Looking for a Victor Fox photo or drawing...
David Lawrence:
I don't think there is any connection with that group of photos and "the" Victor S. Fox.
I guess it's Kosher (pardon the pun) to post a couple of photos from the Sondheim book...Mariene Fox, Janet Fox (standing, Stephen Sondheim's mother), and mother Bessie.
The second, father Joseph.
Yoc:
Thanks David!
A shame Mark's photos weren't the guy but there might be some relation no?
StevenRowe:
Note that there is a history of Fox and Fox comics in the new Matt Baker book. Not sourced there, but I expect one could either ask, or
find the info online. My copy is in storage,as I move, but it should cover from his WW1
days supplying uniforms until his Cuba racetrack days. The book itself is a wonderful collection of material about and from Matt Baker,
and includes JVJ's talking about "Ace Baker" and who he really was.
As for a photo ... oh well...
David Lawrence:
I'll have to look at the Baker book...for more reasons than one.
One of the more intriguing things I've stumbled upon is a record of Fox flying from Libson to NYC in 1949. What the hell was Fox doing in Portugal? Could it somehow be related to the business in Cuba?
Also, it is the reason why I know Fox had a passport. Didn't need one to travel to Canada or Mexico until post 9/11. But for Europe, always.
Yoc:
Thanks for the pointer Steve - I'll have to snag that Baker book as well.
