Banana Republic Catalog #32, Summer 1987

August 22, 2012 By Robyn Adams In Uncategorized No Comments

We are now working our way through the Summer 1987 Catalog “Expatriates”. One of BR’s most memorable covers, this tightly rendered, delightful illustration by H. Craig Hannah, a Bay Area illustrator and a graduate of CCAC in Oakland. Many of the figures are instantly recognizable–Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, Pable Picasso and Josephine Baker. Livingstone the Zebra appears twice, at the chessboard and in Picasso-esque form on the sketchpad. A key to all the players is found on page 4.
