California: QRS Corporation (?), 1966. A collection of 5 architectural drawings, all bearing logo of "QRS Corporation", four measuring 14 1/2" x 20" and the fifth, 16" x 20". Pen and ink with watercolor and marker on textured drawing boards with taped edges. Three have drawings for different concepts for Carnation Ice Cream Fountain - Lunch, each signed Tennant in pencil . The fourth, Grist Mill Health Foods, is signed PET in pencil bottom right. The fifth, 16 x 20, is for First California Federal, pencil signed R. Carlson '66. All are Fine. Given that the Carnation Ice Cream Cafe located in Yesterland, Disneyland, is housed in a Victorian era building, and First California Federal was not incorporated as the first federal credit union in California until 1980, these are most likely student works completed for an architectural drawing class in the mid 1960s. No record of a QRS Corp. architectural firm found. As a group a striking collection of mid-century California architecture and advertising. . Drawing Board . Fine.
