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. They date between 1957-1972, and some are advertisement pamphlets created to sell books.","Folder 3 contains non-personalized items that were sent to Willis Shell from publishing firms, libraries, and department stores. Included in these items is the new location announcements from King and Queen Press and\nWilliam E. Rudge's Sons.","Folder 4 contains items pertaining to the Attic Press. These include items printed by the Attic Press, the certificate registering the Attic Press name, and newspaper clippings about Attic Press. These items also included an illustration from the book that Attic Press created as a gift for Prince Charles and Princess Anne.","Folder 5 contains items either created at William Byrd Press or sent to them. These items include a 1957 pamphlet showing the address of the press and contact information for everyone who worked there.","Folder 6 contains ephemera not directly related to Willis A. Shell. Included in this folder are the birth announcements for John Gregory Allen and Sarah Adams Hoover, as well as a Happy Groundhog Day card. One of the more interesting items included in these items is the Richmond News Leader Directory from March 1, 1936.","Series III, Christmas Cards, contain Christmas cards that were sent to Willis and Eleanor Shell from between 1952-1977, including many unique designs from illustrators and printers around the country.","Copyright restrictions may apply.

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.

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."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Box Number, Folder Number], MS-47, Willis \u0026amp; Eleanor Shell Collection, Book Arts, Archives, \u0026amp; Rare Books, Boatwright Memorial Library, University of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia\u003c/p\u003e  "],"prefercite_tesim":["[Box Number, Folder Number], MS-47, Willis \u0026 Eleanor Shell Collection, Book Arts, Archives, \u0026 Rare Books, Boatwright Memorial Library, University of Richmond, Richmond, Virginia"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection arrived as a single unit with the majority of materials mixed together.

In 1832, the Virginia Baptist Seminary was formed with the Reverend Robert Ryland as principal and the only teacher. The seminary was located on a farm called Spring Farm near the present-day Bryan Park. In 1834, the seminary was moved to what was then a western suburb of Richmond, one-half mile from the city limits. The seminary, located near the present intersection of Grace and Lombardy Streets, and the school remained at this site for eighty years. In 1840, Richmond College was chartered as a liberal arts and sciences college for men by the Virginia General Assembly.","Two other events provided significant impact in shaping the existing physical campus: the move to the present campus and the establishment of the co-ordinate system. The origins of the present campus date to 1910, when the Richmond College Board of Trustees purchased approximately 290 acres including Westhampton Lake. Ben Green's old mill pond, now known as Westhampton Lake, stretched 1,326 feet in length and divided the property into two parts. The lake covered approximately fourteen acres and predated the Civil War. Classes at Richmond College started in September, 1914. Westhampton College, a college of liberal arts and sciences for women, was also established in 1914 on the same property. George White McDaniel, chairman of the Board of Trustees committee to secure the deed to the property, noted that the property was, \"sufficiently large for all future purposes\" of the institution. The property was outside the City of Richmond in Henrico County. Twenty-six years later, Richmond College was once again within city limits as the City of Richmond annexed a considerable portion of Henrico County.","President Frederic William Boatwright (1895–1946 term of office) envisioned a \"Collegiate Gothic\" style of architecture for the new University campus. In 1910, the architectural firm of Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson was commissioned by the Board of Trustees to draft plans for the future College. Ralph Adams Cram, eminent institutional architect, was responsible for establishing the enduring style on the University of Richmond campus. The Board of Trustees also engaged the service of a landscape architect Warren H. Manning, a former apprentice to Frederick Law Olmstead. Manning was responsible for designing and locating roads, supervising the cutting and planting of trees, locating walkways, and landscaping the terrain so that it would drain appropriately. President Boatwright worked with Cram and Manning to formulate a master plan which considered fifty years of growth for the institution on its present site. The master plan included provision for a college of medicine, a law school building, an observatory, a school of business administration, an engineering school, a gymnasium and swimming pool, a major library and homes for professors.","Construction of new buildings designed by Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson began in 1911. The first building constructed on the new site was Ryland Hall, now the Humanities Building, which housed administrative offices, lecture rooms, the art hall, meeting space and a library with 40,000 volumes. It was followed by North Court. Two residence halls for men were also constructed: Residence Hall No. 2 (formerly Thomas Hall) and Residence Hall No. 1 (formerly Jeter Hall). Cram is credited with remarking that the collegiate Gothic style symbolizes \"eternal values\" and \"exalted ideals of education and religion.\" Cram also boasted that there \"wasn't another site in the whole United States as suitable for a college, except for the site at West Point.\"","During World War II, the University of Richmond supported the national effort to conserve food by establishing victory gardens on campus. In the spring of 1943, an area on the Westhampton campus near River Road was cultivated with plots assigned to faculty who wished to make a garden. The University of Richmond expanded over time as the following schools of study were established:","1870 - The T.C.

