We are pleased to announce the release of Hop Pop Top. The early rough drawing from Hop on Pop is being released as a special Father’s Day work commemorating Dr. Seuss’ relationship with this father. Of Dr. Seuss’s 44 children’s books, he dedicated only 25 of them, typically to those impacting his life at a certain point in time. However, his two dedications to his father, Theodor Robert (T.R.), went far beyond a grateful shout-out. For McElligot’s Pool (1947) Ted wrote: “This book is dedicated to T.R. Geisel of Springfield, Mass., The World’s Greatest Authority on Blackfish, Fiddler Crabs and Deegel Trout.” Ted’s biography clarifies the outlandish sounding creatures: “Deegel trout had been their private joke since a halfhearted fishing trip in his childhood when his father bought outsized trout from the Deegel hatchery and passed them off as their catch.” Nine years later, If I Ran the Circus (1956) carried a full-page tribute, these words appearing in balloons held aloft by a clown: “This book is for my Dad, Big Ted of Springfield, the finest man I’ll ever know.” Then, in 1963, Ted wrote Hop on Pop, a tribute to all of those who shared a similar relationship with their own fathers. Hop Pop Top is being released as a Diptych, see above, and a Single image. The Hop Pop Top Diptych, above, has an image size of 14 X 22.” A fine art pigment print on acid-free paper it has an opening price of $695 unframed, $895 framed.
