Drawing, The National Supply Co.
This is a Drawing. It was designed by Henry Dreyfuss Associates. It is dated May 27, 1953 and we acquired it in 1993. Its medium is graphite, blue, white color pencil on tracing paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.

A number of the finished drawings correspond to prototypes or other documentation held in Cooper-Hewitt’s Dreyfuss archives, including those for RCA radio/phonograph and television consoles, and two beautiful drawings for Bell Telephone Laboratories of public phone booths.
