Fine Art Dept.


Here's a nice line drawing of CA&E trains at Wells St. which I just received from Jeff Brady. It's obviously based on this well-known photograph which you can see in the Johnson archives. The signature appears to be "JLL '71 Chicago"; that doesn't mean anything to me. The only local artists I've known personally are Mitch Markovitz and Cliff Reims. Identify the artist and win a prize!

  1. I have a couple of similarily styled pieces from what I am positive is the same artist.

    John something, but that's as far as I get.

    I have a couple of North Shore and 1 South Shore themed pieces, numbered and dated early 1980's.

    I also have another similarily styled print, from a late era North Shore Line calendar which I'm pretty positive is also the same artist.
