Response by Gerard R. Case: For the Harrell L. Strimple Award 27 October 1992

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  20 May 2016

Extract

I started out as a commercial artist and cartoonist. One day, 32 years ago, while working for a printing plant in the art department, I saw large press sheets for a fossil book (it was the second printing, with color plates, of Fenton and Fenton's Fossil Book). I asked one of the printers for copies of the sheets. I brought them back into the department where I worked, and while on my lunch hour, I cut them apart and sewed them together to form a book of sorts.
