OT.......estate sale find

[baseballart]

That's a nice find. As a book and art collector, for me it's very cool to find the original illustrations for a book.

My favorite part of my collection is the art work from The Speed Boy, a 1938 novel about deadball baseball

Here's a cover of the book, together with five of the illustrations from the book

[Reginald Marsh]

Very Nice Max. What a cool name for a book. There was a total of 15 illustrations for the book i found and i particular dig the ones with the eagles. Also in the sale i bought a box containing artwork from Edna Miller and there are some great pieces that were in the box.

It would be pretty awesome if that were Frank Miller. Unfortunately he was 3 years old when that book was published.

One of my favorite graphic artists by the way.

[Reginald Marsh]

Well there are several Frank Miller's but the website with completed sales of his states he was born in 1898 but i guess that is a typo. Thanks for the help and one of the hardest things to do dometimes is to identify artists.

I was referring to the Frank Miller who did "Sin City", "300" and "The Dark Knight" graphic novels.

There may very well be another one I'm not aware of. I thought that's who you were referencing.
