A propos de cet article

57 pieces of original art ranging from around 2" x 2" to 15" x 11" + 7 small scraps of typed notes, signed in hand. Very good: largest piece folded askew; several items with light edge wear; a few toned with the occasional spot. This is a charming collection of impressive cartoons, handmade cards and love notes made by one Robert C. Doell for his sweetheart (and then wife) Ione Brimacombe, both of New York. We learned from Ione's obituary that she long outlived her husband, who died in 1992. Born in 1918 in the Bronx, she worked in retail in New York City before marrying Robert (her high school sweetheart) in 1942. She "was a consummate homemaker" and lived to 105. This collection of Bob's art appears to begin in 1936, when the two were still in school. He wrote notes complaining about English class, and drew her a trophy for the couple's "Miniature Golf Championship." Doell joined the Navy during World War II and continued to send Ione his art during his service. There are big striking drawings on stationery for the U.S. Naval Air Station at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, and a page of "Big Moments" for the sailor that included his likeness at "That first pay day" and doing cartwheels with "Your first letter." The art here varies widely, and he was skilled in several styles - there are silhouettes of children reading, fishing and playing; quite well-done portrayals of animals, from cartoon to pointillism; and several collections of small black and white (or pink and red) faces with names like "Luke Warm Water," "Oscar Longbeek," "Gar Bageman," "O. Gee" and "Mrs. Fiddle Sticks." A few have a political or anti-war bent, there's a cartoon of a man skiing off a cliff ("Gorsh - Tis Life"), and handmade cards for Christmas and Valentine's Day. Seven typed notes on scraps, each signed in hand "Robert," deem Ione "The ideal girl that I thought could only exist in ones dreams" and "A girl blessed with ambition, intelegence and beauty, the top of the tops." A varied and impressive collection of art and cartoons, sent with humor and with love.…

Description de la boutique

You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, “The Extraordinary History of the Every Day”, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.…
