Vernon Howe Bailey's Sketchbook of St. Louis (1916)

As the scene of what Vernon Howe Bailey considers the greatest achievement of his career, St. Louis has been pictured in motion picture drawings with unusual care by this artist. During the exposition there Bailey, then a newspaper artist, received a commission to produce drawings for 22 full pages within three days. With hardly any sleep in the 72 hours he was able to deliver the drawings of the exposition on time. This stands as one of the greatest achievements in newspaper art work. In picturing this city for the screen he has handled a topic with which he is thoroughly familiar. Not the least feature is his reproductions of those quaint sections of the city which have furnished settings for scores of novels since Civil war times.
