Ronald Clyne announces the wallace smith art portfolio In September 1922, Ben Hecht's FANTAZIUS MALLARE was published in a limited edition of only 2000 copies, featuring the truly magnificent series of pen and ink drawings by Wallace Smith. This volume is now virtually unknown and unattainable; I personally said $ 15.00 for the rather battered copy in my collection. ( I paid the admittedly high price simply because I felt that my collection of weird and fantastic art would not be merely be incomplete without this series - it would be practically non- existent.) Not being the type of individual who wishes to hog all the choice items I am consequently, through the expenditure of a greta deal of time and money, publishing this series of wonderful drawings for all fandom to enjoy. The folder contains all ten of the drawings, expertly lithographed on extremely heavy, glossy atook; and is unstapled, so that these pictures may be framed if desired. The portfolio also contains a page of introductory notes, and is neatly gotten up in a substantial folder. The reverse of this page is a sample of one of the pictures- but is NOT the stock used in the portfolio. I personally Consider Wallace Smith's ten drawings markedly superior to those of Virgil Finlay, Carter Paul, or Harry Clarke, ( Whose style smith's very much resembles). The lithogragy bill has been paid through $5 and $10 subscriptions on the part of individual fans-- fans who have seen these drawings and know that they are. When you have seen your set , you will know that the dollar was well. spent. just to show what I think of this set, I will make a cash refund to any fan who dislikes the portfolio enough to return it undamaged in 10 days. I don't anticipate making any refunds. Only a dollar Ronald Clyne 135 1/2 Not Gale drive, Beverly Hills, California _________________________________________ What the fans say about Wallace Smith and his drawings "Wallace Smith's work represents the some in fantasy art," Mel Brown "This is the most worthwhile fantasy project since the foundation of Arkham house." Francois T. Laney " A really beautiful selection of drawings." Walt Daugherty "Freaky I don't know know which drawing by Wallace Smith I like best ; everyone is a master portrayal of the imagination." Mike Fern " Out of the past-- resurrected for the fans of today to rave over the outer artwork of Wallace Smith." Forrest J. Ackerman " I wouldn't sell my portfolio for ten times the price."
