About This Item
First Edition . Unbound. Good. 6 beautiful mounted lithographs in a large textured paper folder, 16" x 13". (The lithos are 8" x 10"; their mounts are 11" x 14.25".) One water spot on front of folder which has made a bit of red ink in the illustration run; $5.00 price on lower left corner; foreedge a little bent. Each litho has a short page of text attached to the rear of the mount: that of #6 is missing; otherwise the art is in perfect condition. Babcock opened a printshop in Albuquerque during WWII (Babcock & Borough); their productions are scarce but they seem to have specialized in postcards, stationery and the like. They were responsible for some war propaganda cards, and a 'stamp' which they produced for soldiers to use (postage was free to soldiers). The Post Office objected to the stamp, and very few were used. Babcock later illustrated prizefights and seems to have been located in Iowa. This piece is so rare that we have never heard of another.
