Seibel was the editorial page cartoonist for the \n         Richmond Times-Dispatchfor\n         forty-two years, from 1926 to 1968. A native of Durhambille,\n         New York, he turned to art early, studying cartooning by mail,\n         and eventually attending the Art Students League in New York\n         City. But it was some years before he could find employment in\n         the art field, and he worked at a number of other jobs before\n         obtaining a position as a commercial artist.","While working as a commercial artist, Seibel began to\n         submit cartoons to the \n         Utica Herald-Dispatch,and some\n         were used. Later, he obtained, on the strength of his Utica\n         cartoons, a position as cartoonist with the \n         Albany Knickerbocker-Presswhere\n         he remained for ten years. In 1926, he answered an\n         advertisement for a cartoonist with the \n         Times-Dispatch,was hired, and\n         settled down quite comfortably in Richmond, becoming perhaps\n         more \"Southern\" in his attitudes and his work than many\n         natives.","For the salient facts of his life, one may consult \n         Who's Whoand other standard\n         reference works. A very affectionate view of Mr. Seibel was\n         presented by Charles McDowell in the \n         Times-Dispatch,28 July 1968, to\n         mark his retirement. There is also an article on Seibel in the\n         Spring 1977 issue of the \n         Virginia Cavalcade.Boxes 85 and\n         86 of the collection contain a good deal of personal material\n         including clippings about Seibel and his work, and very early\n         drawings and art school lessons.","This collection consists of original cartoons and research\n         files of the political cartoonist Fred O. Seibel. Mr. Seibel\n         was often complimented on his drawings of trees and other\n         subjects from nature. Naturally this reflects his artistic\n         ability, but Mr. Seibel maintained extremely large reference\n         files which ensured that he would have pictures and drawings\n         to consult before beginning his own cartoon. If he needed an\n         elm in the drawing, he had photographs and drawings of elm\n         trees on file. Every conceivable subject for use in a\n         political cartoon was carefully filed in one of the number of\n         source files of subject material that Mr. Seibel\n         maintained.","More important than these general referencce files to the\n         general researcher are the chronological files of Mr. Seibel's\n         cartoons which are fairly complete from 1937 through his\n         retirement in January 1968. Other reference files of\n         importance include those which Mr. Seibel kept on the work of\n         other cartoonists organized under the name of the cartoonists,\n         or under the subjects treated. The latter files provide quick\n         reference to editorial cartoons on every subject from the pens\n         of almost every cartoonist working during Mr. Seibel's active\n         career.","There are sixteen separate \"Sources, Subjects\" series of\n         files. They have been boxed here exactly as they were found in\n         Mr. Seibel's own files. The researcher will quickly note that\n         many of the individual series overlap each other in what is\n         filed. Several series may need to be searched to find all of\n         the cartoons pertinent to one's interest.","Since 1946, Mr. Seibel has given a number of groups of his\n         original cartoon drawings to the University. Probably 3,000\n         were in the collection at the time that the final group was\n         brought to Charlottesville together with the research files in\n         1968. The entire collection of originals now numbers about\n         6,000 items. The cartoons have all been arranged\n         chronologically except for several groups arranged by subject\n         apparently when they were used for one of the several\n         exhibitions of Mr. Seibel's work that have been given at the\n         Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, and elsewhere.","Since Mr. Seibel drew well over 14,000 cartoons for the \n         Times-Dispatchduring his\n         career, the University has over forty percent of the drawings.\n         The chances are very good, then, that the University's\n         collection may include the original drawing which a researcher\n         may wish to have copied to illustrate an article or book.","Finally, Mr. Seibel also left his office with all of its\n         equipent and decorations for the Library to clear out after he\n         had removed the few items which he wished to take to his home.\n         Therefore, we have included in the collections such items as\n         would be useful for exhibitions of the drawings, and a list of\n         this \"Miscellany\" (including his drawing board, framed\n         pictures and cartoons from his office, globe, pen knives,\n         etc.) is appended to the list.","The major portion of this inventory consists of a checklist\n         of the contents of each series of the research files and other\n         miscellaneous series.","Grss","N[egroes]","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Fred O.

