Unbound. Zustand: Very Good. A small collection of photographs, negatives and ephemera from the artist Howell Dodd, Jr. Included are 12 manilla file folders containing well over 100 strips of photo negatives and 10 contact sheets, as well as a half dozen photographs of Dodd and his family. Also included are several printed examples of Dodd's artwork published in magazines and newspapers, along with some correspondence. Overall very good or better with the negatives housed in protective wax paper sleeves, the contact sheets with only light edgewear and assorted personal paper with toning and typical wear from mailing. Howell was born in Georgia in 1910 and worked an art editor at the *Atlanta Journal*, before later joining the Associated Press where, during World War II, he served as a war correspondent. Post-war he provided illustrations for magazine such as *Liberty*, * True*, *Crime* and * Police Detective*, and also commercial work, with several examples here for the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. Howell was also as an instructor for several years at the Famous Artists School correspondence course. The negatives are a mix of personal and professional images, with many used for reference in his illustrations. Nearly all of the folders are labeled with Dodd's pencil notes: shooting, fishing, cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, baseball parks, city life, street signs, store windows, cafe, etc., as well as children playing and people at home and in the office. There are also a series of shots of two different models posing in bathing suit with one being his wife, Marilee. About a third of the negatives include his family on vacation or son playing sports. A number of these are accompanied by photographs made from the negatives, as well as 10 contact sheets containing anywhere from six to two dozen images. A small but interesting collection of material from a now forgotten but successful full-time illustrator and war correspondent from Georgia.…
