Copyright A. Fox 1908 Phila.

[MARSHFELLOW]

Has anybody ever seen any reference to "our" Ansley Fox tied to a publishing company in Philadelphia ??? I have not. A friend just showed me an attic find of a rather nice (non-sporting) print with " Copyright 1908 by A. Fox Phila. " printed in the lower right corner. The timing is right. Thanks-

Tomasz, for information - anyone (individual, company) can copyright an original "work" whether a print, text, etc. The copyright owner doesn't have to be a publishing company. Frank

....oh, ok Frank, thanks...........does anybody know about "our" Ansley Fox copyrighting artwork in Philadelphia in 1908 for whatever reason may have moved him to do so?

Got me Tom.....Nothing would surprise me though. You have a picture of it?

[DSizemore]

Yeah, I guess you do. Just when I hit the "submit" button the picture popped up. That's cool.

How many people with the surname Fox and a first initial of A. were in the Philadelphia city directory in 1908?

[MARSHFELLOW]

Good question David...I was wondering the same thing, cant imagine that there were a whole slew. I never tried to search city directories online....need to give it a try cuz I'm not going to Philly anytime soon.

See ya in Vegas in a few days.

1911, No. 24 Campfire catalogue was printed by Clymer-Jones Lithography, Philadelphia.

Try them Ed Farrand

Ed,

That crossed my mind too....if ol'Ansley was somehow involved in printing I would have suspected he would have been doing his own company's catalogs.

In Boyd's City Directory for Philadelphia in 1908, there are 47 entries for A. Fox. Philadelphia was a big town then, as it is now.
