Two variations of the print “Departure” from the SoC’s 1925 Sinbad portfolio. (For a reason unknown to me, WAD titled one of these “Allegro.”) Standard pochoir technique with gouache applied through celluloid stencils with fine artist brushes & sawed-off shaving brushes.

Decoration from Joseph Hergesheimer’s “Java Head” (Knopf, 1946). WAD often cited French painter-designer Jean-Baptiste Pillement (1728–1808) as his inspiration for these. If you do not yet know Pillement’s work, go find it!

Decoration for section III opening, “Java Head” (Knopf, 1946).

Chapter opening, Robert Nathan’s “One More Spring” (The Overbrook Press, 1935). Illustration and design by WAD.

Original art and as-printed, half-title for Introduction, Book 1, Rabelais (Limited Editions Club, 1936). Original art for decoration and lettering have levels slightly altered, so it’s easier to see where he used white gouache.
