11/ ART IMITATES ART

11/ American Crayon Company’s water colors were often packaged in metal tins illustrated by well-known children’s artists of the day and taken from scenes from classic stories such as The Pied Piper and Old King Cole. My favorite is impressionist sea scape lower right. The high quality packaging was meant to inspire young artists with their covers. This and other stories from my book Color Capital of the World available here https://blogs.uakron.edu/.../color-capital-of-the-world/ or from your local independent book store and of course Amazon and B&N.
