Set against the backdrop of a new young woman teacher convincing her young students to embrace intramural soccer and set up a league with other nearby schools fielding teams of all genders and races. The title was changed to “Shrimp’s Soccer Goal†when published by H.Z. Walck in 1970 but evidently intended by Lord & Berson to focus on the impact of young Miss Taylor’s enthusiasm for soccer her admiration of Pele after traveling to Brazil to see him play and inspire her students to learn the sport. The young “Negro†character Paul the best athlete is best friends with “Shrimp†and they both belong to neighborhood club with three others with Steve encouraging the young people to become involved in social justice causes.

193757594Portland OR: Howard Fisher The Oregon Journal ca. 1937-1947. Five original pen & ink cartoon drawings sized from 13.25 x 18.5 in. up to 14 x 19 in. executed on thick card stock w/ one embossed “Glarco No. 1†at outer fore-edge 1 w/ “Strathmore†blind stamp at upper corner all camera-ready for printer still retaining some pencil annotations & ruling at outer fore-edges of image four of the five signed at lower fore-edge one twice both with signature and the artist’s iconic beaver in checkered pants minor dustsoiling light toning to fore-edges of a couple still NF exemplars. These five exceptional original political cartoon drawings reflect not only the impact of the automobile and importance of automobile travel in the World War II-era Pacific Northwest but also offer an intriguing quick snapshot of many issues we still confront as a society today. The first shows a uniformed policeman setting on a bedstead with looming anthropomorphic license plate trying to convince a resistant driver hiding under his covers to renew his license plates. License plates at the time were issued annually with necessary fees to pay for road maintenance policing and also ensured that automobiles were drivable with many municipalities requiring safety inspections. The next two both address the public safety issues of traffic accidents and the toll on pedestrians against the backdrop that at the time few municipalities or states actually required driver’s training for licenses and in the late 1930’s and 1940’s accidents fluctuated from 75 to 125 fatalities per 100000 registered vehicles as opposed to less than 20 in the 2000’s. One shows driving tips and encouraging safer speeds while the other graphically includes a skeletal skull as a front grille at night hurtling towards a pedestrian in the rain. The fourth cartoon announces “Oregon’s tourist business will be lifted toward the $ 50000000 mark†and trees and fish all welcoming automobile travelers speeding towards the “Great Oregon Outdoors.†By the early 1940’s tourism driven by automobiles was the third largest business in the state and would further expand following World War II and later construction of the Interstate Highway system. The final cartoon touts the move to build the Sullivan Gulch Expressway which would later become the Banfield Freeway named after T. harry Banfield and I-84 with development around the Lloyd Center and other apartment housing. The site was one of the largest “Hooverville†shantytown during the Great Depression housing at one time over 300 living in 130 shanties and only really finally closed during World War II. Fisher 1890-1962 attended college in Eastern Washington later studied art at the Portland Art Museum and by 1919 had begun working as cartoonist with The Oregon Journal Newspaper where he would remain until retiring in 1956 publishing over 9300 editorial cartoons. His trademark was an impish beaver wearing one-suspender checkered trousers signed about two-thirds of his drawings with none usually dated but often dating with matter incidental to the events of the week. His topics ranged from the New Deal to Truman Eisenhower World War II War Atrocities local events and more. The University of Washington and University of Oregon both have portions of original Fisher political cartoons and caricatures.

