1932W2805<p>Redlands California: Unpublished 1932. Original watercolor and color pencil drawing on artist board. SIGNED. Near Fine. 9 inches by 18 Inches.</p><p>Dean Cornwell 1892-1960 studied under Howard Pyle's student Harvey Dunn and the influence of the Brandywine School in much of Cornwell's work. Nicknamed "The Dean of Illustrators" by his peers Cornwell completed more than 1000 paintings as illustrations for stories and advertisements in books and magazines such as <em>Cosmopolitan Life Redbook</em> and many others.</p><p>Although he was very successful as an illustrator Cornwell decided to become a muralist; so in the late 1920s he spent 3 years in England studying mural painting with Frank Brangwyn. His first commission was to create his now famous murals for the Los Angeles Public Library. In 1932 he completed murals for the Lincoln Memorial Shrine in Redlands California. Although the study offered here was not selected for inclusion it may well have been the inspiration for the 2 allegorical murals he completed for the project because it includes both of the elements that were the focus of each of the selected murals: "He Freed the Slaves" and "He Preserved the Union." Included with the watercolor are 2 vintage postcards picturing the murals. Also the scene in this study is placed atop a plinth that is quite similar to those in the murals. The study also includes the muralist technique of surrounding figures with strong outlines which Cornwell adopted both in his own murals and in his later illustration work.</p><p>Paintings by Cornwell have been exhibited in the Whitney Museum of American Art The Art Institute of Chicago the National Academy of Design and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In 1959 he was inducted into the Society of Illustrators' Hall of Fame.</p> Unpublished

R.R. yellow C & O Ry. red and Rhinehart & Dennis green. A RARE map not found at OCLC or in online searches depicting the area of the Hawks Nest Tunnel disaster which has been called one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. "The Hawks Nest Tunnel was part of a hydroelectric project undertaken by Union Carbide near Gauley Bridge WV. Beginning in 1927 nearly 3000 men three-fourths of whom were Black endured prolonged exposure to silica dust-without respiratory protection-while mining sand-stone. Many of these workers developed silicosis and eventually died from the disease. Although the exact number of deaths caused by the disaster is unknown some sources say more than 1000 workers died. The 16240-ft-long tunnel served to divert water from the New River through Gauley Mountain a drop of 162 ft. Its sole purpose was to provide electricity only to the Electro Metallurgical Co. another Union Carbide subsidiary. Since the drill- ing of the tunnel was defined as a construction project and not technically mining the workers were deprived of any protective provisions for underground mining." VANTAGE POINT The Historic & Cultural Importance of the HAWKS NEST TUNNEL DISASTER By Howard W. Spencer February 2023. In addition to the railroad lines the map shows the sites of Electro-Metalugical Co. loading and unloading tracks for Rhinehart & Dennis contractor for the Tunnel and the Dam Site for the New Kanawha Power Co. It wasn't until a NEWSWEEK article published Jan. 25 1936 that the American public learned of what had transpired years before. After an investigation in Congress the summary statement of the investigating committee concluded - "That the whole driving of the tunnel was begun continued and completed with grave and inhumane disregard of all consideration for the health lives and future of the employees. That as a result many workmen became infected with silicosis; that many have died of the disease and many not yet dead are doomed to die from the ravages of the disease as a result of their employment and the negligence of the employing contractor."
