He was a student at the University of Richmond in 1926, though it is not clear if he graduated. In 1938, Willis A. Shell married  Eleanor Roberts , with whom he would start the  Attic Press  from their home at 311 W. Franklin St. in Richmond, VA. While it is unclear how he managed to get his 2000-pound 1840 Washington hand press, a Christmas present from his wife, into the attic of his home, it stayed there until they moved in 1958 to 2113 Hanover Ave. in Richmond VA.  Besides co-owning and operating the Attic Press with Eleanor, Willis A. Shell also worked at the  William Byrd Press  from 1933-1971. He started at the William Byrd Press in February of 1933 as a salesman and then as a book designer, working there until he retired in  September 1971  as the Vice President in charge of sales for Richmond, VA. Eleanor graduated from  Parsons School of Design  and worked as an  illustrator  for the  Richmond New Leader , where she developed a regular art feature for the Sunday  Times-Dispatch  from 1935-1950.  ","His first handmade book was  The Night After Christmas . Willis and Eleanor worked together and separately on projects. For example, for the book  An Allegorical ABC Book About Father Junipero Serra , published in  1977 , Willis printed the book, and Eleanor provided the illustrations. A printing proof from this book is included in the collection. There are booklets and pamphlets from the Attic Press and the William Byrd Press included within this collection and over thirty other books and pamphlets from other publishers. In addition, this collection contains copies of the obituaries of Willis and Eleanor Shell, memories of Willis and Eleanor Shell written by her niece, Margaret Roberts Thomas, and ephemera, booklets, and pamphlets relating to Willis A. Shell and his publishing companies. Due to the quality of his work, Willis A. Shell quickly became a respected printer and illustrator. In 1952 he produced three of the five entries from Richmond, VA for a 1952 Southeastern Library Association competition. These five entries were part of the total of 16 volumes designated as the best in Southern book production. Another interesting proof in this collection is a book created in nine days for Colonial Williamsburg. The combination of Eleanor's reputation as an illustrator and Willis' unique book design and printing led to the commission from Colonial Williamsburg to produce a book about Williamsburg crafts to present to Queen Elizabeth during her 1954 visit. One book he designed while at William Byrd Press was  David John Mays '  Edmund Pendleton , which won a Pulitzer Prize. Shell was also a charter member of the Bibliographic Society of the University of Virginia. He also served as chairman of the Special Collections Committee at the Richmond Public Library and was a member of the Rotunda Club, the Advertising Federation of America, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the Virginia Historical Society. Eleanor was a member of the Woman's Club, the Friends of Richmond Public Library, the Virginia Bibliographical Society, and the Associates of the James Branch Cabell Library.  ","Due to their ties to the print and illustration community, the  Shell  collection also holds a variety of materials created by friends, including Christmas cards from both  David Clinger  and  Warren Chappell , both noted figures in their own fields and donors to the Galvin Rare Book Room collections. The Shell's Christmas cards, like many other ones in the collection, were completely handmade; each year, they would design, print, and illustrate each card. After a noted and remarkable life, Eleanor Shell passed away February 26, 1974, and Willis A. Shell, Jr. passed away on March 14, 1989. ","This collection arrived as a single unit with the majority of materials mixed together. The processor decided to separate by related materials and by chronological order with the Christmas cards.","An item level inventory can be made available by reaching out to archives@richmond.edu.","MS-35 David Clinger Collection","The Willis \u0026 Eleanor Shell Collection holds booklets, pamphlets, print proofs and other items relating to the illustrator and printer, Willis A. Shell, Jr., and his wife and business and artistic partner, Eleanor Roberts Shell. Shell, Jr., was a miniature bookmaker, illustrator, and printer from Richmond, VA. The Shells founded The Attic Press while Willis Shell, Jr., also worked at The William Byrd Press from 1933-1977. Materials include illustration mock-ups, print advertisements, Attic Press materials, and personal Christmas cards from friends and fellow illustrators, including David Clinger and Warren Chappell.","Series I, Personal Information, focuses primarily on materials relating to personal matters of both Willis and Eleanor Shell.","Folder 1 contains items pertaining to Willis Shell, including obituaries, an advance photo print from the  Richmond Times-Dispatch , and newspaper clippings and a copy of the paperwork donating  Shell 's body to science.","Folder 2 contains nine items pertaining to Eleanor Shell, including two letters written by Eleanor, in which she writes about Rockefeller purchasing one of the books created for Colonial Williamsburg. There are also two illustrations\ncreated by Eleanor included.","Folder 3 contains Christmas cards sent from Warren Chappell to Willis Shell. Some of these cards appear to be hand drawn, while others are printed illustrations of Chappell's design.","Series II, Print Matters, focuses on the professional work of Eleanor and Willis Shell and their associates.","Folder 1 contains booklets that written by various authors. They date between 1958-1977 and cover the subjects including Christmas and the journeys of James Cook.","Folder 2, Pamphlets, contains pamphlets created by a variety of presses.

