Another William Hamilton Original
I included a William Hamilton original drawing in yesterday’s round-up of original drawings on Ebay. Another of his has shown up offered through Comic Art Fans. Yesterday, I noted that Hamilton’s drawing looked to be a page out of a notebook, or maybe a pad of “art” paper. This one on CAF also looks like it’s on a page torn out of a spiral bound something or other. Interesting “process” Mr. Hamilton had, if these were “finished” drawings (they look finished as the piece includes the signature Hamilton signature).

Back In Maine, Back To The New Yorker Album Of Drawings 1925-1975
A couple of years ago, in a post titled“The New Yorkery Summer Library” I wrote this:
The New Yorker Album Of Drawings 1925 – 1975 is the anchor book of the library. I think it was one of, if not the first New Yorker books added to this library. I often use it as a makeshift desk. I like thinking that just maybe some inspiring “vibes” from my cartoonist colleagues might seep through as my Rapidograph hovers over the blank page.
Back in Maine this weekend, I’ve taken my old friend down off the shelf for a refresher course in Golden Age New Yorker cartoons. I should’ve added to that two year old post that this particular album of drawings was the very first one I owned. It was gifted to me while I was still in college. At the time, I was already submitting drawings weekly to The New Yorker as part of an independent study course I talked one of my professors into allowing me to pursue for course credit. In other words, I was doing what I do now.
The 50th anniversary volume stood in as a teacher (as did the set of bound New Yorkers in the college library). Coming back to this summer library, I’m returned, sort of, to those earlier times of having just this one Album, and not the stack in this photo to the left.
I suppose you could call the 50th anniversay book a New Yorker cartoon primer. It holds up to this very day as an example of the exciting possibilities within this art form.
