Description

Cover to Dear Dead Days: A Family Album by Charles Addams, published by Putnam, New York [1959].

Dear Dead Days is not a collection of his cartoons (although it reprints a few from previous collections); it is a bizarre scrapbook-like compendium of vintage images (and occasional pieces of text) that appealed to Addams's sense of the grotesque, including Victorian woodcuts, vintage medicine-show advertisements, and a boyhood photograph of Francesco Lentini, who had three legs.[1]
