Marcia Richards. Looking for
F.L. comic cards!
| Marcia collects Rotograph comic cards in the FL series by artist August Hutaf. See scan above. Note that not all these cards are signed. Look for the artist's style and the Rotograph markings. She'd like to hear from others about this series. |
| Another collector of Hutaf, J. S. writes, "Wanted: Vinegar Valentines by August Hutaf, published by Rotograph (F.L. series) in 1907. Though barbed and witty, these insult valentines did not have the nastiness demonstrated by some other artists of his era. The valentines by August Hutaf are distinguishable by the thick black line between the verse and the comic picture. I am the great niece of August Hutaf and have been seeking his artwork for many years. I am several cards short of completing this set of 60 cards, so will buy cards regardless of condition or background color. Please contact me at Circleah@hutaf.com |
Ron
from Michigan PUZZLE #1!
| Ron has found an unusual Rotograph item. He describes it as an aluminum tray approximately 3.5 x 5" with an embossed metal edge, as though to hold calling cards. On it is stamped Rotograph image 1872a, Public Square, Cleveland, OH. It bears the familiar Rotograph 1905 copyright. See the scan, above. The image was apparently not meant as a wall hanging as there is no hook or other device for hanging. It is NOT paper pasted onto the metal, but is in fact printed lithographically directly onto the metal plate. Does anyone (a) have a similar item, or (b) know how this one came about and what its intended purpose was? |
