{"value"=>"<p>Series VII consists of sketchbooks and loose drawings with Wolfe's original pencil and ink sketches from his childhood to the early 1970s, as well as slides and photostat reproductions. Sketchbooks primarily contain figure drawings, caricatures, and sketches of street scenes with some notes interspersed. Slides in the series contain drawings published in magazines, newspapers, and books, as well as those exhibited during the 1960s. A file of newspaper sketches contains photostat copies of sketches published in the <span class=\"title\">Springfield Union</span> and the <span class=\"title\">Washington Post</span>, some of which are uncredited or unsigned. Newspaper sketches range from caricatures of members of society to courtroom scenes. Some drawings in this series can be found published in Wolfe's books <span class=\"title\">The Pump House Gang</span> and <span class=\"title\">In Our Time</span>, and in his <span class=\"title\">Harper's</span> column \"In Our Time.\"</p> <p>Additional drawings are located in notebooks in Series III: Research Files. Printer-ready artwork for <span class=\"title\">The Pump House Gang</span> and <span class=\"title\">Mauve Gloves and Madmen, Clutter and Vine</span> is filed with manuscripts for each book in Series IV: Writings.</p>"}
