Collection Overview
Title:
Fred Lundy collection of original cartoon drawingsCreator/Contributor:
Lundy, Fred R., creatorAbstract:
Includes original drawings executed by California cartoonist and caricaturist Fred Lundy throughout his career, chiefly for
publication in magazines. Most works are preliminary sketches, studies and other unfinished drawings; only a few apparently
finished, publication-ready pieces are included. General subjects -- most treated with a humorous slant -- include war; international,
national and local California politics; religion; transportation; advertising; journalism; health; recreation; crime; sports;
science and technology; holidays; education and social customs; in addition to many other topics. Also includes a small number
of works done for prospective cartoon series El Gintaro, Gingee and Teen Craze, as well as a small number of drawings for
advertisements. Some drawings are accompanied by clippings featuring the published cartoon. Many works bear annotations
refering to the professional gag writers with whom Lundy collaborated, as well as other aspects of the cartoon trade. Also
includes one folder of personal correspondence and other papers.
