TH Lewy – Commercial Artists of Frenchtown

Posted: March 10th, 2011 | No Comments »

I know a fair whack about Shanghai’s inter-war foreign ad agencies courtesy of my work on Carl Crow, by far the most famous of the old school Shanghai ad men. However, I don’t know anything about the comercial artists TH Lewy Co. I believe they were Jewish refugees from Europe and they had a very cool logo but I’m afraid I can tell you nothing else about them…so if anyone does know anything I’d love to hear from you. Of course Rue Cardinal Mercier in the former French Concession is now Maoming Road South.
