Bottler’s Wagon
c. 1937
Donald Humphrey’s 1937 design study captures the sturdy elegance of a horse-drawn bottler's wagon built for the Charles Abresch Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The main side view bursts with rich wood tones and a bold, circular company logo, while a faint pencil sketch to the right reveals the wagon's front profile, offering a complete understanding of the vehicle's construction. It serves as a beautiful blend of technical precision and artistic flair, preserving a slice of American delivery history just as motorized trucks were beginning to take over the roads.