Seibel was the editorial page cartoonist for the \n         Richmond Times-Dispatchfor\n         forty-two years, from 1926 to 1968. A native of Durhambille,\n         New York, he turned to art early, studying cartooning by mail,\n         and eventually attending the Art Students League in New York\n         City. But it was some years before he could find employment in\n         the art field, and he worked at a number of other jobs before\n         obtaining a position as a commercial artist.","While working as a commercial artist, Seibel began to\n         submit cartoons to the \n         Utica Herald-Dispatch,and some\n         were used. Later, he obtained, on the strength of his Utica\n         cartoons, a position as cartoonist with the \n         Albany Knickerbocker-Presswhere\n         he remained for ten years. In 1926, he answered an\n         advertisement for a cartoonist with the \n         Times-Dispatch,was hired, and\n         settled down quite comfortably in Richmond, becoming perhaps\n         more \"Southern\" in his attitudes and his work than many\n         natives.","For the salient facts of his life, one may consult \n         Who's Whoand other standard\n         reference works. A very affectionate view of Mr. Seibel was\n         presented by Charles McDowell in the \n         Times-Dispatch,28 July 1968, to\n         mark his retirement. There is also an article on Seibel in the\n         Spring 1977 issue of the \n         Virginia Cavalcade.Boxes 85 and\n         86 of the collection contain a good deal of personal material\n         including clippings about Seibel and his work, and very early\n         drawings and art school lessons.","This collection consists of original cartoons and research\n         files of the political cartoonist Fred O. Seibel. Mr. Seibel\n         was often complimented on his drawings of trees and other\n         subjects from nature. Naturally this reflects his artistic\n         ability, but Mr. Seibel maintained extremely large reference\n         files which ensured that he would have pictures and drawings\n         to consult before beginning his own cartoon. If he needed an\n         elm in the drawing, he had photographs and drawings of elm\n         trees on file. Every conceivable subject for use in a\n         political cartoon was carefully filed in one of the number of\n         source files of subject material that Mr. Seibel\n         maintained.","More important than these general referencce files to the\n         general researcher are the chronological files of Mr. Seibel's\n         cartoons which are fairly complete from 1937 through his\n         retirement in January 1968. Other reference files of\n         importance include those which Mr. Seibel kept on the work of\n         other cartoonists organized under the name of the cartoonists,\n         or under the subjects treated. The latter files provide quick\n         reference to editorial cartoons on every subject from the pens\n         of almost every cartoonist working during Mr. Seibel's active\n         career.","There are sixteen separate \"Sources, Subjects\" series of\n         files. They have been boxed here exactly as they were found in\n         Mr. Seibel's own files. The researcher will quickly note that\n         many of the individual series overlap each other in what is\n         filed. Several series may need to be searched to find all of\n         the cartoons pertinent to one's interest.","Since 1946, Mr. Seibel has given a number of groups of his\n         original cartoon drawings to the University. Probably 3,000\n         were in the collection at the time that the final group was\n         brought to Charlottesville together with the research files in\n         1968. The entire collection of originals now numbers about\n         6,000 items. The cartoons have all been arranged\n         chronologically except for several groups arranged by subject\n         apparently when they were used for one of the several\n         exhibitions of Mr. Seibel's work that have been given at the\n         Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, and elsewhere.","Since Mr. Seibel drew well over 14,000 cartoons for the \n         Times-Dispatchduring his\n         career, the University has over forty percent of the drawings.\n         The chances are very good, then, that the University's\n         collection may include the original drawing which a researcher\n         may wish to have copied to illustrate an article or book.","Finally, Mr. Seibel also left his office with all of its\n         equipent and decorations for the Library to clear out after he\n         had removed the few items which he wished to take to his home.\n         Therefore, we have included in the collections such items as\n         would be useful for exhibitions of the drawings, and a list of\n         this \"Miscellany\" (including his drawing board, framed\n         pictures and cartoons from his office, globe, pen knives,\n         etc.) is appended to the list.","The major portion of this inventory consists of a checklist\n         of the contents of each series of the research files and other\n         miscellaneous series.","Grss","N[egroes]","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Fred O.

