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

Approx. 150 separate pen & ink drawings a few water-coloured apparently intended for possible frontisp. or dustjacket cover all laid-out with margins and blanks left for text to be inserted later during printing mock-ups all w/ neat pagination below some with editorial notes; 4to. 14 leaves carbon copy typescript editing corrections in pencil & ink further notes w/ original working title center fold crease from mailing all preserved in original manila mailing envelope with postmark dated Dec. 5 1969 in excellent condition and from the library of Harold Berson artist. This exceptional typescript manuscript and complete suite of original illustrations provide splendid specimens for children’s book publishing during the Civil Rights & Women’s Rights movements through the Vietnam-War era. 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. In 1969-1970 the United States featured the newly created professional soccer league sanctioned by FIFA -- North American Soccer League whose most successful franchise was the New York Cosmos who later managed to recruit both Pele from Brazil and Franz Breckenbauer from West Germany to play for them. Berson 1926-1986 was born in Los Angeles served at the end of World War II and was an avid traveler. He graduated from UCLA with a BA in 1953 and spent most of the next two decades traveling in Europe studying art in Paris and then living in Spain France Italy Yugoslavia Turkey North Africa and after 1958 together with his fellow artist & wife Paula Winter Berson 1929-2003. His first illustrated book was “Loretta Mason Potts†by Mary Chase in 1958. He is perhaps best-remembered for his whimsical fairy tale creatures in his Henry Possum Mabel Watts’s “The King and the Whirlybird†“Mother Goose Treasury†“Raminagrobis and the Mice†“King Midas and the Golden Touch†and many others.

Osborn holds forth in 19 cartoons on the subjects of hair and California.

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
