Fire Truck Headlight c. 1936

"Fire Truck Headlight," created by Florence Huston around 1936, is a detailed pen and ink drawing of a fire truck headlight. The artwork is rendered with meticulous detail, capturing the intricate structure and design of the headlight. The contrasting black ink lines against the light background create a stark and precise representation of the object, highlighting its industrial form. Huston's focus on the subject suggests an interest in the everyday objects of her time and a fascination with the details of mechanical design. The artwork's simple composition and focus on technical accuracy place it within the realm of realism, a style prevalent in the early 20th century.