Seibel was the editorial page cartoonist for the \n         Richmond Times-Dispatchfor\n         forty-two years, from 1926 to 1968. A native of Durhambille,\n         New York, he turned to art early, studying cartooning by mail,\n         and eventually attending the Art Students League in New York\n         City. But it was some years before he could find employment in\n         the art field, and he worked at a number of other jobs before\n         obtaining a position as a commercial artist.","While working as a commercial artist, Seibel began to\n         submit cartoons to the \n         Utica Herald-Dispatch,and some\n         were used. Later, he obtained, on the strength of his Utica\n         cartoons, a position as cartoonist with the \n         Albany Knickerbocker-Presswhere\n         he remained for ten years. In 1926, he answered an\n         advertisement for a cartoonist with the \n         Times-Dispatch,was hired, and\n         settled down quite comfortably in Richmond, becoming perhaps\n         more \"Southern\" in his attitudes and his work than many\n         natives.","For the salient facts of his life, one may consult \n         Who's Whoand other standard\n         reference works. A very affectionate view of Mr. Seibel was\n         presented by Charles McDowell in the \n         Times-Dispatch,28 July 1968, to\n         mark his retirement. There is also an article on Seibel in the\n         Spring 1977 issue of the \n         Virginia Cavalcade.Boxes 85 and\n         86 of the collection contain a good deal of personal material\n         including clippings about Seibel and his work, and very early\n         drawings and art school lessons.","This collection consists of original cartoons and research\n         files of the political cartoonist Fred O. Seibel. Mr. Seibel\n         was often complimented on his drawings of trees and other\n         subjects from nature. Naturally this reflects his artistic\n         ability, but Mr. Seibel maintained extremely large reference\n         files which ensured that he would have pictures and drawings\n         to consult before beginning his own cartoon. If he needed an\n         elm in the drawing, he had photographs and drawings of elm\n         trees on file. Every conceivable subject for use in a\n         political cartoon was carefully filed in one of the number of\n         source files of subject material that Mr. Seibel\n         maintained.","More important than these general referencce files to the\n         general researcher are the chronological files of Mr. Seibel's\n         cartoons which are fairly complete from 1937 through his\n         retirement in January 1968. Other reference files of\n         importance include those which Mr. Seibel kept on the work of\n         other cartoonists organized under the name of the cartoonists,\n         or under the subjects treated. The latter files provide quick\n         reference to editorial cartoons on every subject from the pens\n         of almost every cartoonist working during Mr. Seibel's active\n         career.","There are sixteen separate \"Sources, Subjects\" series of\n         files. They have been boxed here exactly as they were found in\n         Mr. Seibel's own files. The researcher will quickly note that\n         many of the individual series overlap each other in what is\n         filed. Several series may need to be searched to find all of\n         the cartoons pertinent to one's interest.","Since 1946, Mr. Seibel has given a number of groups of his\n         original cartoon drawings to the University. Probably 3,000\n         were in the collection at the time that the final group was\n         brought to Charlottesville together with the research files in\n         1968. The entire collection of originals now numbers about\n         6,000 items. The cartoons have all been arranged\n         chronologically except for several groups arranged by subject\n         apparently when they were used for one of the several\n         exhibitions of Mr. Seibel's work that have been given at the\n         Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, and elsewhere.","Since Mr. Seibel drew well over 14,000 cartoons for the \n         Times-Dispatchduring his\n         career, the University has over forty percent of the drawings.\n         The chances are very good, then, that the University's\n         collection may include the original drawing which a researcher\n         may wish to have copied to illustrate an article or book.","Finally, Mr. Seibel also left his office with all of its\n         equipent and decorations for the Library to clear out after he\n         had removed the few items which he wished to take to his home.\n         Therefore, we have included in the collections such items as\n         would be useful for exhibitions of the drawings, and a list of\n         this \"Miscellany\" (including his drawing board, framed\n         pictures and cartoons from his office, globe, pen knives,\n         etc.) is appended to the list.","The major portion of this inventory consists of a checklist\n         of the contents of each series of the research files and other\n         miscellaneous series.","Grss","N[egroes]","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Fred O.