196062025Albany OR: Fred F. Calson ca. 1960. Seven original paintings. Oblong folio. 20 x 15 in. painted in muted gouache on Crescent Illustration Board No. 300 with original label indicating the board were purchased from the Duedall-Potts Stationers in downtown Albany OR and all are signed by the artist minor age toning & wear to fore-edges very slight scuffing still an excellent bright group. This series of military industrial concept art paintings appear to have been executed sometime around 1960 and most likely for articles in Popular Mechanics Mechanix Illustrated or military-specific periodicals focusing on weapons development. The first painting captures a jet close to the Lockheed F-104 but tale configuration different bombing a section of jungle with massive explosion in center of painting; 4-tracked dozer & trailer being lowered by Sikorsky dual-rotor helicopter into the debris; the caterpillar 4-tracked dozer then clearing the debris and finally being reloaded into dual-rotor heavy-lift helicopter. Other proposed military applications for the same four-track platform were an ambulance in battlefield conditions with one soldier carrying another to the open back door; four-tube rocket launcher featuring sharp angles and planes foreshadowing the ungainly Tesla Truck and finally portable communications with revolving antenna and operator in rear half of the four-track vehicle. Although the proposed innovations as depicted in the concept art do not specifically mention a manufacturer or company these appear to be quite similar in operation and construction as the famed Tucker Sno-Cat 4-track vehicles which were historically developed and built in the company factory based out of Medford Oregon and famously used by Sir Vivian Fuchs in crossing Antarctica overland in 1958. Calson 1927-2009 was a Detroit-born commercial artist who served in the U.S. Army during World War II then the Army Air Force and later studied at Art Center. He became a noted industrial illustrator and commercial artist as well as farmer and woodworker. He was also well-known for his set designs and backdrops for the Lebanon Theater Workshop in Albany Oregon. Fred F. Calson, unknown
1931D45551931. Paperback. Very Good. A sweet little hand-made volume illustrated in full-color throughout; about 4.5-by-6 inches 20 pages including front and rear cover alternately bound with staples or glue. This joyful ode to Christmas booty as in presents features a Schnauzer in holly and red bow bounding through an alphabet of potential gifts as though through a store. Perhaps created as a mock-up story board or even a potential magazine lay-out it begins with Shophound sitting in his Vogue office on Christmas Eve most illustrations are drawn hastily though nonetheless legible and pleasing in colored pencil with two tipped-on illustrations cut from an unidentified source likely a Tiffany's catalogue. A little finger-smudged with graphite and with faint editorial notes in the margins buttressing the possibility that this is an early draft of a larger project. <br/><br/> paperback
1950D7341Worsthorne Lancashire c. 1950. Hardcover. Fine. Black white red and gilt decorative Christmas paper over boards; 185 x 273 mm; pp. 83 handwritten in ink with more than 20 drawings and watercolors including vignettes decorative flourishes and full-page scenes. A florid orderly feminine hand records a very personal account of her childhood memories and family history composed in hindsight and lamenting "the present world. of H. Bombs Nuclear Tests Atomic Secrets Radioactivity planes hurling through the air with deafening noise. The levity of my sketch Wordsorth forgive for like you 'Have I not reason to lament what man has made of man'" She also references "peace time" making it clear that she has some familiarity with war and this is perhaps why the entire volume is a careful balancing act between a retreat to the past told cheerfully as though to a child and a more somber rumination on her present. The artwork is invariably accomplished -- ranging from lovely floral themes animals portraits of children and one of Queen Elizabeth landscapes and family houses to somewhat fantastical renderings of human forms floating in the air. She also carefully draws and colors two pictorial maps of locales she recalls from her youth and tips on 2 photographs b/w silver gelatin prints of her grandmother's shawl and bonnet and 1 photograph of a broadside advertising the auction of her uncle's John Crowther sheep and sheep dogs. John her fathers younger brother died in 1887 after being struck by lightning.

1930D7486England c. 1930. Ephemera. Very Good. Disbound broken text block only; 176 x 227 mm; 78 lined pages with text handwritten in black ink and fine illustrations in ink and/or gouache; plus a photo and a short article clipped from a newspaper and neatly tipped-on. This volume perhaps fell into the hands of a terrorist younger sibling as a few pages are scribbled on or have chips or scuffs where it appears that a tipped-on item has been removed. Still the surviving pages are remarkable and -- since the binding is already broken -- begging for display. Our author intials his artwork "L.C.S." and his thoughtful text reveals his age 16 years the names of his fellow scouts Cooles Adams Burchett Matthews Moore and scout leaders Sanders Ward and some details about activities in Gilwell Park and around Bournemouth. But L.C.S. is clearly more interested in honing his artistic skills than writing much down -- the bulk of this volume is given over to his impressively accomplished decorative borders full-page gouache landscapes and comical ink sketches. He provides maps of camp sites at Colyton and Upton; cartoons of sites being invaded by cows or bees; goache portraits of Native American Indians or animals or sweeping landscapes; portraits of scouts in uniform that illustrate the different uniforms used in Spain Czechoslovakia Iceland Denmark Sweden Norway Siam Poland Scotland and Hungary. He excells at embellishments ornate lettering and decorative borders and it happens frequently that he'll create an elaborate border for a page but then neglect to fill it. <br/><br/> unknown

Heavy cardstock leaves oblong 325 x 250 mm bound with thin blue rope tassled along spine; pp. 54 with text handwritten in black ink in German and English with original illustrations in ink or ink and gouache both in text and full-page. Created from 32 leaves some of them glued together along the edges creating a new page when the author/illustrator wanted to change her lay-out text or illustration -- these have since become detached offering an interesting look at the author's creative process. Binding broken and leaves loose but in excellent condition suitable for display. The artwork is extraordinary -- showing cute little chicks as their adventure takes them from fields full of flowers to lakes brimming with colorful fish. It tells a story of 3 little chicks who find a mysterious blue egg which they are told not to play with but they do and learn some valuable lessons from the consequences. Though little is known about the author she appears in a tiny b/w photograph on the ultimate full-page illustration. More of her unrelated artwork is laid-in at rear including pastels of trees floral arrangements in gouache -- lovely suitable for framing. <br/><br/> paperback
