Manner of Frederick Gordon Crosby (1885-1943)
A pair of pen, ink and wash drawings on tinted paper, being motor racing scenes from the 1930s, both signed F. Gordon Crosby and purchased by the vendor as being by him. The first depicts three racing cars heading towards the viewer along a tree-lined road, the two nearest vehicles with indistinct pencilled names added, possibly identifying the drivers as Richard Brazier - Winner, pursued by Gordon Be....? The second drawing shows two vehicles racing away from the viewer along a muddy track, while another numbered 17 has over-heated and been forced to pull over onto the grass verge while its driver and his companion attend to the problem. Both are mounted, glazed and framed. Each 14.5 x 34.5cm. Good condition. (2)
