From AIS Bulletin #197 April 1970 Introducing TEMPO (Georgia Hinkle, 1970) Sdlg. X-5-4 Each $25.00. 34" M. French blue self. Wilson's Colour Chart 43/3. This palest of blues is sheer poetry in motion for the perfectly arched standards touch at the tips then flow in deep waves from the darker blue midrib. Broad ruffled style arms of near white are dramatically accented by ruffled crests of the well known blue of SYMPHONY. Veining, of a deeper blue, intensifies the feeling of movement, giving a lift to the flared and deeply ruffled falls that sets the musical stage for this ballet in blue. In spite of hafts that measure 2-1/2" with center falls at 3-3/4" there is a delicacy in carriage. A cream to yellow tipped beard completes the picture of this child of DEAR BOB X EVE. HC 1966.
