- 2 GRACE DRAYTON SCHOOL CAMPBELL'S
2 GRACE DRAYTON SCHOOL CAMPBELL'S SOUP KIDSSchool of Grace Drayton (American, 1877-1936). Group of two 1930s gouache on illustration board paintings depicting young children for Campbell's Soup advertising campaigns.
One titled "Dandy to Me," depicting a young child reading the latest stock news from a state of the art glass domed stock ticker machine, 1930. A surreal take on the 1929 stock market crash that led to the Great Depression, this work originally appeared in a 1930 Campbell's Soup advertisement in October 1930 above a poem that reads "The news that I’m reading look’s dandy to me. Like a plateful of Campbell’s Which fills me with glee."
One titled "Sand Man's Coming Soon," depicting a young, Dolly Dingle-type girl tucking her doll into its bed, ca. 1930s. Originally for a Campbell's Soup advertising campaign, the work is accompanied by text that reads "Not a drop of Campbell’s left upon her spoon, So the good old sand man’s Coming mighty soon!â€
Lot essay:
These two works are excellent examples of the Campbell's Soup Kids illustrations. The Campbell’s Soup Kids appeared in print ads in countless American mainstream publications such as The Saturday Evening Post. The brainchild of illustrator Grace Wiederseim Drayton, who debuted the first Campbell’s Soup Kid ad in 1904, the characters became so popular, that the company soon hired a number of illustrators to create ads in the manner of Drayton. It’s unknown whether Drayton herself is the illustrator of this example.
The Campbell Kids have been selling Campbell’s Soup since 1904 when Grace Wiederseim Drayton, an illustrator and writer, added some sketches of children to her husband’s advertising layout for a Campbell’s condensed soup. The Campbell advertising agents loved the child appeal and choose Mrs. Wiederseim’s sketches as trademarks. In the beginning, Campbell Kids were drawn as ordinary boys and girls, later, Campbell Kids took on the personas of policemen, sailors, soldiers, and other professions.
Grace Wiederseim Drayton will always be the “mother†of Campbell Kids. She drew for the company advertising for nearly twenty years. Drayton’s designs were so popular that doll makers wanted to capitalize on their popularity. Campbell’s gave the E. I. Horsemen Company the license to market dolls with the Campbell label on their sleeves. Horseman even secured two U.S. design patents for the dolls’ clothes.
Today, Campbell’s Soup Company, with its famous red and white label, remains a staple in the kitchen as well as American culture.

", ". . . sitting on the warm hearth, we watch snowdrops grow . . .", and ". . . in brown dirt, under green moss lives an orange salamander . . . ". Unsigned with letter of provenance.

Some minor tearing to upper edges and corners from mounting. Not examined outside of framing. Framed size 27"x22". Estate of Leigh Dean, Seattle. Provenance letter reads, "Sometime during the early Spring of 1961, when I had just begin a new career as an editorial assistant at McGraw-Hill in the Whittlesey House Department (later to be known as the Junior Book Division) and while I was struggling to find a publisher for one of my own children's book manuscript, Frances Keene, an author, translator, and editor put me in touch with a young man named Andy Warhol. Keene felt that my words teamed-up with Warhol's drawings would make an interesting publishing venture. I phoned Mr. Warhol and we made an appointment for me to come to his home on Lexington Avenue to deliver my manuscript. Evidently, my manuscript appealed to Andy because several weeks later I again visited his home to pick up my manuscript and the 4 watercolor and pencil sketches he had done . . . I thanked Mr. Warhol for his charming sketches. I told him I hoped his art would help sell my manuscript. He wished us both luck and I walked out of his home and out of his life. I never saw Andy Warhol in person, again. My manuscript went unpublished and together with the 4 sketches was forgotton. I went on to become a fiction editor at McGraw-Hill and a published author. On September 25th, 1987, I went to 'The Factory' or Warhol's studio. There Vincent Freemont and Fred Hughes, the executor of Warhol's estate, examined and authenticated the 4 sketches, and now have in their files Polaroid photographs and a Xerox copy of this provenance. This November 3rd, 1999, Leslie Prouty, of Sotheby's Contemporary Art Department, appraised the sketches at $4,000.00 each.

Other figures are visible, engaged in various activities at the water's edge; one appears to hold a rifle. Signed "T. Campbell" lower right.

Canvas - 16 3/4" x 10 1/2". Frame - 19" x 13". Biography: Painting was a second career for Thomas Campbell, who immigrated to the United States at age 19, and was ordained as a minister in 1866. He and his family moved to East Tennessee in hopes a climate change would improve the health of his wife, Susan, but she died in 1892. At that point, Campbell retired from the ministry and turned to art, which had been his hobby, into his job. He founded the art department at Maryville College in 1902 and headed it until his death. His paintings were exhibited regionally and won several prizes and medals. He was also active in the Nicholson Art League and was a talented wood carver who produced picture frames and small pieces of furniture.
