A Vip Library

Virgil Partch (1916-1984), better known as Vip, published numerous cartoon collections and illustrated books from the 1940s to the 1970s. Illustrator and collagist Stephen Kroninger has a great many of them in his personal library. He has photographed the covers and shares them with us here.
