Album of works for Jack London's "Children of the Frost,"

Image not available

Description: Album of original watercolors and charcoal sketches for the French edition of Jack London's "Children of the Frost." The drawings are primarily vibrant and expressionistic portraits of Eskimos, reminiscent of the work by Georges Rouault. Some of the illustrations depict a progression with the final image at the beginning. For instance, following the "final" watercolor for "In the Forest of the North", there are at least 7 preliminary illustrations in charcoal and black watercolor showing different angles and variations. All eight illustrations found in the French edition of Jack London's "Children of the Frost" are represented in this volume.

Jack London notebook

Manuscripts

Although this was originally Jack London's high school geometry notebook, London used it as a scrapbook after the original use. Most of the notebook pages have bits of paper glued onto them with quotes, lists of names (surnames, female names, male names, etc.), as well as lists of words in their vernacular such as "White Southern Vernacular," "Low Irish Vernacular," "California Spanish Vernacular," etc. Most of that material is typewritten but there is also handwritten material by London in the notebook. There are still several pages with mathematical equations in London's hand. Handwritten on the cover: "Jack London - Geometry" and "A.U.A.-'96."
