Vincent HRD brochure 1936
The 1936 Vincent HRD range. A surprisingly modest brochure given the product.
It nevertheless had a beautiful and evocative cover. Why does the woman turn her head away? I'd guess not a professional model but a "volunteer" recruited on the cheap who preferred to remain anonymous.

ReplyDeleteThere's almost something Edward Hopper-ish about it isn't there! The whole brochure is surprisingly amateurish, but charming for it.
