Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino (This was also adapted into an award winning opera)

poetry by Charles Simic (possibly A Wedding in Hell?)

poetry by Mark Strand (possibly Dark Harbour?)

Music used in Season 1 collected by @greedandenby here

*if collected or in translation most of the best editions today would not have been available to the characters pre-1940. It’s possible Louis is meant to have read them in their original French in some cases, but it would provide for a different experience. Lydia Davis’ Madame Bovary, for example, attempts to replicate this.

** I've tagged and linked relevant excerpts under quote series as I've been working my way through the list.

Mayuri Shiiha from Steins;Gate, but THICC. Like my art of Kirisu I made her for a Reddit "Becky VS Stacy" meme, with Mayuri being the stacy. What can I say? She's absolutely adorable. And she's not stupid, she's VERY emotionally intelligent, just kind of airheaded and innocent. She also has massive boobs, the second biggest in the cast, but is modest about them which I like. She's already pretty cute, but in the right getup she could be ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Doesn't help that by the end of the show she's the only major character without a love interest, so she's very available. Mayuri is my favorite character in the show. She's such an innocent ray of sunshine, making it even more tragic when the spoilers happen. Best girl, which is hard to do in a pseudo-harem anime/LN where the cast is 70% (and a half, because spoilers) female and most are pretty likable. (minus Moeka fuck Moeka)

Love Story Magazine ,

February 13 1932.

Art by Modest Stein.

[vintage-tech]

today’s scanned magazine: Love Story, March 2 1940

Yes, a pulp fiction! Which I scanned in the 16-bit greyscale mode so I wouldn’t have to fix the yellow of the paper (an issue, since this is a pulp magazine). I didn’t scan any of the lovey-dovey articles, thank you, it’s all advertisements.

As always, you can blithely ignore this and remain ignorant -or- you can click through the cut and be a better, wiser, broader person. Make the right choice.

Let’s start with the cover, drawn by Modest Stein but seems reminiscent of Art Frahm. Why so many hat boxes?

Did you ever put Listerine in your hair? (They also made two hair creams, which you could get a free sample of in a different ad.)

Before Baby Ruth and Butterfinger went from Nabsico to Nestle to Ferraro, they were the creation of Curtiss, who knew something about marketing their products: CANDY IS DELICIOUS FOOD.....ENJOY SOME EVERY DAY

Have you ever lost your child at sea, and your saving grace was fresh carbon-zinc C-cell batteries in the flashlight you luckily were carrying?

Do you need extra money? Do you like potatos? We’ve got just the perfect offer for you...

One more? Uh... Remember when Harley-Davidson motorcycles were marketed to cleancut straitlaced people? Okay, you don’t, me neither, but pretty much every Harley ad before 1970 featured people you wouldn’t expect on a scooters (other than maybe thrill-hunter cops, as the MC below looks to be)... and not the people you actually see on them.

p.s.: I’ve uploaded one more to my typewriter blog.

some puttering kind of job — what became of John

  ...I opened the door myself. There stood a bent old man.       “‘Good morning, sir,’ said he, with a tremble in his voice that made me feel sorry for him. I knew he wanted something. As a rule I turn off these fellows who come prowling around, but I listened to what this old man had to say. ‘Maybe you have some furniture that you would like polished,’ said he. ‘I’ll doa good job for you if you have something of that kind, sir. I don’t like to go around this way bothering people, but I’m not able to do a full day’s work in the factory like I used to. I could get along pretty well myself all right at some puttering kind of a job, but that wouldn’t give me enough money for my needs nowadays...’” page 33

...“Well, Mr. Travers, I guess we won’t have a place for you here any more. You are getting so old that you can’t do much, and then you are ailing with rheumatism and we can’t count on you. Business is business, you know. Your children ought to begin to take care of you now, anyway.” “But I haven’t but one child and she’s a widowed daughter with five little children,” said I. “Can’t you give me something to do?” “No, I was talking to the manager [46] about that,” said the foreman—he was a hard-hearted kind of a fellow anyway, just the sort that the company wanted in that place—“and the old man said that he didn’t want anyone just puttering around, that he wanted people to work for him who could work. There’s no use arguing the case. That’s the end of it,” and away he turned. There I had worked for that firm for thirty-five years, and when I was over seventy years old, and not able to do anything much but polish furniture, they turned me away. page 36

ex Charles N. Crewdson (1870-?), Building Business (1907)

The hathitrust catalog record for this Harvard copy lists Amy Richards, presumably (it is not specified) because she designed the cover : link.

On Richards, see Fields of Gold : American Decorated Trade Bindings and Their Designers, 1890–1915 (David Pankow, curator; Cary Graphic Arts Collection, RIT) : link and Amy Richards, “Cover Designing” in : Frederick H. Hitchcock, ed., The building of a book; a series of practical articles written by experts in the various departments of book making and distributing (1906) : 216-220 : link

Charles N. Crewdson also authored Tales of the Road, illustrated by J. J. Gould (Chicago, 1905), several scans via hathitrust : link (there’s a hardware lit connection)

a Mrs. Charles N. Crewdson (1869-?) authored An American baby abroad : how he played Cupid to a Kentucky beauty (1910) This book was illustrated by R.F. Outcault (1863-1928 *) and Modest Stein (1871-1958 *), and manages to pack racist/ethnic offensiveness around both the Black nurse Roxie and Arab abductors of the young heroine (and Roxie, and their young charge) in Egypt. link

[konstantya]

The covers are gorgeous!  Both of these are by Modest Stein, who did a lot of work for the pulps, and especially Love Story.  (Also, his personal life was absolutely WILD.  He was an anarchist, moved to New York and lived with his cousin and his cousin’s girlfriend, then got into a ménage situation where they were both sleeping with the girlfriend, then he was supposed to be the back-up man in this assassination plot, but the police got wind of it and were on the lookout for him, so he dumped his dynamite in an outhouse and went into hiding, and then when it all blew over, he was like, “Yeah...maybe I should just concentrate on my art.”  His wikipedia page is totally worth a read.)
