I got the 8 prints up yesterday in two rows. They are closer together than I like becasue there isn't a lot of wall space. Realized 15 minutes later that two had to be swapped becasue they were out of sequence!

Charles, these look fabulous. And I see you're a man after my own heart -- I can't toss the mailers on the fanzines etc I buy. That envelope looks great framed. Thanks for sharing.

Yes. I took one of the prints, then realized two were out of sequence! Will take more when they are all up. My old house is mostly windows and bookcases, not so much wall space, but they will all get put up.

That looks impressive Charles. Steven Fabian's pics look even more iconic all framed up like that. Did they ever do a folio collection of his TotE pics?

Hi Charles. Great collection. Fabian is a superb artist. He reminds me at times of Virgil Finlay. Amazingly prolific too.

Yes indeed. Have been tempted by it...may still get it. Someone has one only of the prints for sale on eBay but I have sen the sets before. I have no idea where it woudl go if I picked it up....

In hindsight, I wish I had centered the certificate and Song of Belit against the larger frames instead of making them level with the tops...but the holes are in the wall now...
Remember this is an old house so I can level something but the wall next to it may be a little out of plumb...and trying to get equal spacing and level hangers by myself on the 8 prints was more than I could do with 100A% accuracy.

Maybe use some fishing string or something equally transparent to drop them a bit?
Still a fine arrangement!

They will stay like they are I suspect...and I just picked up the Tower of the Elephant set supposedly still sealed...probably end up being an envelope full of newspaper clippings...

Thanks. Glad I got it done. One of my few accomplishments for the week! That was fast, and thanks for the pics. If you decide to frame up the TotE collection as well you could occasionally rotate one set out for the other, if they're the same size and format.
