Hollywood in Florida Ads (1925-26)

In 1925 and 1926, Timmins illustrated eleven ads for Hollywood in Florida, a large land development project on Florida’s east coast.  The ads ran in many magazines including The American Magazine (TAM) and The Literary Digest (TLD).  They ran as one-page ads in TAM, and two-page ads in TLD.  In TAM, the first several ads were given two-color treatment.  In TLD, all ads ran in full color.  The final ad in the series was not illustrated by Timmins.  It bears the TY symbol (Young & Timmins studio) below the artist’s name.  Therefore, it stands to reason that the entire series was produced in the Young & Timmins studio.  Below are five ads from the series that ran in TAM.  For two-color ads, full-color detail from the TLD version of the ad is presented immediately below.  I cannot find any blondes in these ads!  Most likely Timmins omitted blondes to maximize contrast between hair, sand and surroundings.
