4742Whale wrote notes on the Frederick Douglas character sketch: "'Wallace Evennett as 'Fredericsic Douglass" and below "It is all right." Between the notes Whale signed and dated "J. Whale 1920." The second sketch from the same production identifies the character as "Susan" with dialogue below. "Now look 'ere you Mr. Douglass!!!" And again between the notes he has signed and dated "J. Whale 1920." <br/><br/>The sketches are rendered in artists pencil and ink. Wallace Evennett 1887-1973 was a British actor. Before he directed horror films notably "Frankenstein" the "Invisible Man" and "Bride of Frankenstein" Whale designed sets and costumes for the theater. He is particularly recognized for the theatrical elements in these classics. Material signed by Whale is rare in any form. unknown books

42196The larger print of Jonah getting coughed up by the whale "Evomit Absorptum Caeco de Guttere Coetus" ca. 1615 is signed on the plate "Marten de Vos Inventor." It is a later adaptation of one of de Vos's 1585 series of four engravings illustrating the story of Jonah. Image size is 20 1/4 x 16 inches. I love the image and the title is wonderful too. I hardly ever get to buy or sell anything with "Evomit" in the title. In earlier states Jehovah was pictured in person as in the smaller engraving which measures 9 3/4 x 8 1/8 inches. In later states His image was replaced by a symbolic tetragram. Later still as in this large print God disappears completely from the scene. The large print is in very good condition with a faint central fold line. It is trimmed to the margin. The smaller print is untrimmed. Both prints books