Reynolds Graduate School of Business\n1992 - The Jepson School of Leadership Studies","Perhaps, the most significant event in the recent history of the University occurred in 1969, when alumnus E. Claiborne Robins gave the University a gift valued at $50 million. The University moved forward to raise a matching amount of funds. This led to the construction of new facilities and the renovation of existing campus buildings.","Over the years, the University of Richmond has been characterized by its rolling terrain, commodious open space and lush tree canopy. This landscape was the primary determinant in the initial master plan organization and has continued to dictate the development patterns as growth has occurred. This methodology has been continuously embraced by those in leadership positions within the University and has clearly elevated the University of Richmond to a top position nationally in the aesthetic quality of its setting. In 1999, the University of Richmond was recognized by the Princeton Review as the most beautiful campus in the United States.","University history quoted from UR's Architectural Services website.","Processed by Betty Dickie.","The collection includes research on University history, presidents, alumni, and buildings.

In 1832, the Virginia Baptist Seminary was formed with the Reverend Robert Ryland as principal and the only teacher. The seminary was located on a farm called Spring Farm near the present-day Bryan Park. In 1834, the seminary was moved to what was then a western suburb of Richmond, one-half mile from the city limits. The seminary, located near the present intersection of Grace and Lombardy Streets, and the school remained at this site for eighty years. In 1840, Richmond College was chartered as a liberal arts and sciences college for men by the Virginia General Assembly.","Two other events provided significant impact in shaping the existing physical campus: the move to the present campus and the establishment of the co-ordinate system. The origins of the present campus date to 1910, when the Richmond College Board of Trustees purchased approximately 290 acres including Westhampton Lake. Ben Green's old mill pond, now known as Westhampton Lake, stretched 1,326 feet in length and divided the property into two parts. The lake covered approximately fourteen acres and predated the Civil War. Classes at Richmond College started in September, 1914. Westhampton College, a college of liberal arts and sciences for women, was also established in 1914 on the same property. George White McDaniel, chairman of the Board of Trustees committee to secure the deed to the property, noted that the property was, \"sufficiently large for all future purposes\" of the institution. The property was outside the City of Richmond in Henrico County. Twenty-six years later, Richmond College was once again within city limits as the City of Richmond annexed a considerable portion of Henrico County.","President Frederic William Boatwright (1895–1946 term of office) envisioned a \"Collegiate Gothic\" style of architecture for the new University campus. In 1910, the architectural firm of Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson was commissioned by the Board of Trustees to draft plans for the future College. Ralph Adams Cram, eminent institutional architect, was responsible for establishing the enduring style on the University of Richmond campus. The Board of Trustees also engaged the service of a landscape architect Warren H. Manning, a former apprentice to Frederick Law Olmstead. Manning was responsible for designing and locating roads, supervising the cutting and planting of trees, locating walkways, and landscaping the terrain so that it would drain appropriately. President Boatwright worked with Cram and Manning to formulate a master plan which considered fifty years of growth for the institution on its present site. The master plan included provision for a college of medicine, a law school building, an observatory, a school of business administration, an engineering school, a gymnasium and swimming pool, a major library and homes for professors.","Construction of new buildings designed by Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson began in 1911. The first building constructed on the new site was Ryland Hall, now the Humanities Building, which housed administrative offices, lecture rooms, the art hall, meeting space and a library with 40,000 volumes. It was followed by North Court. Two residence halls for men were also constructed: Residence Hall No. 2 (formerly Thomas Hall) and Residence Hall No. 1 (formerly Jeter Hall). Cram is credited with remarking that the collegiate Gothic style symbolizes \"eternal values\" and \"exalted ideals of education and religion.\" Cram also boasted that there \"wasn't another site in the whole United States as suitable for a college, except for the site at West Point.\"","During World War II, the University of Richmond supported the national effort to conserve food by establishing victory gardens on campus. In the spring of 1943, an area on the Westhampton campus near River Road was cultivated with plots assigned to faculty who wished to make a garden. The University of Richmond expanded over time as the following schools of study were established:","1870 - The T.C.

