OLIVERIANA GALLERY!

Welcome to the Harry Oliver archive! Below, you'll find images from various material by and about the Old Mirage Salesman.
Expect this archive to grow as more contributions arrive, as more dusty piles are dug into, as more packrats relinquish their hauls, as more old-timers cash in their chips, etc.
We need your contributions of memorabilia, images and texts [both Oliverish and non-Harryish] to fill in the holes. [hint, hint...] YOU should join the Desert Rat Scrap Book discussion group and post or upload your goodies there.   Enjoy —Ric

George R Lindblade kindly sent the above photos (and MANY THANKS!) He writes:
"Harry Oliver was a friend of mine and I had the pleasure of spending time with him at Old Fort Oliver in the early 60's and taking his photos. Many of these photos were published in Coronet Magazine. He is shown with his Academy Award Nominations, his cat "Comma" and friend Charles Farrell, whose film "Street Angel" earned Oliver an Academy Award nomination for Art Direction. Also shown is the scale and type style Oliver established for the Good Earth, for which he was also nominated... Copies are for sale." We're waiting for George's stories, eh?
