He also did theater and travel posters and other illustrations. He was considered a specialist in western and marine subjects. * How Sweeney came to design hotel luggage labels. Apparently his illustrations of exotic scenes caught the eye of a manager of the Hong-Kong & Shanghai Hotels concern and he was commissioned to design labels for the several hotels of the group in Hong-Kong, Shanghai and Peking. His commission may have been received during a trip to the Orient because he did labels for a number of other Asian hotels, all datable to a short period in the late 1920s. * We know of 11 labels signed by Dan Sweeney for the following hotels: Hong-Kong Hotel; The Peak Hotel, HK; Peninsula Hotel, HK; Repulse Bay Hotel, HK; Grand Hotel des Wagons-Lits, Peking; Astor House, Shanghai; Majestic Hotel, Shanghai; Palace Hotel, Shanghai; Grand Hotel Metropole, Hanoi; Continental Palace Hotel, Saigon; and Manila Hotel. They all share the same general dimensions (9 x 14 cm), they all have the name of the hotel in a serifed type of the Times News Roman family, and they are all printed by the four-color process on a variety of papers including a granular sort that offers the best color rendition. The same illustrations used for labels were used in publicity folders, cards [the same size as labels but printed on heavier stock] and postcards. * Dan Sweeney died in 1958 but his fine labels remain. In their time they were amidst the finest on travelers' luggage and because of their appeal were widely imitated (e g: Gloucester Hotel in HK, Saigon Palace Hotel, and several others). Some of these labels may even stem from original designs by Dan Sweeney for these same hotels. * BIBLIOGRAPHY: Essay by Joao-Manuel Mimoso on his collection * m ***.