Seibel was the editorial page cartoonist for the \n         Richmond Times-Dispatchfor\n         forty-two years, from 1926 to 1968. A native of Durhambille,\n         New York, he turned to art early, studying cartooning by mail,\n         and eventually attending the Art Students League in New York\n         City. But it was some years before he could find employment in\n         the art field, and he worked at a number of other jobs before\n         obtaining a position as a commercial artist.","While working as a commercial artist, Seibel began to\n         submit cartoons to the \n         Utica Herald-Dispatch,and some\n         were used. Later, he obtained, on the strength of his Utica\n         cartoons, a position as cartoonist with the \n         Albany Knickerbocker-Presswhere\n         he remained for ten years. In 1926, he answered an\n         advertisement for a cartoonist with the \n         Times-Dispatch,was hired, and\n         settled down quite comfortably in Richmond, becoming perhaps\n         more \"Southern\" in his attitudes and his work than many\n         natives.","For the salient facts of his life, one may consult \n         Who's Whoand other standard\n         reference works. A very affectionate view of Mr. Seibel was\n         presented by Charles McDowell in the \n         Times-Dispatch,28 July 1968, to\n         mark his retirement. There is also an article on Seibel in the\n         Spring 1977 issue of the \n         Virginia Cavalcade.Boxes 85 and\n         86 of the collection contain a good deal of personal material\n         including clippings about Seibel and his work, and very early\n         drawings and art school lessons.","This collection consists of original cartoons and research\n         files of the political cartoonist Fred O.

Seibel. Mr. Seibel\n         was often complimented on his drawings of trees and other\n         subjects from nature. Naturally this reflects his artistic\n         ability, but Mr. Seibel maintained extremely large reference\n         files which ensured that he would have pictures and drawings\n         to consult before beginning his own cartoon. If he needed an\n         elm in the drawing, he had photographs and drawings of elm\n         trees on file. Every conceivable subject for use in a\n         political cartoon was carefully filed in one of the number of\n         source files of subject material that Mr. Seibel\n         maintained.","More important than these general referencce files to the\n         general researcher are the chronological files of Mr. Seibel's\n         cartoons which are fairly complete from 1937 through his\n         retirement in January 1968. Other reference files of\n         importance include those which Mr. Seibel kept on the work of\n         other cartoonists organized under the name of the cartoonists,\n         or under the subjects treated. The latter files provide quick\n         reference to editorial cartoons on every subject from the pens\n         of almost every cartoonist working during Mr. Seibel's active\n         career.","There are sixteen separate \"Sources, Subjects\" series of\n         files. They have been boxed here exactly as they were found in\n         Mr. Seibel's own files. The researcher will quickly note that\n         many of the individual series overlap each other in what is\n         filed. Several series may need to be searched to find all of\n         the cartoons pertinent to one's interest.","Since 1946, Mr. Seibel has given a number of groups of his\n         original cartoon drawings to the University. Probably 3,000\n         were in the collection at the time that the final group was\n         brought to Charlottesville together with the research files in\n         1968. The entire collection of originals now numbers about\n         6,000 items. The cartoons have all been arranged\n         chronologically except for several groups arranged by subject\n         apparently when they were used for one of the several\n         exhibitions of Mr. Seibel's work that have been given at the\n         Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, and elsewhere.","Since Mr. Seibel drew well over 14,000 cartoons for the \n         Times-Dispatchduring his\n         career, the University has over forty percent of the drawings.\n         The chances are very good, then, that the University's\n         collection may include the original drawing which a researcher\n         may wish to have copied to illustrate an article or book.","Finally, Mr. Seibel also left his office with all of its\n         equipent and decorations for the Library to clear out after he\n         had removed the few items which he wished to take to his home.\n         Therefore, we have included in the collections such items as\n         would be useful for exhibitions of the drawings, and a list of\n         this \"Miscellany\" (including his drawing board, framed\n         pictures and cartoons from his office, globe, pen knives,\n         etc.) is appended to the list.","The major portion of this inventory consists of a checklist\n         of the contents of each series of the research files and other\n         miscellaneous series.","Grss","N[egroes]","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Fred O.

