1893WRCLIT77690Joliet IL 1893. One and one-half pages in ink on recto and verso of quarto sheet of pictorial letterhead of THE LITERARY NORTHWEST with return address and printed portion crossed through. Tiny filing spindle hole; partial splitting at center mailing fold with no loss scrawled pencil docket and light soiling; about very good. Carpenter writes "To Mr. Herbert S. Stone" of the Chicago publishing firm of Stone & Kimball reporting that "All the drawings for the set of books you are getting out for Mr. Garland have been turned in & have proofs of all with the exception of the last two or three . They seem to have Mr. Garland's approval . I have tried to do good work on them and I think they will come out very strong and black. I have made many more than I had expected to but I am of course anxious to make a good showing from purely a selfish reason." Carpenter continues: "I should be very glad indeed to have you give me a chance when opportunity presents itself to do some artistic and decorative work quaint initials and the like or illustrating of any kind. While I have been very glad to have the opportunity of doing some realistic illustrating I think I would make a creditable showing in other directions. I mentioned to Mr. Garland the other day the payment of the $100 . I should very much appreciate the remittance if convenient as this season's experience has not left me in good financial shape." Horace Thompson Carpenter 1857-1947 was an American illustrator artist and art writer and served as Manager of THE LITERARY NORTHWEST AN ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY MAGAZINE which was published briefly in St. Paul by the D.D. Merrill Company from March 1892 until July 1893 -- no doubt its demise was among the causes of Carpenter's financial concerns. He studied under Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. "Hamlin Garland's books were the rock on which the firm of Stone & Kimball was securely founded . . . The firm published Garland's PRAIRIE SONGS the essays CRUMBLING IDOLS and the novel ROSE OF DUTCHER'S COOLLY. Another volume of stories PRAIRIE FOLKS was published by Stone & Kimball in 1895 from the types of an earlier edition. The author was extravagantly pleased with the appearance of these books; especially with the designs of H.T. Carpenter for MAIN TRAVELLED ROADS reprinted by Stone & Kimball and PRAIRIE SONGS and with the symbolic design of three cornstalks the publishers gave their bindings. Great pains were taken in the production of these books." KRAMER pp.17-18. unknown books
