An eerie underwater view of two Navy Frogman divers, this gouache cover painting by Ed Lafferty appeared on the cover of the August, 1951 edition of Popular Mechanics. The scene illustrates an interior story that showcases the groundbreaking movie set design work of Louis Witte, Hollywood’s “ace authority on celluloid warfare.”

 

 

Handsomely matted and framed behind glass and ready to hang, a complete copy of the published magazine accompanies the painting.
