Lincoln Highway mural number 13 . . . Rock Falls, IL

Post by Jay Allen »

Telling the story of how parades and festivals increased along the Lincoln Highway . . . This sad looking carload of parade entry winners looked somber because - as I am told by experts - the film development in old cameras required holding a pose for 10 seconds or so. So smiling got wearying after a few seconds I guess . . . better to have a stone face!!

We got a real ribbon from the tropy and awards shop and Bill painted it brilliantly - a nice counter to the black and white of the photo we used.

Hope you like it . . .

As always, I designed this - Joey Marshall engineered it - and Bill Hueg did the masterful job of painting it.
