FOUR YEARS before his death, when he was seriously ill, Jay Norwood Darling (Oct 21, 1876 – Feb 12, 1962) drew a farewell cartoon to be published on his demise and gave it to his secretary for safekeeping. It showed the cartoonist rushing out of his cluttered office. His last message read: — “Bye Now; It’s Been Wonderful Knowing You.” Henry Grantland Rice (Nov 1, 1880 – July 13, 1954) was a famous sporting columnist.

Some of the nicest work that either legendary newspaperman ever did. The tearsheets are wonderful to behold.
ReplyDeleteIn its death-throes the New York Tribune published a weekend ROP (full standard-page size) color section. Heavy, white, coated stock, gorgeous camera-separated colors. WE HAVE WITH US TODAY was on of the great results (otherwise, mostly sepia-toned post-war news photos...)
And Grantland Rive was the legendary sport writer (he coined the iconic "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" moniker for the Notre Dame front line).
Random: I own Grantland Rice's golf clubs and golf bag -- wooden shafts, mashie niblicks, etc) -- passed on to me by his friend the syndication pioneer (Bell Syndicate; ghost writer of Christy Matthewson's columns, ETC) John Wheeler.
Random AND somehow unsurprising!
DeleteVery neat!
