This is fascinating material, Matt. I like the illustration on the first spread particularly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting it out.
Hey Peter-thanks for the comment-glad u found this material of interest.
ReplyDeleteThose original pages were auctioned off not two months ago. I didn't bid on them, dammit.
ReplyDeleteMy father did put them up for auction a couple of months ago, but they failed to reach the reserve price.
ReplyDeleteHe then thought better of it and gave them to me.
The scans really don't do them justice and I love them.
Mike
Mike-Glad to hear you got to keep them. It makes a lot more sense for you to treasure those incredible pieces of history since they relate to your great grandfather's past.
