Transcription
During the early part of the 20th century, New Rochelle had a thriving art community, which was active in providing the City with excellent public art. The entrance signs to the City were designed by members of the New Rochelle Art Association who included some of the most famous illustrators of their day. Among those who designed signs were Norman Rockwell, Remington Schuyler, Fred Dana Marsh, Ralph F. Richardson, Frederic Stanley, Clare A. Briggs, Colcord Heurlin, George T. Tobin, Lawrence M. Loeb and Edward Penfield. The entrance signs designed in the early 1920s have graced the entrances to New Rochelle for over 75 years. This blueprint indicates who created each sign, where it was to be erected, and how it might be replicated, if necessary.
