Esther M. Larson, 1953 (3) - T-Shirt Design
This T-shirt design showcases a vintage fashion illustration by Esther M. Larson, a prominent American illustrator of the mid-20th century. The artwork, dated 1953 and identified with the internal reference "3," captures the elegance and sophistication characteristic of Larson's style.
Visual Elements
The central element of the design is a graceful fashion drawing, reflecting the era's emphasis on refined silhouettes and couture aesthetics. The illustration likely depicts a stylish woman adorned in designer clothing, possibly a Leslie Morris or Heatherton design, popular during the period. Larson's signature style, characterized by delicate lines and subtle shading, would be evident in the rendering of clothing and figure.
Representation and Meaning
The artwork represents the glamour and aspirational lifestyle promoted by fashion magazines and advertisements of the 1950s. The depicted figure likely embodies the ideal of feminine grace and sophistication, reflecting the cultural values of the time. The design suggests a world of high fashion and exclusive designs, capturing a moment in fashion history.
The "3" probably represents an edition number, a print number in a series, or a plate number in a portfolio of illustrations. The inclusion of this detail enhances the design's historical context, framing the artwork as a specific piece within Larson's larger body of work.
