Good Housekeeping 3
- Bill Peckmann loaned the book of collected Good Housekeeping illustrations that were publishrf bryeen 1938 through 1944. (The illustrations actually began in 1934 and were printed complete in an interesting recent book called Mickey and the Gang which was edited by David Gerstein. That book includes so much more than these illustrations – including the text that went with the illustrations. However, I like the printing, on non-glossy paper, of the 1987 book.)
I’ve done two other posts of these illustrations (part 1, part 2) and finish them up with this piece.

From 1943 on, the illustrations became “New Tales from Old Mother Goose.”
This was a revision from “Donald Duck’s Mother Goose” that had
appeared in Mickey Mouse Magazine, published in the 1930′s.
Hank Porter and his writers dealt with a more limited subject in a
more comic-strip sense and used the two color process during the war.

I wrote a three part article on the Good Housekeeping pages at Jim Hill’s site many years ago. This link will take you to the second installment where I talk about the Alexander Gallery catalogs and the other reprintings of those pages. http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_korkis/archive/2003/06/11/1091.aspx
