| J. CONDIE LAMB. Three stencil patterns for an advertising project, each on thin card, each 13 3/4" x 13 3/4", of a walking goose surrounded by sprays of leaves, consisting of a key plate (inscribed "A - Top") and two plates with details (inscribed "A - Top" and "B"), the three covered with a thin layer of blue paint, suggesting that the finished design was achieved with an airbrush; moderate overall wear, a few tape repairs effected by the designer, slight tape remains along the edges of two, the third with small skinned areas, recto. [With:] A stencil of a similar goose with spray surrounds against a lattice-work border, on thick white card, 14 3/8" x 9 3/8", the design incorporating the same "EE" motif near its base as the key plate described above; the card is broken in one place along its border. No date (1930s or 1940s). Provenance: estate of the artist. J. Condie Lamb (1900-ca.1990), American illustrator and commercial artist, professionally active in New York City, a longtime resident of East Hampton, NY. Lamb and his wife Elizabeth ("Boots") created a number of stencil- and block-printed wrapping papers at approximately this date, which were sold commercially. The white stencil described here is similar in motif and construction to that which embellished the glassed portion of the Lamb's front door at 229 Main Street, East Hampton; the house was designed by and built for Thomas Moran between 1882 and 1884, and was the first artist's studio built in the area. | ||||||
