WWII Map

This map was a hand-me-down. Far East War Map. The Area in Which Japan Will be Crushed. That certainly is a powerful statement. You can imagine a family buying this map at the newsstand to look at while listening to news of the war on the radio. The map image is really in terrible shape as you can see in the second photo.

WWII Posters Lawson Wood Illustration

I've seen these listed as war bond posters. We have a set of 10 of them. They all feature Wood's character Grandpop (which is what Mrs. Relics called her grandfather) providing advice for winning the war. There is something slightly creepy about the monkey, but here are some of our favorites.

Queen Ann Kennels by Morgan Dehills

We don't ally know anything about this etching. It came in a box of assorted things from an auction and we discovered it after we got home. They are such pretty puppies. Signed in pencil Morgan Dehills.

Lawrence E. Kupferman

Cleaning out the ole flat file and we come upon the trove of etchings by Lawrence E. Kupferman. He must have known someone in the family, there's even a portrait of a little girl that looks very much like Mr. Relic's own grandmother as a child.
