Reginald Marsh diary, 1912
Creator: Reginald Marsh
MAY 27, 1912
Though Reginald Marsh was a lifelong free-lance illustrator for the New Yorker, Esquire, and many other national magazines, he is best known for his paintings of New York nightclubs and street scenes in the 1930s and '40s. Marsh's 1912 diary, when he was 14, shows his early talent for illustration. On May 27, he sketched and described a recent track practice. The boys rigged together a high jump standard with rope and easels borrowed from Marsh's father, muralist Fred Dana Marsh. |
