Even though his work makes mine look like crap, I've decided to share some of the beautiful and odd illustrations of Norman P. Hall, with you. They come from a book titled "The Wonder Hill" by Albert Neely Hall. Yep, two talented brothers worked together to complete this excellent book which was published by Rand McNally & Company of Chicago, Illinois in 1914. I'll be randomly posting these fine illustrations under the title: From: The Wonder Hill. So hold on to your hats, stay tuned to circuswater.blogspot and get an eyeful of outstanding art work by Norman P. Hall.
I had this book when I was a child and I learned to read English by this book. I remember it saying 1914 inside of it. Somewhere in the moves my military family made that is book disappeared. What I did not forget is the joy I had in looking at the wonderful illustrations inside. I though America looked like this. I never forgot about this book and wondered if it were a fantasy of my magical youth in Germany. Thanks for posting these wonderful images of it.
