Description

A piece I was thrilled to acquire. I had been a huge fan of Cleaver since first discovering his work many years back. He did many pages such as this. A central study in pencil, with surrounding ink vignettes further telling the story. For my money, he stands alongside any of the greats of the era. This piece was a little too large for my scanner. I'll try and include some details in other scans. His work amazes me.

Amazing mix of line illustration, soft photographic drawing, and regular outlined art for a patriotic piece. It might even be more detailed than what they could print.

Marcus, glad you enjoyed it. The details are pretty amazing. I don't think they even show up well in the scan.

Dan, Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the piece. I was surprised when I first discovered his artwork several years back. Why had I never heard of this artist before? He checked all the boxes for work that I usually enjoy. I feel there is a vast, untapped, resovoir of his work out there. He deserves much more acclain. He had a brother, Ralph, who also worked for the publications of the day.

Yes, it's spectacular. I only know of his work (and the whole genre of comics in illustrated papers of the period) from The Origins of Comics by Theirry Smoldern - there's a Reginald Cleaver reproduced in that book. I'm amazed that there are still originals around!

Dan, I discovered him several years back. I can't understand why he is not more widely recognized. After picking up several of his antique printed pages, I just about fell out of my chair when I ran across this original. I am beyond thrilled to be able to have it in my small collection. I would love to see a book focusing on his career.
