Eric Stahlhut Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 has anyone seen one of these before? the dimensions of the book makes it difficult to photograph the pages, of which there are approx 50. all printed on one side only...the cartoons are quite amusing!

Eric Stahlhut Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 small sampling of what's inside...it's really hard to get the entire page clearly-pages measure 7inches tall by 17.5 inches wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stahlhut Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 not much is known about this cartoonist. in the 30s he drew cartoons for 'happy days', a publication handed out by the CCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stahlhut Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 i'm glad you appreciate it!would you like to see more of the content in the future?i am currently trying to figure out how to make the images more legible.this book is a great reflection of the times-all kinds of stuff/jargon to pick up on. condition of this one is extremely good-binding is still as it was and shows nominal age only as far as i can tell. hasn't been messed with since the time someone decided to wrap it in a loose plastic protective cover.

David S Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) I like things like that, at a young age I acquired two books by Bruce Bairnsfather (sp?)American stuff is hard to find as it was not produced inbig numbers, and when produced is on really cheap paperIt gives a good eye to the timesYes . . .I would like to see more Edited September 26, 2008 by David S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
