Drawing

Lord Roxton

One cigar box top illustration, "Lord Roxton," that was done by the Calvert Lithographing Company of Detroit. The drawing was done in watercolor on a thin sheet of white art board. It shows a formal portrait that depicts a head and shoulders image of an older man on a red/brown background. Red and gold-colored printed text above the image reads "Lord Roxton." Small gold-colored leaves and stems with pale red flowers are shown at the lower left and right corners of the portrait. The artist's name or marks are not visible. Handwritten pencil text on the verso reads "C-2." An adjacent white adhesive label has black and white printed text reads "This Sketch is the Property of the Calvert Lithographing Co., Detroit, Mich., 'The Model Shop' and Is To Be Returned to Them Whether Accepted Or Not." Additional printed text reads "It Must Not Be Exhibited Without Our Consent To Our Competitors Nor Used In Any Way." A black ink stamp has text that reads "Art Gallery of Windsor, 6." The drawing is mounted in a tan matte board frame.
