Biography

Vance Bryden Gerry was born August 21, 1929 in Pasadena, California, to Francis Bryden Gerry and Clella White Gerry. He was interested in art and drawing from a very young age. As a teenager during World War II, he worked for Grant Dahlstrom of the Castle Press, where he learned the basics of printing. In a 1989 oral history, Gerry described himself as a "pretty bad student" who had "always thought [he] would be a commercial artist." He studied at both Woodbury College and the Art Center for Design; later, after serving in the Korean War, he attended Chouinard Art Institute for 2 years with funding from the G.I. Bill.
Realizing he was unlikely to find work as a magazine illustrator, Gerry left Chouinard and began working as a layout and story sketch artist at Disney Studios in 1955. Over the years, Gerry would retire and then return to Disney several times, often coming back to work as a consultant for specific films. During his time with Disney, Gerry contributed to films including Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, The Jungle Book, Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honey Tree, The Sword in the Stone, and Beauty and the Beast.
In 1956, Vance Gerry married Mary Blessing Palmer in Los Angeles. The daughter of trade magazine publisher Russell Palmer and Mona McCarthy Palmer, Mary grew up in Altadena and attended Mayfield Senior School, Cal State Los Angeles, and USC. She worked as law firm secretary and as an administrative assistant at the Mayfield School, where she also taught classes in Business and History. Her interests in gardening, cooking, horses and dogs (especially Cocker Spaniels) often appear in Vance Gerry's work, both in his sketchbooks documenting their life and travels, and in his printed work.
Relatively early in his career at Disney, Gerry began thinking about printing as something he could do at home in his own time, and in the early 1960s, Mary gave him a font of type as a Christmas gift. In the early days of Vance's printing career, Mary would assist with binding and other work, though her work in this area tapered off over time. Throughout the early 1960s, Vance would print very small editions of works in the public domain or by friends under the name of the Peach Pit Press. In 1967, he moved the press out of their house and into a building in South Laguna in Orange County; he and Mary renamed it the Weather Bird Press.
Between 1968 and about 1994, Vance moved between Laguna, Pasadena, and Fallbrook multiple times, and set up (and dismantled) several different incarnations of the Weather Bird Press. He worked briefly in partnership with printer Patrick Reagh from 1980-1981, where Mary worked as their bookkeeper. Though he did some commercial work at various points in his career, much of Gerry's printed work was either completely self-generated (he wrote several books under the pseudonym Bunston Quayles, in addition to writing under his own name), or was printed for friends, groups such as the Rounce and Coffin Club, or other fine press publishers, such as Herb Yellin's Lord John Press. Many of his printed books were also illustrated by him and he was well known for his mastery of pochoir (a stencil technique).
In addition to printing, Gerry was a serious toy train collector and created his own line of historic figurines under the name Rainyday.
Gerry died March 5, 2005 in Pasadena, California. Mary Palmer Gerry died in 2011.

Processing History

This collection was originally described and physically arranged in 1997 by Lori Chin. Most materials currently housed under the call number Press coll. Archives Weather Bird were described at that time.
In 2022, Rebecca Fenning Marschall reorganized the legacy finding aid to this collection, and also cataloged all additional Gerry material acquired since 2000.

Scope and Content

This collection consists of the artistic and commercial output of Vance Gerry's Weather Bird Press from about 1966 until Gerry's death in 2005. Though there are some personal materials, as well as documentation of Gerry's work for Disney and his extensive interests in toy trains, most material here relates to the work of the Weather Bird Press.
The largest portion of this collection comprises Gerry's pre-publication production files for his various projects, and include drawings, proofs, dummies, correspondence, research files, pochoir stencils, and typography studies, as well as paper samples and fabric swatches. Because Gerry kept all materials related to a project filed together, it is possible to trace his development of a project and his work processes through his files. The files for projects such as The Standing and the Waiting, The Butterfly's Ball and Grasshopper's Feast, and San Pasqual Press are particularly extensive, though not all projects are documented to the same extent. The Clark Library owns an large collection of Gerry's printed work; these books and other works are cataloged individually and can be found through UC Library Search . Duplicate copies of printed books are housed and enumerated in Series 1 of this finding aid.
Series 2 of this finding aid contains Gerry's sketchbooks and notebooks, which document Gerry's creative process beyond his printing activities. Though there are sketches, drawings and other things related to his printing work, they also contain glimpses into Gerry's other interests, especially the world of toy trains and historical machinery.
Series 3 and 4 contain a small number of Gerry's other files, including some of his printing-related correspondence with booksellers and librarians, as well as with other printers, such as John Randle of the Whittington Press. A small collection of cards from artist Marion Kronfeld to Gerry are also described here. Series 3 also contains some of Gerry's research and topical files.

Arrangement

This collection is arranged in 4 series: (Series 1) Publications and Production Materials; (Series 2) Sketchbooks and Notebooks; (Series 3) Files, Notes, and Clippings; and (Series 4) Correspondence.
Series 1: Publications and Production Materials makes up the vast majority of this collection. Vance Gerry's original organizational structure has been lost, but his general filing system gathered together all materials produced for a specific project in an envelope or folder. We have physically separated oversize items for preservation reasons, and Gerry's original file folders and envelopes for organizing these items have been retained in many cases.

Publication Rights

Copyright has not been assigned to the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, UCLA. All requests for permission to publish or quote from manuscripts must be submitted in writing to the Librarian. Permission for publication is given on behalf of the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library as the owner of the physical items and is not intended to include or imply permission of the copyright holder, which must also be obtained.

Scope and Contents

Materials in this series comprise Vance Gerry's research and personal files as well as miscellaneous articles, notes, and clippings related to him.
