Abstract

An advertisement for the National Shawmut Bank. The advertisement utilizes the fable of the Man and the Satyr to catch the attention of consumers. The ad has a printed ink drawing originally by artist Irwin Smith depicting the man and the satyr. The translation of the story was by Vernon Jones, and was published by William Heineman in London.

Abstract This advertisement is extremely clever. The large sheet of heavy paper is folded down to a brochure of about 5" x 5½". As one opens the brochure, one finds four progressive views. First a simple Ulm woodcut detail without words invites a viewer to open the brochure from the left. The next view, of the same size, uses Calder's WC and proclaims "It wasn't an easy task." The next opening offers a view three times as large and uses a sole lion, an LM illustration, and Grandville's TH to describe...

Abstract

This poster is so attractive that it sells for high prices iln various art galleries. One can distinguish the original from a facsimile like this by the lack here of a printer's name at the base of the poster front. Notice that not only is the stork enjoying the water, to the fox's chagrin, but the same scene is also on the label of the bottle itself. I have not yet been able to find an actual bottle label of that sort, but you never know!

“Dear Doctor: We are pleased to send you the fifth 3-dimensional wall unit in our six-part series, Aesop’s fables. It is based on the famous story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”, which teaches us that nobody believes a liar, even when he is telling the truth. Those who are philosophically minded might say that there is more to the story than meets the eye. Was the boy who cried wolf merely playful…”

Abstract Clever parodies of La Fontaine. "Le Chat et l'Oiseau" is a parody of WL: whatever explanations the little bird makes, the cat will eat the bird. GA is composed in particularly idiomatic slang verse, but I think it comes to something like this: a rogue having knocked about all summer comes to an old haunt and asks for a few rounds, offering only a brush in payment. The innkeeper asks what he did all summer and then responds that he can brush now. A barber snoozes and dreams that he has...