He was a student at the University of Richmond in 1926, though it is not clear if he graduated. In 1938, Willis A. Shell married  Eleanor Roberts , with whom he would start the  Attic Press  from their home at 311 W. Franklin St. in Richmond, VA. While it is unclear how he managed to get his 2000-pound 1840 Washington hand press, a Christmas present from his wife, into the attic of his home, it stayed there until they moved in 1958 to 2113 Hanover Ave. in Richmond VA.  Besides co-owning and operating the Attic Press with Eleanor, Willis A. Shell also worked at the  William Byrd Press  from 1933-1971. He started at the William Byrd Press in February of 1933 as a salesman and then as a book designer, working there until he retired in  September 1971  as the Vice President in charge of sales for Richmond, VA. Eleanor graduated from  Parsons School of Design  and worked as an  illustrator  for the  Richmond New Leader , where she developed a regular art feature for the Sunday  Times-Dispatch  from 1935-1950.  ","His first handmade book was  The Night After Christmas . Willis and Eleanor worked together and separately on projects. For example, for the book  An Allegorical ABC Book About Father Junipero Serra , published in  1977 , Willis printed the book, and Eleanor provided the illustrations. A printing proof from this book is included in the collection. There are booklets and pamphlets from the Attic Press and the William Byrd Press included within this collection and over thirty other books and pamphlets from other publishers. In addition, this collection contains copies of the obituaries of Willis and Eleanor Shell, memories of Willis and Eleanor Shell written by her niece, Margaret Roberts Thomas, and ephemera, booklets, and pamphlets relating to Willis A. Shell and his publishing companies. Due to the quality of his work, Willis A. Shell quickly became a respected printer and illustrator. In 1952 he produced three of the five entries from Richmond, VA for a 1952 Southeastern Library Association competition. These five entries were part of the total of 16 volumes designated as the best in Southern book production. Another interesting proof in this collection is a book created in nine days for Colonial Williamsburg. The combination of Eleanor's reputation as an illustrator and Willis' unique book design and printing led to the commission from Colonial Williamsburg to produce a book about Williamsburg crafts to present to Queen Elizabeth during her 1954 visit. One book he designed while at William Byrd Press was  David John Mays '  Edmund Pendleton , which won a Pulitzer Prize. Shell was also a charter member of the Bibliographic Society of the University of Virginia. He also served as chairman of the Special Collections Committee at the Richmond Public Library and was a member of the Rotunda Club, the Advertising Federation of America, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the Virginia Historical Society. Eleanor was a member of the Woman's Club, the Friends of Richmond Public Library, the Virginia Bibliographical Society, and the Associates of the James Branch Cabell Library.  ","Due to their ties to the print and illustration community, the  Shell  collection also holds a variety of materials created by friends, including Christmas cards from both  David Clinger  and  Warren Chappell , both noted figures in their own fields and donors to the Galvin Rare Book Room collections. The Shell's Christmas cards, like many other ones in the collection, were completely handmade; each year, they would design, print, and illustrate each card. After a noted and remarkable life, Eleanor Shell passed away February 26, 1974, and Willis A. Shell, Jr. passed away on March 14, 1989.

He was a student at the University of Richmond in 1926, though it is not clear if he graduated. In 1938, Willis A. Shell married  Eleanor Roberts , with whom he would start the  Attic Press  from their home at 311 W. Franklin St. in Richmond, VA. While it is unclear how he managed to get his 2000-pound 1840 Washington hand press, a Christmas present from his wife, into the attic of his home, it stayed there until they moved in 1958 to 2113 Hanover Ave. in Richmond VA.  Besides co-owning and operating the Attic Press with Eleanor, Willis A. Shell also worked at the  William Byrd Press  from 1933-1971. He started at the William Byrd Press in February of 1933 as a salesman and then as a book designer, working there until he retired in  September 1971  as the Vice President in charge of sales for Richmond, VA. Eleanor graduated from  Parsons School of Design  and worked as an  illustrator  for the  Richmond New Leader , where she developed a regular art feature for the Sunday  Times-Dispatch  from 1935-1950.  ","His first handmade book was  The Night After Christmas . Willis and Eleanor worked together and separately on projects. For example, for the book  An Allegorical ABC Book About Father Junipero Serra , published in  1977 , Willis printed the book, and Eleanor provided the illustrations. A printing proof from this book is included in the collection. There are booklets and pamphlets from the Attic Press and the William Byrd Press included within this collection and over thirty other books and pamphlets from other publishers. In addition, this collection contains copies of the obituaries of Willis and Eleanor Shell, memories of Willis and Eleanor Shell written by her niece, Margaret Roberts Thomas, and ephemera, booklets, and pamphlets relating to Willis A. Shell and his publishing companies. Due to the quality of his work, Willis A. Shell quickly became a respected printer and illustrator. In 1952 he produced three of the five entries from Richmond, VA for a 1952 Southeastern Library Association competition. These five entries were part of the total of 16 volumes designated as the best in Southern book production. Another interesting proof in this collection is a book created in nine days for Colonial Williamsburg. The combination of Eleanor's reputation as an illustrator and Willis' unique book design and printing led to the commission from Colonial Williamsburg to produce a book about Williamsburg crafts to present to Queen Elizabeth during her 1954 visit. One book he designed while at William Byrd Press was  David John Mays '  Edmund Pendleton , which won a Pulitzer Prize. Shell was also a charter member of the Bibliographic Society of the University of Virginia. He also served as chairman of the Special Collections Committee at the Richmond Public Library and was a member of the Rotunda Club, the Advertising Federation of America, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the Virginia Historical Society. Eleanor was a member of the Woman's Club, the Friends of Richmond Public Library, the Virginia Bibliographical Society, and the Associates of the James Branch Cabell Library.  ","Due to their ties to the print and illustration community, the  Shell  collection also holds a variety of materials created by friends, including Christmas cards from both  David Clinger  and  Warren Chappell , both noted figures in their own fields and donors to the Galvin Rare Book Room collections. The Shell's Christmas cards, like many other ones in the collection, were completely handmade; each year, they would design, print, and illustrate each card. After a noted and remarkable life, Eleanor Shell passed away February 26, 1974, and Willis A. Shell, Jr. passed away on March 14, 1989.
