Drawing
Cheyenne, 1955:
This stark drawing of a cowboy standing in front of a backdrop of mountainous landscape was used for the opening and end titles of Cheyenne, a Western television series starring Clint Walker that aired on the ABC network from 1955 to 1963. The drawing is on scratchboard and is etched out in white from a layer of black ink applied to the board. The cowboy is a cutout image overlaid on the scratchboard. Cheyenne, the first hour-long dramatic Western series on television, stands at the head of a long line of Warner Bros.-produced original series. |
