Description

I'm thrilled to add a wonderful Gluyas Williams double-page spread to the collection. Titled "Soap and Water" I & II, the piece is a nod to Williams' love of Caran d'Ache's work, and by further extension, H.M. Bateman. This piece was reprinted in Williams' 1940 book, "Fellow Citizens". I don't know where it was published yet, but likely either Life or Collier's magazines. It's doubtful that it appeared in the New Yorker, but I guess it's possible. I'd put the date at circa 1935.

There is no scan that can do justice to Gluyas Williams' fine, fine line work, but at least you can get a sense of his subtle figure movement. Just lovely, lovely stuff.

Along with the single scan of the two pieces together, I have larger size images of the individual boards.

Very fun piece as part of the evolution of cartooning in the comics artform. There are no rules as long as you can communicate the ideas through the artwork.
