Greetings all,
I'm writing a biography of W. A. Dwiggins (1880-1956) who was a graphic designer, typeface designer, and illustrator. Although he is best known for books and typefaces, his early career was in advertising. In 1921-22 he did a substantial amount of work for Dominion Atlantic. If anyone has materials from this period -- could be an ad, a company magazine, a timetable, even a logo -- I would be very interested in seeing scans or digital photos of same. All of Dwiggins' papers are at the Boston Public Library but I have yet to come across anything for DAR, only the brief entries in his work journals that he was doing jobs for them.
With thanks,
Bruce
