Looking for a Victor Fox photo or drawing...
Yoc:
Yes, true enough John.
Mainly the point was Iger knew Fox and was still willing to risk him as a client at least once after being forced to take legal action against him for non payment.
We also are aware Fox was trying to target Eisner-Iger artists to work for him directly.
David Lawrence:
So out of idle curiosity I decided to google the address...104 Radford Boulevard, Nottingham...from the Victor Fox birth record.
Much to my surprise, I came up with a newspaper clipping...from the Edinburgh Gazette for April 20, 1894...for a BANKRUPTCY for Fox Brothers, jewelers, trading at that address.
I'd wondered why on earth they pulled up stakes so quickly a second time after settling in England. That seems likely to be part of the answer.
And, it appears, an apple did not fall so far from its tree in the case of Victor.
Yoc:
Isn't that interesting? Good thinking to check the address.
You're doing a great job tracking these things down.

Drusilla lives!:
--- Quote from: David Lawrence on February 28, 2013, 02:04:58 PM ---... I'm interested because of the lives and careers he touched. He brought Joe Simon into the industry. He brought in Jack. He was the first client for Will Eisner.
One assumes they would have all found their way in anyway. But not at the same time, not at the same place.
Certainly history would have been very different if Jack & Joe never partnered. ...

I asked Roy Thomas (!) at TwoMorrows about it and he said:
"Hi Roy,
Thanks, but no... never seen or heard of a photo of publisher Victor Fox.
Roy T."
