Signed in ink, lower right and titled in ink, lower margin * The Bond Sign, pen and ink and watercolor on cream wove paper, circa 1950. 290x225 mm; 11 Built in 1948, The Bond Sign that Freeman depicts was located between 44th and 45th Streets in Time Square. It lasted only 6 years but was one of the all-time great sign "spectaculars." Designed by Douglas Leigh, it incorporated a waterfall that was 27 feet high by 120 feet long. Two figures, a man and a woman, stood on either side of the waterfall, nude by day but clothed by lighting effect by night. The sign was surmounted by a digital clock that read "Every day 3,490 people buy at Bond." The Camel cigarette sign now sits in that spot.
