We are pleased to have this original pastel by the talented and prolific pin-up artist and illustrator R. Wilson Hammell. This Spanish attired, flapper girl envisioning of Joan Crawford was created either as a calendar art print for The Joseph Hoover Calendar Company or an early talkie movie era Magazine Cover. Crawford was an eager publicity hound in the early 1930's filling the void created by the elusive Garbo, who refused any publicity during the era of Crawford's ascendancy to stardom.
