The name "Hudson" came from Joseph L. Hudson, a Detroit department store entrepreneur and founder of Hudson's department store, who provided the necessary capital and gave permission for the company to be named after him. A total of eight Detroit businessmen formed the company on February 20, 1909, to produce an automobile which would sell for less than US$1,000 (equivalent to approximately $26,656 in today's funds). One of the chief "car men" and organizer of the company was Roy D. Chapin, Sr., a young executive who had worked with Ransom E. Olds. (Chapin's son, Roy Jr., would later be president of Hudson-Nash descendant American Motors Corp. in the 1960s).

A place known since childhood, the city’s primary department store, decades of memories. The indescribable joy of seeing Father Christmas, neon on lights, and artificial Christmas trees, a world seen through the eyes of a little boy, surrounded by noises, smells and sensations. Tills ringing, loud voices, a food hall redolent of cheese and ham and ground roasting coffee, escalators transporting me to an enchanted world of novelty, and then to the vinegar scented dining room where salty chips and sugary, creamy trifle would be served. I loved that shop, loved it with the intensity of a close and long friendship. It was part of me, part of my childhood. I wanted to capture it in paint, to focus on a corner, to explore its texture and colou...

In a city in the centre of France I came across this beautiful old building. I was fascinated by the blue, by the faded almost metallic blue that formed the signage and shutters. By the grace of God. It seemed an odd name, filled with meaning and evoking an era before commercialization, before the street surrendered to chains and the gluttony of fast food. Around me the old city centre vibrates gently, promising old fashioned cheese shops, the glorious aroma of roasting coffee beans and the timeless peel of bells from the cathedral.A great souvenir of France, a lovely addition to any collection, and a perfect gift.
