Bobby Jones Hand Drawn Doodle & Images With Correspondence To Anthony Ravielli
Almost inconceivably, Bobby Jones' own circa 1967 ballpoint pen 'doodle' with "A- Proper camera angle" and "B-actual camera angle" notations in his hand is found in this album - instructing famed illustrating contributor Anthony Ravielli. Ravielli's job was safe, but Jones' conceptual illustration got the point across, asking for the camera angle to be perpendicular threw the ball to the toe line and not at an angle like it was prior to the edit. The album features typed correspondence from Jones to Ravielli dated June 14, 1967. "Most important, please do not do any drawings until you have submitted to me and obtained approval on the texts to be illustrated," Jones tells 'Tony. Different pre-production 'figures' of Jones with the text boxes drawn in accompanies this original pen sketch of Jones and aforementioned correspondence over 1 1/2 pages. The final pencil sketch was not done in the hand of Bobby Jones, but was edited by him. Jones' firm suggestions were changing 'Effect of Spin in Flight' to 'Virtual Plane Backspin' and " " - Slicing Spin.' This fascinating both visual and written content between Bobby Jones and Anthony Ravielli featuring Jones the "artist" has not been released to the public until now - bid accordingly.
