GEO DORIVAL
May 19th
( Georges Dorival ) 1879-1968Trois années de cours aux Arts-Déco le lancent dans la vie professionnelle. Il réalise ses premières affiches touristiques pour les compagnies de chemin de fer. Contemporain de Commarmond, Constant-Duval et Lacaze, il est l'un des spécialistes de l'affiche paysage.
En 1928, son tryptyque pour le tramway vers le Mont-Blanc indique une rupture de style. Il abandonne l'affiche pour devenir directeur artistique de la revue L'Art et la Mode. Pour la station balnéaire d'Hyères, en 1914, il dessine une affiche très structurée et en 1919, il compose celle-ci "Eze", un véritable panorama sur le cap Ferrat.

Hunchback Art
May 15th
- Thanks to Bill Peckmann, I’ve posted some of Rowland B. Wilson’s art from his Disney years (mostly The Little Mermaid artwork). Now. Bill has sent me some work from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
A second posting of this art will be forthcoming; it’s a larger size and will take more comlications in scaning.

Does it get any better than this?
She could have stepped out of Gulliver’s Travels.

The charm in these birds is also ineffably beautiful.

These two (above and below) seem to belong to Hercules.
This final piece didn’t come from The Hunchback’s artwork, but was slipped into Bill’s Package from Rowland. I’ve seen it before, but it’s always fun to see it again.

Many thanks to Bill Peckmann for sharing.
This Won't Hurt A Bit

Medical Caricatures from 1736-1932 at Lowcountry Digital Library. Other than the fact that the guy has gout, I'd say the second illustration here is just for the risqué.
