  • Z Green Bag Almanac and Reader 2012
    INTRODUCTION TO THE WOLFE PACK Ellen E. Krieger† Given the low esteem in which Nero Wolfe holds lawyers, ex- cept possibly Henry Barber and later Nathaniel Parker, there is an amusing irony in the fact that this year's edition of The Green Bag Almanac and Reader focuses on Nero Wolfe and the Law. It is also fun to speculate on how Mr. Wolfe would react to the use of the word “Tidbits” in the title, given his unfortunate experience with a tinned liver paté, Tingley's Tidbits. Of course, I myself have been involved for more than three decades in The Wolfe Pack, a group that Mr. Wolfe would un- doubtedly regard no more highly than he does lawyers. There are, to the best of my knowledge, no references in the Corpus of Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe novels and novellas to fan clubs, but I imagine that Mr. Wolfe would hold the members of such groups in some contempt, although he might take secret pride in being the subject of one. The gestation period for The Wolfe Pack makes the elephant look like the fruit fly. There were rumblings of an association for Wolfe aficionados in 1969, when The Viking Press promoted its publication of William S. Baring-Gould's Nero Wolfe of West Thirty- Fifth Street with a full-page advertisement in The New York Times Book Review, inviting readers to enter a “Mammoth New Nero Wolfe Contest.” The hardly “mammoth” contest consisted of an- swering four extremely simple questions about the Wolfe books, to become charter members of a non-existent West 35th Street Irregu- lars.

They were motivated by the realization that Europe surpassed U.S. in the production of contemporary furnishings—a fact made evident at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in 1925, an event that the U.S.

    1 (Art, Tattooing). [Hand-drawn and illustrated poster]: Don’t Forget Your Number. Have It Tattooed On Now. 1936. $2900 Hand-drawn and illustrated poster on thick cardboard. Measuring 20½" x 13¾". Some soiling and tack-holes in the corners, a little waviness on the cardboard, very good. A crudely lettered promotional tattoo art poster with three variant flash designs, all bearing the date 1936, urging Social Security Card recipients to have their numbers tattooed on themselves. The first Social Security numbers were issued in November of 1936 and created a certain amount of anxiety around this scheme to create a national identity system. According to DeMello in Bodies of Inscription: A Cultural History of the Modern Tattoo Community (Duke University Press, 2000): “…men and women flocked to tattoo shops to have their number tattooed on them.” Perhaps the most evocative illustration of this is in Dorthea Lange’s photograph “Unemployed lumber worker goes with his wife to the bean harvest. Note social security number tattooed on his arm” (FSA-OWI Collection, Library of Congress, August, 1939). This placard is a splendid example of a naive American aesthetic object, with its artwork clearly bearing a 1936 date, a direct link to the earliest days of the Social Security program, making this a compelling primary document of Depression-era social history.