Seibel was the editorial page cartoonist for the \n         Richmond Times-Dispatchfor\n         forty-two years, from 1926 to 1968. A native of Durhambille,\n         New York, he turned to art early, studying cartooning by mail,\n         and eventually attending the Art Students League in New York\n         City. But it was some years before he could find employment in\n         the art field, and he worked at a number of other jobs before\n         obtaining a position as a commercial artist.","While working as a commercial artist, Seibel began to\n         submit cartoons to the \n         Utica Herald-Dispatch,and some\n         were used. Later, he obtained, on the strength of his Utica\n         cartoons, a position as cartoonist with the \n         Albany Knickerbocker-Presswhere\n         he remained for ten years. In 1926, he answered an\n         advertisement for a cartoonist with the \n         Times-Dispatch,was hired, and\n         settled down quite comfortably in Richmond, becoming perhaps\n         more \"Southern\" in his attitudes and his work than many\n         natives.","For the salient facts of his life, one may consult \n         Who's Whoand other standard\n         reference works. A very affectionate view of Mr. Seibel was\n         presented by Charles McDowell in the \n         Times-Dispatch,28 July 1968, to\n         mark his retirement. There is also an article on Seibel in the\n         Spring 1977 issue of the \n         Virginia Cavalcade.Boxes 85 and\n         86 of the collection contain a good deal of personal material\n         including clippings about Seibel and his work, and very early\n         drawings and art school lessons.","This collection consists of original cartoons and research\n         files of the political cartoonist Fred O. Seibel. Mr. Seibel\n         was often complimented on his drawings of trees and other\n         subjects from nature. Naturally this reflects his artistic\n         ability, but Mr. Seibel maintained extremely large reference\n         files which ensured that he would have pictures and drawings\n         to consult before beginning his own cartoon. If he needed an\n         elm in the drawing, he had photographs and drawings of elm\n         trees on file. Every conceivable subject for use in a\n         political cartoon was carefully filed in one of the number of\n         source files of subject material that Mr. Seibel\n         maintained.","More important than these general referencce files to the\n         general researcher are the chronological files of Mr. Seibel's\n         cartoons which are fairly complete from 1937 through his\n         retirement in January 1968. Other reference files of\n         importance include those which Mr. Seibel kept on the work of\n         other cartoonists organized under the name of the cartoonists,\n         or under the subjects treated. The latter files provide quick\n         reference to editorial cartoons on every subject from the pens\n         of almost every cartoonist working during Mr. Seibel's active\n         career.","There are sixteen separate \"Sources, Subjects\" series of\n         files. They have been boxed here exactly as they were found in\n         Mr. Seibel's own files. The researcher will quickly note that\n         many of the individual series overlap each other in what is\n         filed. Several series may need to be searched to find all of\n         the cartoons pertinent to one's interest.","Since 1946, Mr. Seibel has given a number of groups of his\n         original cartoon drawings to the University. Probably 3,000\n         were in the collection at the time that the final group was\n         brought to Charlottesville together with the research files in\n         1968. The entire collection of originals now numbers about\n         6,000 items. The cartoons have all been arranged\n         chronologically except for several groups arranged by subject\n         apparently when they were used for one of the several\n         exhibitions of Mr. Seibel's work that have been given at the\n         Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, and elsewhere.","Since Mr. Seibel drew well over 14,000 cartoons for the \n         Times-Dispatchduring his\n         career, the University has over forty percent of the drawings.\n         The chances are very good, then, that the University's\n         collection may include the original drawing which a researcher\n         may wish to have copied to illustrate an article or book.","Finally, Mr. Seibel also left his office with all of its\n         equipent and decorations for the Library to clear out after he\n         had removed the few items which he wished to take to his home.\n         Therefore, we have included in the collections such items as\n         would be useful for exhibitions of the drawings, and a list of\n         this \"Miscellany\" (including his drawing board, framed\n         pictures and cartoons from his office, globe, pen knives,\n         etc.) is appended to the list.","The major portion of this inventory consists of a checklist\n         of the contents of each series of the research files and other\n         miscellaneous series.","Grss","N[egroes]","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Fred O.

