Schwinn Artwork Out Of The Corporate Offices.

[moparrecyclers]

These 4 prints/lithographs were removed from the Schwinn Corporate Offices when they closed.
I have seen others like them just attempting to find out if there is anything special about these vs the ones in circulation.

Those are nice prints!
Before photography was common to illustrate images, other processes was used in the early catalogs at the turn of the century.
Great find!

I am interested in checking these prints out a bit further as the artist on 3 of them is Wm Mark Young and he was born in 1892 and died in 1948. He was best known for his drawings of maps and landscapes in books. I need to look a bit closer at them to find out if these are reprints or original lithographs. The current owner of these prints acquired them at the closing of the museum and offices in Chicago.

Thanks Wes, I went on map search & found an image from 2015.
When I uploaded the image, the nostalgia bug came on!
