Another find by Graeme Smith, who wrote: “I’m also sending a copy of a Robert Eadie painting which, in monochrome, is in the Jubilee History of the Royal Scottish Automobile Club published in 1949. The book has the title Gang Warily. One of my expeditions to the internet in search of further material turned up this watercolour + pencil alternative version [right] of the above scenein colour. It is signed by the artist and dated 1916. A further expedition to the WWW, in early 2023, turned up another version of the RSCA picture. This one [right] is described as: "Blythswood Square, Glasgow, In Wartime, photolithograph, hand coloured" |
