DATE OF THIS ** ORIGINAL ** ITEM: 1933 Isabel Parke Branson Cartwright (September 4, 1885 – June 7, 1966) was an American artist born in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. Cartwright attended the Philadelphia School of Design for Women. In 1906, she won the 'Alumnae Award', a European fellowship allowing her to go abroad for a year. This enabled her to study with Frank Brangwyn, a figure painter in London, for a year, and to travel to Holland, France, and Italy. Other teachers included Elliott Daingerfield and Henry B. Snell. In November 1910, she married John Reagan Cartwright in El Paso, Texas. They moved to Terrell, Texas until her husband's death in 1917. She went on to have one-woman art shows in San Antonio and Fort Worth, Texas. After her Texas period, Isabel Cartwright returned to Philadelphia where she joined the Philadelphia Ten. Considered one of the mainstays of the group, she exhibited in all sixty-five shows that it held, over a twenty-eight year span from 1917 to 1945. Cartwright had a house in the 1940s on Monhegan Island, off the coast of Maine, where she liked to paint. She exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1921-1943), and at the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors. In 1953, Cartwright moved to the artists' colony of Carmel, California to live with her sister Sarah Branson Cornell. Cartwright died in Ross, California in 1966. The Literary Digest was an American general interest weekly magazine published by Funk & Wagnalls. Founded by Isaac Kaufmann Funk in 1890, it eventually merged with two similar weekly magazines, Public Opinion and Current Opinion. The magazine gained notoriety when its poll of the 1936 United States presidential election substantially missed the final result, predicting a victory for Republican candidate Alf Landon against Democratic incumbent Franklin D. Roosevelt. On election day, Roosevelt defeated Landon in a landslide victory. The poll's inaccuracy was ruinous for the magazine's reputation, and it ceased publication in 1938. Beginning with early issues, the emphasis was on opinion articles and an analysis of news events. Established as a weekly newsmagazine, it offered condensations of articles from American, Canadian and European publications. Type-only covers gave way to illustrated covers during the early 1900s. After Isaac Funk's death in 1912, Robert Joseph Cuddihy became the editor. In the 1920s, the covers carried full-color reproductions of famous paintings. By 1927, The Literary Digest climbed to a circulation of over one million. Covers of the final issues displayed various photographic and photo-montage techniques. In 1938, it merged with the Review of Reviews, only to fail soon after. Its subscriber list was bought by Time. A column in The Digest, known as "The Lexicographer's Easy Chair", was produced by Frank Horace Vizetelly. Ewing Galloway was assistant editor at the publication.