Seibel was the editorial page cartoonist for the \n         Richmond Times-Dispatchfor\n         forty-two years, from 1926 to 1968. A native of Durhambille,\n         New York, he turned to art early, studying cartooning by mail,\n         and eventually attending the Art Students League in New York\n         City. But it was some years before he could find employment in\n         the art field, and he worked at a number of other jobs before\n         obtaining a position as a commercial artist.","While working as a commercial artist, Seibel began to\n         submit cartoons to the \n         Utica Herald-Dispatch,and some\n         were used. Later, he obtained, on the strength of his Utica\n         cartoons, a position as cartoonist with the \n         Albany Knickerbocker-Presswhere\n         he remained for ten years. In 1926, he answered an\n         advertisement for a cartoonist with the \n         Times-Dispatch,was hired, and\n         settled down quite comfortably in Richmond, becoming perhaps\n         more \"Southern\" in his attitudes and his work than many\n         natives.","For the salient facts of his life, one may consult \n         Who's Whoand other standard\n         reference works. A very affectionate view of Mr. Seibel was\n         presented by Charles McDowell in the \n         Times-Dispatch,28 July 1968, to\n         mark his retirement. There is also an article on Seibel in the\n         Spring 1977 issue of the \n         Virginia Cavalcade.Boxes 85 and\n         86 of the collection contain a good deal of personal material\n         including clippings about Seibel and his work, and very early\n         drawings and art school lessons.","This collection consists of original cartoons and research\n         files of the political cartoonist Fred O. Seibel. Mr. Seibel\n         was often complimented on his drawings of trees and other\n         subjects from nature. Naturally this reflects his artistic\n         ability, but Mr. Seibel maintained extremely large reference\n         files which ensured that he would have pictures and drawings\n         to consult before beginning his own cartoon. If he needed an\n         elm in the drawing, he had photographs and drawings of elm\n         trees on file. Every conceivable subject for use in a\n         political cartoon was carefully filed in one of the number of\n         source files of subject material that Mr. Seibel\n         maintained.","More important than these general referencce files to the\n         general researcher are the chronological files of Mr. Seibel's\n         cartoons which are fairly complete from 1937 through his\n         retirement in January 1968. Other reference files of\n         importance include those which Mr. Seibel kept on the work of\n         other cartoonists organized under the name of the cartoonists,\n         or under the subjects treated. The latter files provide quick\n         reference to editorial cartoons on every subject from the pens\n         of almost every cartoonist working during Mr. Seibel's active\n         career.","There are sixteen separate \"Sources, Subjects\" series of\n         files. They have been boxed here exactly as they were found in\n         Mr. Seibel's own files. The researcher will quickly note that\n         many of the individual series overlap each other in what is\n         filed. Several series may need to be searched to find all of\n         the cartoons pertinent to one's interest.","Since 1946, Mr. Seibel has given a number of groups of his\n         original cartoon drawings to the University. Probably 3,000\n         were in the collection at the time that the final group was\n         brought to Charlottesville together with the research files in\n         1968. The entire collection of originals now numbers about\n         6,000 items. The cartoons have all been arranged\n         chronologically except for several groups arranged by subject\n         apparently when they were used for one of the several\n         exhibitions of Mr. Seibel's work that have been given at the\n         Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, and elsewhere.","Since Mr. Seibel drew well over 14,000 cartoons for the \n         Times-Dispatchduring his\n         career, the University has over forty percent of the drawings.\n         The chances are very good, then, that the University's\n         collection may include the original drawing which a researcher\n         may wish to have copied to illustrate an article or book.","Finally, Mr. Seibel also left his office with all of its\n         equipent and decorations for the Library to clear out after he\n         had removed the few items which he wished to take to his home.\n         Therefore, we have included in the collections such items as\n         would be useful for exhibitions of the drawings, and a list of\n         this \"Miscellany\" (including his drawing board, framed\n         pictures and cartoons from his office, globe, pen knives,\n         etc.) is appended to the list.","The major portion of this inventory consists of a checklist\n         of the contents of each series of the research files and other\n         miscellaneous series.","Grss","N[egroes]","English"],"collection_title_tesim":["Fred O.
