Ohio Guide Collection
Description: This art deco style illustration for "Springfield" was one of the illustrations designed for The Ohio Guide. It features a frontiersman wearing a coonskin cap. It is most likely either James Demint, a Kentuckian who built a small settlement in what is now Springfield, or Simon Kenton, also from Kentucky, who named the village. In the background is the Crowell-Collier Publishing Company Plant, the Clark County Courthouse and St. Raphael Church. A signature of the artist "Homer Seay" can also be seen. It is very similar to chapter heading that was used for Springfield in The Ohio Guide. View on Ohio Memory.
