Illustrations and Proofs

This subseries consists of materials contributing to the production of Nichols's published works arranged into two groupings: illustrations and proofs. Included in the series are illustrations for two of Nichols's garden works, Merry Hall (1953) and Green Grows the Garden (1939), marked for layout purposes and Nichols's advance uncorrected proofs of his 1933 collection of plays titled Failures . The set of proofs for Failures includes the original preface by Nichols, much of which was cut for final publication. Within the two groupings, material is arranged alphabetically by title of the work.
