DescriptionW.E. (William Ely) Hill (1887-1962) was known for his masterful black and white Sunday page, Among Us Mortals, sometimes referred to as the Hill Page. There was no one doing pen and ink artwork in the newspapers like Hill. The original artwork, with its delicate hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling, probably to not even translate that well to newsprint. The details spent on the figures and tones is truly amazing, with lots and lots of delicate pen-work. “I learned very early in my career as an artist that if you stick pretty close to the people you see about you, every day you need not draw on your imagination for types,’ said Hill, in an interview. “People, just plain, everyday, commonplace people, alive and in motion fascinate me far more than anything else in the world,” he continued. You can see a sort of observed reality that got everyone’s attentionSocial/Sharing |

Great slice of life strip where the piece is very informative for fans to learn more of what they can expect in the park besides the game.

His pages are filled with a ton of "of their time" observations, too. Very 1950s.

Unfamiliar with this artist...I am mesmerized by his art. Gone are the days where an artist can seemingly "take time" to put so much into it. Thanks for posting/sharing

I sure agree. There is no way anyone was appreciating this work when it was printed with watery ink on newsprint, either. In my CAF collection of pages (in the Among Us Mortals gallery) I always include 2-3 close-ups to check out.
