DESCRIPTION: Fine original watercolor by listed artist and illustrator Hugh Laidman. The work is one of six by the artist we are selling from a series done at the 1967 South African Formula One Grand Prix race. It shows the number 7 and 14 cars on course with vast crowds of people and the grandstand in the distance. I was able to find the race lineup on wikipedia and identify the drivers as Jochen Rindt of Germany in the #7 and Sam Tingle of the UK in the #14. Laidman began his artistic career as a one of the first combat artists in the US Marine Corps. After WWII he became a well known illustrator who did dozens of covers for many major magazines and also had a popular nationally syndicated cartoon strip.

Excellent original condition. Paper is strong with vibrant colors. All of the Hugh Laidman works we are offering were well cared for and most likely stored in a portfolio for most if not all of their existence.
