Description: 1955 calendar advertising and themed around Ohio author and conservation advocate Louis Bromfield's famed Malabar Farm in Lucas, Ohio. The full-color twelve-month calendar includes color photographs by Joe Munroe and short caption essays by Louis Bromfield. Calendar verso pages feature longer essays on the history and rehabilitation of Malabar and vignettes of farm life also written by Bromfield. The Friends of the Land Collection (1930-1960) contains the papers of the Friends of the Land (1940-1959), a prominent national soil conservation education organization headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. FOTL produced an international literary arts quarterly, THE LAND (edited by New Deal agriculture writer Russell Lord) in addition to several members' only publications (LAND LETTER) and informational pamphlets. They also hosted annual conferences; ran conservation tours, teacher training labs, and workshops; and operated as a national clearinghouse for conservation information. Ohio farmer and novelist Louis Bromfield was active in the organization. Much of the collection reflects the career and interests of FOTL Executive Secretary Ollie Fink, who was a prominent conservation education pioneer in Ohio. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This is a photograph of Warren James Fort of Winona, Minnesota, November 12, 1920. This image comes from a group of photographs of babies and young children named after President Warren G. Harding, which were sent to Harding while he was in office and eventually transferred to the Ohio Historical Society from the Harding Memorial Association. Harding’s election provided a short burst of popularity for the name Warren, which had been steadily gaining in popularity during the 1910s. According to data from the Social Security Administration, the name rose from 122nd place in 1910 to 82nd place in 1919, with its largest jump in 1920 when it reached 39th. It jumped again in 1921, ranking 24th that year. After Harding's election in November of 1921, and his subsequent death on August 2, 1923, the name declined in popularity throughout the 20th century.

Description: Original description reads: "Close-up view of Vesuvius Furnace Stack. This was one of the first iron blast furnaces in the famous Hanging Rock Iron District in southern Ohio. Built in 1833, used charcoal and air blast similar to other furnaces (this known as 'cold blast'). In 1836 the hot blast process was developed at this furnace and being more efficient, it rapidly spread to the other furnaces in this area. In the late 90's competition with the norther Michigan and Minnesota mines caused the return to the 'cold blast' method. The final blast at this furnace was in 1906. This furnace is the source of the name for the Vesuvius Recreation Area." The Vesuvius Recreation Area is located in Wayne National Forest. Lake Vesuvius is a man-made result of dam construction that began in 1937 and was completed by 1941. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Cartoonist Billy Ireland drew this self-caricature, which was from "Accountants Reports and Exhibits," a publication of the American Association of Public Accountants for a meeting held in St. Paul, Minnesota, in October 1907. Ireland portrays himself as an impish figure wearing a plaid suit and a bowler hat, smoking a cigar, and having a pencil tucked behind his left ear. He's carrying a large bottle of ink in his right hand, a briefcase in the other hand, and a large cartoon tucked under his left arm. The briefcase bears a sign that reads: "'Billie Ireland' Official Cartoonist of 'The Ohio Society' 'Meet Me in St. Paul.'" A sign labeled "To St. Paul" is posted next to the railroad tracks down which Ireland is walking. William Addison "Billy" Ireland was born in 1880 in Chillicothe, Ohio. A self-taught artist, Ireland was hired after high school graduation by the "Columbus Dispatch" and spent his entire career with that newspaper until his death on May 29, 1935.
