  1. Hello,
    Thank you for this archive of work, I am Fred Engs grandson and it is so amazing to view his art. I would like to know where I could find the original hi-res scans/photos of his work.

  3. Hello Alex, I'm doing a bit of research on Fred and his time at Patterson & Hall, a San Francisco art studio. P&H did many Stanford football covers going back to the 20's. The style on the football covers you feature match some Stanford covers from that time. You even have one listed (1947) with not image. So my question is how to you attribute the Stanford covers to Fred? I have copies but there is no signature. Thanks Bruce

  4. Hi Bruce, I believe Fred illustrated all of the universities for Esquire magazine in 1947. He was credited in the magazine on the table of contents. I found some of the images. For some issues I did not know the name of the school so there is a question mark. I'd like to see the Stanford covers you mentioned. Best, Alex

    1. Hi Alex, Fred worked for Patterson & Hall in SF up until the early 40's when he was drafted. P&H started doing Stanford covers starting in the 20's through the 60's. When I saw your post with the football covers it was obvious to me that Fred painted them. Perhaps P&H hired him on a freelance basis to do these covers as at that time he was in NY. I don't include these in our history as I couldn't verify they were P&H, but given the connections I feel confident they they are Fred's work. I'll follow this post with a link to those images but here is a link to the other Stanford covers we did. One on our corporate site and more on my commercial illustration site. http://phcreative.com/history.html & https://www.retroillustrationart.com/gallery.html

  5. Opps, ignore Century 21 Bundesen name as I was logged into my clients account at the time. This is P&H Creative Group. Here's a link to the cover: http://phcreative.com/stanford1947.jpg

  6. Thanks for the link. By the way, the illustrations for Esquire were inside the magazine, not the covers. Also, some artists and writers were credited on the cover too. Fred's name pops up every now and then.
