Illustrative Treasures





If you have read my earliest posts on this 'blog, you will know I was able to save a fairly large quantity of ephemera from destruction when my father and mother were breaking up. My father was a self-employed auctioneer and evidently salvaged printed material from his acquisitions. He gave up claim to this stuff when my mother threw him out of the house, and as a child I recognized that this stuff was special and spirited it away before my mother could add it to the bonfire of my father's other belongings.

These three prints by Willy Pogany were in a large envelope and were part of my rescue. As a young boy I was already a pictorialist and had a crush on illustrative treasures. These are signed in pencil and may be artist's proofs for a print run. I've been told that they may have been part of a promotional campaign for one of Pogany's books.

About Me

My photo
Thomas Haller Buchanan
My name is Thom Buchanan. I'm an artist and photographer. People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years. I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
View my complete profile
I intend to share many of my pictorial treasures, some not terribly rare, but terribly meaningful to me. I like to zoom in on details along the way and share what has inspired me in my career as an artist. And I would like to examine the value of pictorial images, not in terms of money, but in degrees of imagination.

I refer to myself as a pictorialist, not just in my set of skills, but in my lifelong appreciation of the skills and talents of artists, illustrators, cartoonists, sculptors, photographers, typographers, and graphic designers. I'd like to share that appreciation with anyone who stumbles into my little world.

It's a good little world!
