This is a reprint of a 1913 collection of Clare Briggs' marvelously nostalgic look at childhood, "The Days of Real Sport". Each of Briggs' cartoons is accompanied by a short verse by Wilbur D. Nesbit, and they may have been more appreciated at the time, but the main draw is Briggs' warmly charming pictures of childhood just after the turn of the 20th century. I love how some aspects of childhood have never changed, and technology and culture have completely altered others. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Poetry Verses by Wilbur D. Nesbit Afterword by Comics Historian Jeet Heer A grittier and less sentimental predecessor to Norman Rockwell, Clare Briggs exemplified the larger journey of American society from small-town innocence to urbane sophistication. The son of a farm machinery salesman, Briggs left his rural home as a young man to forge a career as an illustrator and cartoonist, earning success in such big-city papers asThe Chicago Examiner, theChicago Tribune, and theNew York Tribune. Within a few years, he became one of the most popular and imitated cartoonists in America: Frank King, Milton Caniff, and the first generation ofNew Yorker cartoonists all emulated Briggs. Eschewing the roughneck humor of early comic strips, Briggs drew low-key strips in two modes: nostalgic reveries focused on memories of small-town boyhood and satirical strips about the squabbles inherent in married life. First published in 1913 by P. F. Volland and Company of Chicago,Oh Skin-Nay! is a collaboration between Briggs and poet Wilbur D. Nesbit and portrays a year in the life of small-town America through the eyes of the twelve-year-old boy--wood gathering, sleigh rides, games of post office, swimming holes, and sandlot ball games. This book is presented as a facsimile edition of double-page spreads containing short poems and full-page cartoons as well as an expanded afterword on Briggs by comics historian Jeet Heer.
