Meyers List, Inc., Records, 1911-2005

C1426 3 boxes 2.525 linear feet
Rose, Charles H.
Incorporated as The Melody Company by Abraham Meyers in 1911, the firm was purchased in 1967 by Princeton alumnus Charles H. Rose (Class of 1950) and his wife. By offering comic strips--the plates for printing them--to small newspapers, the firm was able to secure advertising space, which it sold to national advertisers seeking wider, more regional coverage. Advertisers knew the firm as The Meyers List; newspapers knew it as International Cartoons Limited. The company was dissolved on 20 March 1997, and its printing plates were distributed to various museums and repositories, including Princeton University. Consists of assorted records of the American Melody Company and its corporate aliases (Meyers List Inc. and International Cartoons Limited), including minute and stock books, corporate seals, scrapbooks of cartoon strips, copies of contracts with advertisers, trademark registrations, and dissolution documents.

This subseries contains photographs, slides, and negatives that are arranged based on their use as research materials or published images for Félix Candela: Engineer, Builder, Structural Artist, a scholarly book on Candela and his work by Princeton professors Maria Garlock and David Billington, which was published by the Princeton University Art Museum in 2008, in conjunction with an exhibition of the same title that ran from October 10, 2008 through February 22, 2009. While materials in this subseries also depict the construction and completion of many of Candela's major building projects, their arrangement reflects their use in the book rather than their original order in Candela's personal papers. This subseries includes a group of images published in the book, arranged by its authors by chapter and marked with the corresponding figure number. Occasionally, images are accompanied by notes about their location in the original arrangement. Also present are topical photographic files based on major projects or types of structures, which formed focal points for the book.
Folder
This series contains materials related to Félix Candela's professional work as an architect, structural engineer, and master builder, both for his own company and as a technical advisor for other firms. Included are many black-and-white and color photographs, slides, negatives, and transparencies showing Candela's finished structures and works under construction, along with some architectural drawings, sketches, and designs, and a smaller quantity of maps, calculations, and project files pertaining to specific buildings. Rather than serving as traditional architectural project files, the materials in this series document the design, construction, and completed forms of many of Candela's buildings, primarily through photographs, and secondarily, through Candela's architectural drawings and specifications, which provide insight into his design process. This series includes an original run of conceptual files on specific buildings, arranged by architectural feature or theme, that contain both photographic materials and architectural drawings. Also present is a group of slides and negatives of Candela's work, along with microfilms of technical articles related to his projects, that he organized separately by medium, and additionally, a group of Candela's photographic materials, which were later arranged based on their use for research and publication in a book by Maria Garlock and David Billington, Félix Candela: Engineer, Builder, Structural Artist (Princeton University Art Museum, 2008). These divisions were preserved in order to maintain contextual evidence regarding use and original organization. Researchers looking for photographs of a specific building should note that relevant materials may therefore be present in all three subseries.
File
Box 14, Folder 1-2
