This week I am on vacation, so I humbly offer you the next few days of entries with information courtesy of the Experience Columbus website from the Columbus Chamber of Commerce/Greater Columbus Convention and Visitors’ Bureau. I will return refreshed with much more new and interesting information on Columbus, on Monday, Sept. 10th.
“The Ohio State University and Thurber House proudly present the first public showing of Thurber: Unpublished and Uncensored. Sex, War and Dogs, original drawings by author, humorist and New Yorker cartoonist James Thurber. The vast majority of the collection have never been published and most have never before been seen. The selections from the 68 drawings will be on display at the Thurber Center, located next to the Thurber House and Museum. The James Thurber drawings selected from the Ohio State University Rare Books & Manuscripts library encompass nearly two thirds of the original drawings donated to the university from the estate of Nora Sayre, renowned film critic and daughter of Joel Sayre, James Thurber’s colleague and friend from the New Yorker. The drawings on display (circa 1935-1945) include those bordering on the risque, the libelous, and the sardonic.”
