Content

This collection consists of three landscape renderings for residences located at 193 Bow Lane, Indian Hills, Kentucky, and West Riverwood Road, Hopkinsville, Kentucky, as well as a landscape rendering around a pool in Austin, Indiana. The renderings were created by Carl Ray Company Landscape Nursery, established in 1928 by Carl Ray Sr. (1907–1983). William Ray (1929–2006) took over the company after his father's passing, and the renderings were part of his estate. All the renderings are originals and appear to be created using graphite and colored pencil. Two of the drawings are signed Alice Ray. See also a photo album kept by the company, which includes a photograph of 193 Bow Lane (007PC34).
