Description
A collection of signed, mostly original cartoons, pen and ink drawings, and watercolors done by American cartoonists and artists at the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The artists include, among others: Robert Carter, Frank Fowler, L.M. Glackens, F.M. Howarth, Clifford McBride, F.B. Opper, T.M. Peirce, H.W. Phillips, Ed Reed, W.B. Russell, F.H. Smith, M. Woolf, and Eugene Zimmerman. The collection also includes a drawing by E. Muller (1875) and a painting by F. Simon (1854).
This collection primarily contains autograph letters from prominent architects, artists, authors, engravers, playwrights, and sculptors from the 19th century in England. These autograph letters appear to have been collected by Anna C. Stryke. Another portion of the correspondence contains letters from Richard Hancock, an English naturalist written to Stryke from 1924 through 1926. Items of interest include travel diaries to Hawaii, written by Stryke and her sister, Mary C. Stryke in 1935. There are also a number of drawings, sketches, and watercolors found in ephemera.

One advertisement entitled How You Can Study Original Drawings by America's Great Cartoonists, published by The Reserve Publishing Co., Cleveland, Ohio, ca. 1920. On the verso of the advertisement is printed: "How You Can Study Original Drawings by Great Cartoonists". The sheet advertises "typical examples of the work of six famous American cartoonists, from which etchings have been made of the principal figures exactly the same size as in each original." The cartoonists represented are: "Donahey of 'The Cleveland Plain Dealer'; McCutcheon of 'The Chicago Tribune'; Frost in 'Collier's Weekly'; Davenport of 'The New York Journal'; May of 'The Cleveland Leader'; and Hoban of 'The New York Journal'". The set includes six proofs in a portfolio, for the price of $2.00. This advertisement is illustrated with three sample cartoons from three of the aforementioned cartoonists; the illustrations are in a vertical line along the right-hand side of the page.
One drawing book of original drawings entitled Drawing Book, created by F.M., ca. 1850. It is bound in an illustrated orange paper binding; the title is within a twig and leaf decorative border that contains 4 small vignettes within each of the four corners. The title is centered. The back cover is similarly illustrated, with an eagle in the center of the frame. The book is 12 unnumbered leaves in length, and contains original and (presumably) copied pencil drawings, one of which is signed "F.M." The drawings include images of animals, people, fruit and flowers, and buildings. Tissue paper guard sheets are bound in between each of the leaves.
