Origin of t206 art?
I am sure this is common knowledge for some, but I realized I don’t know the history of the art that was chosen for the images on the t206 cards. in my opinion they are some of the more beautiful cards ever made and pieces of art in their own right, so I’m curious how they were designed.
Many of them were obviously based off of photos, but were specific artists commissioned to do the artwork? Was it a group of specific artists that painted based on the photos and portraits available? Did each cigarette company have their own artists? I would love to get more info on the backstory. Thanks!
