Excellent condition overall with some toning small chips and various wear to margins but overall quite well preserved. Near Fine. Isabel and Monroe Smith a married couple from Northfield Massachusetts started the American Youth Hostel movement in 1933 after gaining inspiration from Richard Schirrman’s German Hosteling Organization. The movement grew quickly with thirty hostels operating throughout New England within the first year. The first hostel was the Northfield Chateau a large mansion on Birnham Road that was eventually demolished in 1963. The network of chaperoned hostels created the opportunity for safe bicycle-based travel as shown in the posters offered here. <br /> <br /> Offered here are three early posters from the movement designed by Isabel Smith each with her signature in the image. All posters are variations on the cycling theme. One of them states that “When the grand day’s bicycling is done… no fare can compare with the Royal ‘Hostellers’ Own.†Smith’s design aesthetic is quite accomplished and we are surprised to find no examples of these in institutional collections. Overall a visually compelling group uncommon. Litho Inc. / American Youth Hostels unknown

19689054no place: By the author 1968. Fine. 1968. Hardcover. Unpaged; 98 pp. ; 5' x 8 1/2"; plain red cloth over boards; tan endpapers; hand-drawn and colored drawings on each page you can feel the ink on the paper's surface. Designed in the form of a flip book which format Deitch had used in 1967 with "Nudnik the cut finger fumble" published by Cinémathèque Canadienne occasion of the World Retrospective of Animation Cinema as part of Expo 67. This work appears to have never been published in book form but was produced as a film. The book appears to be unique bound as a 'pitch bible' for The Giants. There are several pastedown replacements/edits on pages form textual parts to half to whole page. It appears that some leaves are actually two pages stuck together as another way of removing or editing parts or reusing the back side of a page to redraw a part. One of these was just separated enough to be able to see partial drawings 'inside' so to speak. Eugene Merril Deitch born August 8 1924 1 is an American illustrator animator and film director. Based in Prague since 1959 Deitch is known for creating animated cartoons such as Munro Tom Terrific and Nudnik as well as his work on the Popeye and Tom and Jerry series. The background leading up to the creation of The Giants as a film as well as its sensational reception and subsequent banishment is a fascinating and complex drama. The inspiration for the story according to Deitch was the Israeli - Palestinian conflict: "But first back to the dilemma of the offer by the Czechs to back an original film by me. I didn't want to offend them with an all-out no. I just said that I couldn't afford to do a film without a hard-currency backer. But that didn't stop me from thinking about the idea and a statement I had long wished to make about the futility of violence - violence begetting counter-violence. The seemingly endless blow and counter-blow between Israel and the Palestinian was on my mind. It had been going on a long time already in the mid-60s and as of this writing it is still going on. So even though I couldn't make such a film for the Czechs The Prague government at that time strictly backed the Palestinian - no evenhanded story about that could possibly be filmed here however I might mask it. But I nursed a hope that I might someday find a backer so I worked up a storyboard. I titled it 'The Giants'." It was to be staged with symbolic characters two equally ugly snarling spitting dwarfish figures one solid blue and the other a flaming magenta on a deathly landscape. They hurl venomous insults at each other to the constant irritating rasping sound of locusts. One dwarf loudly calls out the name of his protector. Thunderous earthshaking footsteps are heard and giant feet and legs the same color as the summoning dwarf stride in and stand behind him. Then the other dwarf turns and calls out the name of his protector. More thundering footsteps and a giant of his color strides in. Then the two dwarfs goad each of their giants to engage in a series of blows and counter blows. After numerous drastic exchanges and a devious peace conference the two giants ultimately abandon their two irreconcilable clients to fight it out by themselves. But the mean-spirited dwarfs have no stomach for personal battle and so cling together in a terrified embrace repeatedly moaning" How will we get along without our protectors" "I got the wildest designer in the country Vratislav Hlavat_ to give the film the highly bizarre look the story demanded. Hlavat was not only a wild designer but also a wild adventurer. He and few other hot-eyed pals were flying on natural gas in homemade balloons! I brought in my most promising assistant Milan Klikar to do the layouts. Then just as we were ready to begin animation the Russians came in! After a week of terror I put Zdenka and the Giants layouts in my little Saab car and drove over the border to Austria. I couldn't take a chance of being expelled from the country .