Paris and Raphael D. Paris. Throughout her life she worked in education in various forms from elementary to collegiate level. She earned a B.A. (1915) and M.A. in Education from Wellesley College. She taught in New England, Virginia, and Illinois. Hazel is most famously known from authoring Bunny Polka Dot and The Little Red Wagon. She was also an assistant professor of English at Westhampton College in the 1920s.","Her interest in writing first began when her son was a young boy and she discovered she was having a hard time locating interesting educational material for him to read. At the time she was friends with an established author who agreed she had a talent for writing and encouraged her to pursue it. When she first started out she struggled getting her stories published. One of her rejections was from McLoughlin Bros. Inc. in 1940, in which they stated they already had too many animal stories for this year and maybe she should submit her material in the following year. In 1942 she was rejected by Farm Journal and Farmer's Wife because her material was too similar to what they were already publishing. This process would repeat itself all the way into 1949 when she was rejected by Grosset and Dunlap. During this time, she was careful to take notes and learn from her mistakes. She did publish a few stories during this time to The American Home for example, however she was still learning the times that were best to submit. Many times she was simply rejected because she submitted her material at the wrong time of year for the publications. Eventually, she came to understand the publication process and was publishing multiple stories a year. Early on in the process she did get an article published in Writer's Monthly in 1941 entitled, \"What the Editor Wants.\" This article discussed her process when planning to submit an article for publication and what an editor expects to see.","Throughout her life, she wrote numerous articles, informal essays, short stories, articles on family life, and articles for both adults and children. When developing a story, Hazel didn't like to waste paper, so she would use scrap material from her education position to plan out the story before typing. She was a large advocate for immersing children in day to day activities. In Christian Home in 1940 she discussed bringing children into the kitchen and allowing them to participate in meal preparation. She stressed the importance of patience in the parent and allowing the child to learn and use their creativity to solve the problem in front of them. In her later articles she focused on how parents can better understand their teenage children.","After working in higher education, she realized she missed working with young children and took a job in elementary education in District 109 in Deerfield, Illinois. She retired in 1962 but kept working on stories for different organizations well into 1974, such as a biography for Joseph Laurent. She passed away in Feb. 1975 in Highland Park, Illinois.","These materials are from the estate of Debbie Marchand, granddaughter of Hazel Paris Cederborg. They were acquired at auction by Wellesley College, and later this portion was transferred to the University of Richmond in 2016. Materials about Wellesley College were retained by their archives.","Collection contains documents, published short stories, photographs, notecards, magnifying glass, letter opener, French apron, scrapbooks.","Processed by Maelyn Cable.","Wellesley College featured material from their collection of Hazel Paris Cederborg materials in their 2016 spring newsletter.","The collection is divided into 2 series, and 7 subseries.","Series I, Short Stories, contains stories written by Hazel Paris Cederborg for young children focusing around life lessons.","Subseries IA, Unpublished Drafts and Notes, includes stories that were in the planning process or ideas that had yet to be put in some order. These particular stories have topics focusing around family life and many use animals to teach life lessons. A large part of this section contains materials on the Prince of Whales and the planning materials for a story.","Subseries IB, Published Short Stories, contains stories that were published into newspapers, story collections, or books. The first part of this section is large children's storybooks where Hazel Paris Cederborg has one to seven short stories published in each one. In the front of the folders are copies of the stories specifically published by Cederborg. Following the storybooks are published articles to smaller collections or newspapers. The main items in this section are The Little Red Wagon and Bunny Polka Dot.","Subseries IC, Historical and Factual Short Stories, includes short stories based with historically accurate information and focused around living or deceased individuals. These stories were requested by another party to be written by Hazel Paris Cederborg and mainly focus around Somerville, Massachusetts where Cederborg lived for a short time growing up.","Series II, Personal Papers and Family Information, includes information in the collection that was collected by Hazel or other family members pertaining to research or family information including Hazel's retirement.","Subseries IIA, Research, includes items that contain research ideas for unnamed stories.","Subseries IIB, Personal Papers and Items, includes items such as files pertaining to the Westhampton Anniversary Party in 1964, articles containing information about Emil W. Cederborg and Hazel Paris Cederborg, and items held in the procession of the Cederborgs. Towards the end of this section are items that Hazel used for aids in the classroom and items from her desk.","Subseries IIC, Family Information and Photographs, contains items relating to family history. This section is largely comprised of family photographs.","Subseries IID, Scrapbooks, includes scrapbooks created by Hazel Paris Cederborg that contain clippings of articles and stories she published to various sources. At the end of the section are two photo albums; one has the childhood of Hazel and the other of her children.","Copies of The Little Red Wagon and Bunny Polka Dot, both by Hazel Cederborg, have been added to the Historical Children's Literature Collection in the Galvin Rare Book Room.","Copyright restrictions may apply. Unpublished manuscripts are protected by copyright. Permission to publish, quote, or reproduce must be secured from the repository and the copyright holder.","This collection contains short story drafts, published articles focusing on children's stories or family life, and Storybook collections containing short children's stories or poems. Also located in the collection are individual family photographs and family photo albums documenting the childhood of Hazel Paris Cederborg and her children.

One of her rejections was from McLoughlin Bros. Inc. in 1940, in which they stated they already had too many animal stories for this year and maybe she should submit her material in the following year. In 1942 she was rejected by Farm Journal and Farmer's Wife because her material was too similar to what they were already publishing. This process would repeat itself all the way into 1949 when she was rejected by Grosset and Dunlap. During this time, she was careful to take notes and learn from her mistakes. She did publish a few stories during this time to The American Home for example, however she was still learning the times that were best to submit. Many times she was simply rejected because she submitted her material at the wrong time of year for the publications. Eventually, she came to understand the publication process and was publishing multiple stories a year.
