George Lane: Original Artwork for The Motor.
Four horizontal format drawings, the largest with image size approximately 7 x 10-inches, all depicting racing cars being driven at speed. Two are on board in mixed media, stamped on the back 'Motor Editorial Dept.', the largest apparently of the driver Peter Skinner in a Skinner Special, and both signed 'lane'. The other black ink drawing on board is in a near square format, and is initialled 'g. l.' In the top left-hand corner. The rather surreal image depicts a close-up of the driver in the foreground with a view of the speedometer, spanner, gear stick, steering wheel, wing mirror and his hands in the background. The last work by Lane is a pencil drawing (signed 'lane') annotated on the reverse 'Albi GP 1946 H.L. Brooke' and dated 17/7/46. All are in good condition, though a little dusty. (4)
