Scope and Contents: Lubell 4/9: 272 A white ink drawing (with gouache) on brown construction paper of what appear to be a group of puppets engaged in a comical, confusing brawl. Some faces, with caricatured features like large noses, can be made out, as can some notable patterns like a star pattern on one body, linings on old-fashioned leggings, and white face paint and shoes. This could be a draft or sample of the pile of discarded puppets in Punch as...

Lubell 4/9: 273

Brown ink drawing. Sketch of a puppet sobbing as the corpse of another lies across its lap, while Punch (?) sits to the left and a female puppet sits on the right.

Scope and Contents: Lubell 4/9: 277a-b Two small ink drawings. Sketches of [the village of Delphi in Greece], showing houses set on a hillside. These are one of two sets (see also Lubell 278a-c) of preliminary sketches of village scenes that were then translated into woodblock prints. The ultimate woodblock scene shows a wider angle of the scene, including a winding road and distant hills. For the woodblock print, see Lubell 279a-b. The possible title was listed in the original information given...

Scope and Contents: Lubell 4/9: 290 Ink and wash drawing. Series of twelve panels, arranged in a 4 x 3 matrix, each consisting of a depiction of the classic Greek snake-haired, winged monster Medusa. Aside from the first panel, which has a portrait of her face, eight of the other panels show her in various flying poses, along with a short and wordless narrative as we see that her face is actually a mask. In each of the panels of the polyptych, the sexual organs of the creature are aggressively...

Scope and Contents: Lubell 4/10: 294a-b Black ink drawing on rough, gray handmade paper, depicting two stylized silhouettes outlined by a black background of varying depth and solidity. The left figure appears to be an extreme caricature of a woman, with breasts appearing on her sides, while the right figure’s head-shape bends backwards in an alien fashion. The two variations on this image are very similar, though 294a uses a much thicker coating of color over a graphite pencil sketch and shades the...
