WARREN CHAPPELL ORIGINAL ARTWORK 145. (CHAPPELL,WARREN)illus. ORIGINAL ART. Offered here is a group of 12 illustrations, many in color, sent by Chappell to his editor in the form of interesting book related notes and or Christmas greetings, as follows:

1. Watercolor dated July 30 showing a man reading a newspaper with a chair in the background. The note reads: “The proofs came yesterday morning. I am pleased that they look like they are successful to you there. It is always hard for me to see the first translation - especially before the ink has struck in. The staginess I wanted is there - as you noted. Also there is a change of pace in the big pictures so that the reader can have some surprises as he turns the pages. I am also glad that the best part - the music - gets fuller treatment in this book than in any of the others....”
