Description:

            These files, kept in alphabetical order by John DePol, document the varied contracts, commissions, and job files of his life work, from extensive collaborations with numerous private presses and institutions to gifts or commissions for individuals.  Because they represent most of DePol’s work for private presses, academic and cultural institutions, and individuals, these files are a natural extension of Series I. DePol’s Work.  As working files, they reflect all aspects of DePol’s projects, from conceptualization to execution.

            Using these files researchers may follow the development of a DePol project from the initial correspondence through the printed engraving.  In some cases research on a subject to be illustrated, drawings, transfer sketches, engraved wood blocks, proofs, and the final printed engraving are available for a particular project, such as the illustrations for Inishbream, published by Barbarian Press.  In other cases only the printed engraving may survive.

            In this series are found remnants of DePol’s early work for U. S. Banknote, Pandick Press, and L. F. White and files for his first illustrated book, Liam O’Flaherty’s Two Lovely Beasts and Other Stories (1950).

            Two of DePol’s most noted projects, the Benjamin Franklin Keepsakes Library, for which he created hundreds of illustrations, and the keepsakes created for The Typophiles, Inc. are represented by drawings, proofs and the printed keepsakes.

            DePol’s body of work for private presses is extensive.  He has illustrated books, broadsides, or keepsakes for Pickering Press, The Allen Press, The Barbarian Press, Press of Appletree Alley, Between-Hours Press, The Buttonmaker Press, The Glad Hand Press, The Golden Hind Press, The Herity Press, Pentagram Press, The Red Ozier Press, The Stone House Press, Yellow Barn Press, The Zauberberg Press, and numerous others.  In the process of working with these printers, DePol developed many life-long friendships which are reflected in the correspondence.  DePol’s connection to the private presses is also reflected in the numerous press marks which he created, sometimes by request but others he created as gifts.

            DePol has had ongoing relationships with numerous academic and cultural institutions, teaching courses or workshops, making gifts of his engravings to their libraries, and having his work exhibited in their galleries.  Most significantly he has created engravings for many of these schools, including the universities of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Syracuse, Alabama, Nebraska and Fairleigh Dickinson.  He has long been associated with the South Street Seaport Museum in New York and its Bowne & Co., Stationers, illustrating books for the press and teaching workshops.

            DePol’s contributions to his craft have been honored by the National Academy of Design, by universities, and by members of the printing world., including the 1994 festschrift published by Yellow Barn Press, John DePol: a Celebration of His Work.  These honors and other printed keepsakes recognizing his life and work are documented in this series.

            The files also reflect DePol’s interest in printing and his connections with other engravers, particularly Bernard Brussel-Smith, whom he visited in France in 1979.  Among the files are examples of the work of other engravers, from Brussel-Smith to some of the students to whom DePol taught the craft.

            The files are alphabetical with cross-references when files related to a press or individual were originally in two places.  For example, all of the files related to Neil Shaver and the Yellow Barn Press are together, rather than under both Yellow Barn Press and Shaver.
