

The artist is Robert O. Reid, the time period the 30's. A time when Illustrators where kings, they brought art into the home and represented a sensibility for both the home life and after hours. There's not much information about Robert O. Reid, during a turbulent time in history his name disappeared sometime after the war. Robert Reid was in good company, with several contracts for advertising ads in Collier's, Cosmopolitan and Good Housekeeping. Many Illustrations during this time where printed in black and red. Such simplicity brought out amazing depth and warmth to many Illustrators work. This illustration of a woman in a black slip is no exception. I will post more illustrations by this artist in the future. Now if she was holding a glass of scotch!
