This week, a look at some rarely seen ads for the Cooper studio from a trade publication called Art Director and Studio News, with accompanying text from the article graciously provided courtesy of the author and Illustration magazine editor Dan Zimmer. To read the full, fascinating story be sure to order a copy of the magazine. Part 2 of Neil's article will be appearing in Illustration #18.
