[GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT - ORIGINAL ARTWORK]. FISHER, Howard [Vaughn (Artist)].Biblio.com

Thoughts on the traffic problem; Will you be one of them; Subject to careful scrutiny; A pertinent question; The big drive is on! . . . Five large original political cartoon drawings recognizing the impact and importance of automobile travel and Good Roads in the West from 1938 through 1947.

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 â€œGlarco No. 1â€ at outer fore-edge 1 w/ â€œStrathmoreâ€ 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 artistâ€™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 driverâ€™s training for licenses and in the late 1930â€™s and 1940â€™s accidents fluctuated from 75 to 125 fatalities per 100000 registered vehicles as opposed to less than 20 in the 2000â€™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 â€œOregonâ€™s tourist business will be lifted toward the $ 50000000 markâ€ and trees and fish all welcoming automobile travelers speeding towards the â€œGreat Oregon Outdoors.â€ By the early 1940â€™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 â€œHoovervilleâ€ 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.

Above all and with that exceptional streak of modernity which characterises much of Wilde's life and works he understood the power of the image in his campaign of promoting himself. As early as his Oxford days he had himself photographed with his contemporaries in loud check suits of the latest fashion. Later when he toured America to lecture on aesthetics in 1882 almost as soon as he landed he commissioned Napoleon Sarony the best portraitist in New York to photograph him in fur coat and velvet suit; and in not one or two poses but at least twenty-seven. The Wilde Album now publishes more of these images of Oscar than have ever been seen together before as well as later photographs some previously unpublished from the family archive showing Oscar his family and his friends. There are also rare snapshots of Oscar in his last years in Italy taken most probably by a friend using Oscar's own camera which we know he owned from a letter of 1900." ; black cloth in color photographic dustjacket ; "The most comprehensive collection of photographs and images of Wilde--compiled by his only grandson." ; "Merlin Holland is a journalist and has spent the last twenty years researching his grandfather's life.

The Poet is Dead; A Memorial for Robinson Jeffers

196421110601San Francisco: The Auerhahn Press 1964. First and Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/very good . Van Aver Philip. First edition in book form one of 205 copies quarto size 22pp. signed by Brother Antoninus with prospectus. A heart-wrenchingly beautiful paean by one famous poet Brother Antoninus William Everson 1912-1994 to another John Robinson Jeffers 1887-1962 upon his death. "The great tongue is dried. / The teeth that bit to the bitterness / Are sheathed in truth. / For the poet is dead." For those who may not know the Auerhaun Press was founded by Dave Haselwood who relates its beginnings in the opening pages of the "Auerhahn Press Bibliography" thus: "During the Summer of 1958 I drifted around San Francisco talking endlessly with painters such as Robert LaVigne and Jesse Sharpe & poets Lamantia McClure Wieners and reading all the live poetry & prose I could get my hands on. It was at this time that it occurred to me that the press could mean a great many things some personal some in a larger context: - I had reached the point where complete physical involvement in something important to me was absolutely necessary. The press could fill that requirement" pp. 5-6. Andrew Hoyem joined the Press and became a partner; his meticulous attention to detail and skill at design and layout are evident here which would become hallmarks of his work at the Arion Press. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in quarter purple leather over ivory paper-covered boards white paper spine label with gilt lettering title page in purple and black the introduction "Note" and poem both with a two-line purple initial capital each stanza of the poem interspersed with a small purple circle signed by Brother Antoninus on the blank following the last page of the text; binding quarto size 10 3/4" by 8 1/8" unpaginated with twelve leaves; one of 205 copies unnumbered. The dust wrapper of plain white the prospectus a single sheet folded once to four pages an illustration on the front page in purple by Philip Van Aver text on the third page with purple initial capitals the second and final pages blank measuring 8 9/16" by 5 1/2" when closed. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine and could likely be deemed fine the boards clean other than light offsetting where the paper meets the leather and a tiny speck at the fore-edge bottom corner of the front board straight corners without rubbing a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior is clean and bright and entirely free of prior owner markings; some light offsetting to the paste-down endpapers and a few very small spots of foxing to the same else fine. The dust wrapper a bit better than very good mostly clean other than a few light stray marks light edgewear mostly at the head and tail but with a fair amount of sunning to the spine and back panel; the prospectus fine clean utterly without wear or soil. ___CITATION: Auerhahn Press bibliography no. 24; Bartlett and Campo no.
