Anecdotal Cartoons drawn by David D. Hand:
When David Hand closed GB Animation in 1950, he returned to the United States and moved to Colorado Springs,
Colorado, where he joined the Alexander Film Studios for the next 18 years. He then moved to Cambria, California. In his
spare time, he created a large series of anecdotal cartoons, which he sent to various magazines and had success in having
some published.
The original drawings were created with pen and ink and then enhanced in water color. Most color has faded to the eye on
the original work, but the drawings are vibrant. When we scanned the drawings to make copies, using the Photoshop program,
it was possible to enhance the picture and bring out the original colors.
Almost all of the pictures are signed. They are mostly drawn on 8.5" x 11" paper. Some have David Hand's hand written
editorial notes. Where text was required to describe the action, such text was created to underscore the pictures.
Some have typewritten text which is pasted to the bottom of the picture. A few of the pictures are "workin progress." Six typical pages of Ancedote Cartoons
Price of the complete set of 188, 8.5" x 11" presentations: $1,880.00 Cartoon Collection:
One hundred & seventy six (176) of the Anecdotal Cartoons were scanned in Photoshop and edited into a booklet, four cartoons
to a page. A short article on David Hand is inserted on the inside front cover. During the scanning, the original color
was enhanced. The pages are printed on 8.5" x 11", glossy paper and "Velo-bound" under a clear plastic sheet. Three typical pages of the Ancedote Cartoons book Price per copy of the book: $24.00
Signed note from J. Arthur Rank:
An original note from J. Arthur Rank to David D. Hand, noted to be "Xmas 1947." The formality between Rank
and David Hand is interesting in as much as the relationship between the two was in the form of a Joint Venture
Partnership. The note brings in his wife (my step mother) but is not addressed to her.
As background, the Studio came into being in 1944. The location of the Studio in Cookham, Berkshire became available
in 1945. It must be kept in mind that though there was a "Studio," there was nothing else. No personnel, no equipment,
the property was not set up as a Studio, etc. David Hand spent the next four years creating a facility, staff and
product out of nothing. 1948 was the target date to actually produce something. To this point, Rank had put out funds,
but had seen no kind of financial return.
The note says "Dear Mr. Hand Price for the Rank note: $800.00
