FABULOUS ABC ORIGINAL ART 219. FREEMAN,DON. ORIGINAL ART: ADD-A-LINE ALPHABET. Offered here is a wonderful collection of 45 watercolor or ink drawings for various letters of the alphabet including early notes and sketches regarding the page layout or general notes listing ideas for various letters of the alphabet by Freeman in preparation for the 1968 publication of his Add-A-Line Alphabet. Freeman presents the alphabet by having the letter used as a body part of an animal; so that for instance the letter “I” is used as the legs of an Ibis. There are great examples of some of the letters for which Freeman has designed a variety of possibilities (“A” as an Anteater, “A” as an Ape). Most of the studies are watercolors on 8 1/2 x 11 or larger card or paper. Several pages show Freemans different versions of the rhyming text. Two of the mock-ups show a profile self-portrait of Freeman, drawing an animal from letters and there are lovely examples of ideas for the cover of the book.
