Scope and Contents
Darling’s cartoons appeared regularly in many newspapers and several periodicals (most notably, from 1910 to 1934 in Collier’s Weekly Magazine). He illustrated a wide range of books, pamphlets, conservation magazines, and even advertising materials. All of this work as represented in the Iowa collection in physical formats is described in this section (I-A) of this inventory. These include clippings, proof copies (on newsprint and on calendared card stock), photostats, and photocopies. All of the material on this list, with the exception of the lists noted in Box 26, have been incorporated in the online web site, The Editorial Cartoons of Jay N. "Ding" Darling.
While Darling was primarily a cartoonist, he created art in a number of other media as well – among them pencil and ink sketches, water colors, and etchings. Items in these varied formats are described in "Other Art Forms", Section I-B of this inventory.
Original Drawings
Darling’s cartoons typically originated as inked images on 22 x 28 inch card stock. The University of Iowa Libraries holds some 6,000 of these original drawings, as they were Darling’s gift to the University just after his retirement from the Des Moines Register. The original drawings have been arranged alphabetically by title in folders stored in Map Cases 4 to 11, Drawers 4 to 150. Filed alongside these original drawings are a collection of photostats of cartoons and large scale photographic prints of cartoons on glossy paper, panel cartoons intended to be mounted on buildings, as well as uncaptioned oversized illustrations. The locations of these items are indicated at the end of this inventory.
Proof Copies
When Darling finished a drawing, it was taken to the newspaper production room where the staff produced from it, by photographic means, the printing plates required to fit it into daily newspaper page layouts. Darling’s cartoons typically appeared in the center of the front page, just under the masthead. The printing plates were routinely proofed, and several copies of the proofs might be preserved. The largest collection of proofs appears to be held by the Cowles Library at Drake University – about 6800 cartoons -- the earliest dating to 1907, although that collection becomes relatively full only after 1916 (perhaps because it was at this point that Darling’s work was syndicated through the New York Herald Tribune). The Iowa collection also contains many hundreds of proof sheets, primarily from the 1930s and 1940s.
Clippings
Finally, once the newspaper was published, one or several copies of the edition might be sacrificed to provide clippings, at least one copy of which Darling (or a member of his family) seems to have retained, more or less systematically, from the beginning of his career, just after 1900 at the Sioux City Journal, through about 1915.
The sequence of newspaper cartoons is being recreated, in full, as an on-line data base, The Editorial Cartoons of J. N. (‘Ding’) Darling. The Cowles collection was scanned in 1999 by Christopher "Kip" Koss, who then crafted metadata to accompany the images and brought his work together on a CD which remains available from the “Ding” Darling Wildlife Foundation. About 1700 original drawings in the Iowa collections -- thought not to be represented in the Cowles collection -- were also scanned in 1999-2000. When these scans of the Cowles and Iowa collections were brought together in a CONTENTdm database in the fall of 2006, the metadata for the Iowa cartoons was drawn from a card catalog created in the 1960s. In a matter of weeks, this produced a database of some 8500 cartoons. About 300 duplicate records were later identified and metadata merged.
In December 2006, the early clippings and proof copies at Iowa were scanned and CONTENTdm records created by entering dates, caption titles, and text contained in the cartoon itself. This base record provided at least some searchable access points as more complete metadata was added. The large number of Collier’s cartoons represented by proof and tear sheets were also scanned, and as time and staff resources permited, additional cartoons from varied sources were added. Microfilms of the Sioux City Journal (1900-1906), the Des Moines Register & Leader (1906-1910 and 1912-1949), and the New York Globe (1911-1913) will be systematically reviewed to recapture cartoons not caught by other means.
Proof copies, clippings, and photocopies are boxed in chronological order.

Nearly all of the clippings here are taken from the DMR, although Darling’s work now began to appear in upwards of a 130 newspapers, and, in a significant number of cases, the clippings in this series are from the syndicate newspapers (in particular, the New York Herald Tribune).

The next boxes contain many proofs on calendared card stock. Most of the original sheets measured 11 x 14 inches; since the cartoons were much smaller than the full sheets, they have been trimmed to 9 x 11.5 inches. There are many duplicates; some clippings and photocopies are mixed in. Unlike the proof on newsprint, these are carefully made and are often present in multiple copies. It seems likely they were made well after publication, perhaps to satisfy requests for copies, for gift, or in choosing cartoons for derivative publication in book formats, etc.

These next folders consist primarily of proofsheets on newsprint, approximately 8 1/2 x 11, with occasional clippings. Cartoons signed by Thomas Carlisle, Darling’s assistant, appear from 1932 onward and are interfiled with Darling’s without effort to differentiate among the two cartoonists (except in 1936 and 1940, where subfolders separate Darling and Carlisle work respectively). Folders which contain only Darling’s or Carlisle’s work are noted.
