It's interesting to see how people overlap - the James O'Dea connection to Oz, etc!Bill Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258626254481978155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-17481038183091525482011-03-05T10:47:33.884-06:002011-03-05T10:47:33.884-06:00Hi Bill,
You'll want to look for a copy of ...Hi Bill,<br />You'll want to look for a copy of 'Jingleman Jack (His Pictures and Rhymes of the Callings, the Crafts and the Trades of the Times' (NY: Saalfield, 1901). This book might as well be called 'The Career Alphabet'. It is illustrated by Harry Kennedy, VERY much in the Baum Alphabet book mode, and designed by Charles Costello... the designer of Baum's Alphabets. The verse is by James O'Dea, who also wrote 'Sammy' as interpolated into the Wizard stage extravaganza. I can send scans of the covers and some internals if you like.Paul Bienvenuehttp://www.marchharebooks.comnoreply@blogger.com
