BIOGRAPHICAL
STATEMENT
John Grossman was born in Des Moines, Iowa, in
1932. He taught himself to draw by
copying Buck Rogers comics and science fiction pulp magazine
illustrations. A commercial art major in
high school, John received a scholarship to the Minneapolis School of Art in 1950. After service in the military, he became a
commercial artist in San Francisco. John
then studied at the Sorbonne in Paris from 1956-1958. Returning to California and the graphic arts
field, he taught lettering and design at the San Francisco Art Institute from
1960-1966. He also painted in oils,
focusing on landscapes; his works are now in public and private
collections. John was appointed to the
California Arts Commission by Gov. Ronald Reagan in 1967, serving as vice
chairman and then as chairman from 1969-1972.
In l974, a chance visit to an antique shop inspired
John to begin collecting ephemera, including postcards, labels, trade cards, Valentines,
and so much more. In 1985, John and his
wife, Carolyn, established The Gifted Line, a giftware and licensing company
that offered products in the marketplace designed from images from his
collection. They operated the business until 1998.
Among other publications, John is the co-author of A Victorian Scrapbook, Joy to
the World, A Victorian Christmas,
Forget-Me-Nots, Parlor Cats, Nonsense and
Common Sense, and We Wish You a Merry
Christmas, all of which show extensive imagery from his collection. He is the author of a new work (2008), Christmas Curiosities; Odd, Dark and Forgotten Christmas, published
by Stewart, Tabori & Chang. With
Laura Alders and Holly Sudduth, John created Christmas stamps and Love stamps
for the United States Postal Service.
Articles on John Grossman, his collection, and
products designed by him or under his direction have appeared in Cigar Aficionado, Collector's Showcase, Gift
& Stationery Business, Holiday
Crafts, USA Today, and Victoria. A member of the Ephemera Society (U.K.) and
the Ephemera Society of America, John was the recipient of the 1990 Maurice
Rickards Award presented by the American society for his promotion of the
public awareness of ephemera. He has
given papers at several ephemera conferences.
John Grossman died in 2016.
Carolyn Grossman is a watercolor artist, and a graphic designer
using images from the collection as a basis for her extensive design
portfolio. She has been the Director of
Licensing for The Collection since 1999.
She is also a member of the Ephemera Society of America and collects
Victorian women accessories.
SCOPE AND
CONTENT
The John and Carolyn Grossman Collection contains
more than 250,000 printed and handwritten paper artifacts—chiefly lithography
and chromolithography—from the 1800s and 1900s.
Many kinds of ephemera are represented, including calendars, greeting
cards, trade cards, product labels, paper dolls, tickets, postcards, scrap,
scrapbooks, sheet music, and a large collection of cigar box labels. These objects have colorful images that
portray the customs, attitudes and ideals of Victorian and Edwardian life:
innocent children, garden-fresh flowers, romantic couples, holiday traditions,
fashionable women, anthropomorphic animals, and cigar-smoking gentlemen. The cigar
label portion of the collection contains approximately 80,000 items, including
cigar bands, cigar boxes, embossing dies, lithographic stones, progressive
proof books, and proof sheets. In addition, there are more than 200 original
watercolor sketches for cigar label art by commercial artists Henry Maier, John
Fitz, William Momberger and Carl Mummert.
As well, the collection includes puzzles, games,
Christmas and Halloween decorations, children’s books, design books, product
boxes (many for pencils and pen nibs), marriage certificates, Reward of Merit
cards, and prints. Original watercolor
art, lithographic stones, embossing dies, proofs and progressive proof booklets
demonstrate the chromolithography process.
In addition, there are samples of ribbons, textiles, wallpaper, and
stationery, as well as catalogs for machine-made lace. Photographs of Christmas trees and children
with their gifts are also present. Most
of the images span one hundred years, from 1820 to 1920, but a few printed
paper artifacts date from the 18th century, and the collection includes cigar
box labels printed as late as 1964.
The Grossman
Collection includes archives from the George Schlegel Lithographing Corp.
(1849-c.1960). Its contents document the
creative output of this New York printing firm that was owned and operated by
four generations of the Schlegel family. Original label art, keyline drawings,
progressive proofs, lithographic stones, cigar bands, office file and shop file
labels, title certificates, title folders, title registration cards, bills of
sale and letters of correspondence between Schlegel employees, clients and
jobbers comprise this special group.
Another
special group within the Grossman Collection is materials documenting the
history of the greeting card industry based in and around Worcester,
Massachusetts, in the 19th century.
This special collection contains greeting cards, fancy scrap, lace
paper, original production art and business documents. It documents an early chapter in the
development of a greeting card industry in America and indicates a working
relationship between two Worcester businessmen: George C. Whitney, a Valentine
manufacturer, and E. A. Timme, a printing die maker.
ORGANIZATION
The collection is, for the most part, arranged by
type of material, and then subdivided by image.
This means that advertising items, including trade cards, product
labels, show cards, etc., are arranged by image, not by what product was being
advertised. Cards with a holiday
greeting, but not a typical holiday image, will be filed under the image not
the holiday (for example, a Christmas card with a picture of a robin is more
likely to be filed under Birds rather than Christmas).
Items are also divided by size, so scrap, greeting
cards, pictures, etc., are found in several different locations.
Cigar box labels dominate the contents of filing
cabinets 15-20, 22-27, with the George Schlegel, Inc. archive primarily in
cabinets 22-27.
The organization was accomplished by Grossman
Collection curator David H. Mihaly, who
arranged the great variety of ephemera into categories of type, image, and
size. Most of the items, excluding games
and product containers, have been place in Mylar sleeves.
LANGUAGE OF
MATERIALS
The materials are mostly in English, but also in
French, Spanish, and German.
