Item Description
Eight originals attributed to Manuel Gonzales and/or Tom Wood. Largest piece is on 7.75x8.5" sheet of animation paper with image in lead and red pencil with Hiawatha holding bow and arrow standing on pile of rocks in forest looking off in distance. Same image appears in panel 2 March 1937 Good Housekeeping page and this same image also appears on the cover of our Hiawatha book pair #2214 with a few subtle differences including the rock pile he is standing on becoming a hilltop and with more trees in background. Sheet has vertical crease just to right of center and lower left corner has a 1.5" piece clipped off. A few lt. handling creases and nine barely seen pin holes around the rocks. Image still displays clean and VF. Seven remaining sheets range in size from 4.25x4.75" to 5.5x7 5/8" with all art in lead pencil as done for book. Art closely matches art in book and includes frontispiece page with Hiawatha paddling canoe, whooping at scared bunny, chasing bunny off as animal friends watch, being startled by bear cub who is also startled, and being chased by bear’s mother. Largest sheet of these seven was apparently designed for double page which was never used and has image of Hiawatha being pulled on sled by young deer towards his canoe. This sheet has vertical crease near center as designed for double page plus three pin holes near bottom, otherwise these seven are Exc. Wonderful, tight and well drawn images throughout.
