Herbert Paus
(1860 - 1944) Jim Steranko says Paus' use of color makes him "The Bob Peak of his age," Primarily a watercolorist, Paus used oils on occasion, notably for Hart Shaffner and Marx. He was also expert at pencils and inks. Poster and story artist for The Delineator by 1903, followed with large posters for Bond Bread, The Victor Company, and US Government in WWI. Ad work for Willy's Overland, American Radiator, Hart Schaffner and Marx, A & P, Certain-teed. Covers and interiors for: Pictorial Review, Collier's, Liberty, Ladies' Home Journal, American Magazine, Life, Woman's Home Companion, Popular Science, Country Life, as well as several books. "I love this guy's work - the way he outlines the figures with a thick black line. Almost makes you wish they'd never invented photography." James Lileks, commenting on an American story illustrated by Paus. Special thanks to Jeffrey Tynes for providing a 1912 article on Paus. |

Original art (19??) Paus - 016A
The text reads, "Resolved That we now know what the New England Pumpkin Pie really means. We swear to uphold its deserved fame at all times and herewith extend heartfelt thanks to M B G." There's a hand-drawn mark near this, "N A Y." Julie Pretzat Merchant contacted me about the original piece below in 2004, "Hi - I was pleased and surprised to see some of my family's Herbert Paus prints (AAA note, it's not a print) on your web site. The ones with inscriptions to Emmy Wahl were all for my Aunt Emmy, my father's aunt. She married Frederic Shaefer (the other artist mentioned in the one print). They started a printing business in NYC called Tri-Arts Press, which my father eventually inherited. I don't know the meaning of the quote you mentioned. I do know, however, that Tri-Arts put out a Christmas card esch year with an orginal illustration by Paus or Shaefer. They also seemed to have had an annual (at least) party where much revelry occured - there are several of these invitations with great original artwork as well. The quote may be referencing one of these shindigs!
