Lowell Hess

The following is excerpted from lowellhess.com:

Lowell Hess's art career has spanned 6 decades.  After serving in World War II as a lieutenant in the US Army, this Oklahoma native attended the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY.  He subsequently worked as an illustrator in the heyday of magazine illustrations.  His works were featured in many publications, including Collier's and Boy's Life.  He also illustrated numerous book series including Golden Books.

Demonstrating the versatility of his craft, Lowell went on to design and illustrate pop-up greeting cards for Graphics 3, Inc.   These cards incorporated a unique design feature that Lowell pioneered using rubber bands as the pop-up mechanism.  Lowell and Graphics 3, Inc., have produced greeting cards for more than 25 years.  In the 1990's, Lowell undertook yet another creative endeavor.  He began creating whimsical wood-carvings, continuing his humorous vision in a new medium.

 Lowell's design and handiwork extended to his creating reproductions of colonial furniture for his 1672-built New England saltbox home.

Map on Temperance. Designed by W. Murrell. The Reform Cruiser Author of the Cruise of Columbia & c.

This allegorical broadside map, designed by William Meacham Murrell, uses nautical metaphors to contrast the dangers of alcohol with the benefits of sobriety, depicting an "Ocean of Life" flanked by two continents. The western continent features negative realms such as Sickness Province and Dishonesty Kingdom, while the eastern continent showcases positive areas like Repentance Kingdom and Friendship Regions. Central to the map are the Alcohol Islands, each named after a type of drink, such as Whiskey Island and Wine Island.

Flags of the British Mercantile Marine [Cover Title]

Flags of the British Mercantile Marine [Cover Title]

Flags of the British Mercantile Marine published by The Journal of Commerce and Shipping Telegraph in Liverpool represents an unusual and captivating snapshot of maritime identity in the British Isles. Its departure from traditional flag charts, which typically focus on international flags, is immediately apparent as it places significant emphasis on the flags of British merchant companies. The chart includes only a few international flags in the lower right corner, with the Weimar Republic's German merchant flag helping date the chart to between 1919 and 1933.
