Very interesting. Neat project. Many of these cards seem to be miscut for whatever reason.

Do you have a scan of the Earnshaw or Ferrell that shows the neighbor? I've seen all the others you listed but not that one.

I love these kind of projects! There's a Root on EBay now that is miscut enough to figure out who his neighbor to the left is.

A thank you to those who have contributed on here and by email. I've put together most of a sheet. All the aligned images I've created are posted below. I don't have an image of a miscut Averill, Brandt, Bush, Cochrane, Cronin... Hartnett, Herman...or Ruth. We can see that they're only mostly alphabetical. (He's only mostly dead.) Kremer and Klein are reversed, as are Ruel and Root. And Frisch comes last?
I thought maybe Ruel had been misspelled "Reul," but they got it right when the time came to lay out the backs of the cards at least. Perhaps it is no mere coincidence that most of the ones I haven't found miscut yet are at the beginning of the alphabet. Or perhaps it is a coincidence, but here's an alternative, compound, hypothesis. Everything was printed in a single vertical strip, the person(s) responsible for cutting the sheets systematically aligned the sheets at the left end, and the blades were not precisely spaced for the task. Voila: hardly a miscut to be found at the beginning of the alphabet. If that is in fact the case one would also predict the miscuts to become progressively more common and pronounced as one moved toward the latter part of the strip. I don't have enough data yet to test that, but it's an empirical question and one that future images of the set may shed light on. Last edited by darwinbulldog; 08-19-2014 at 09:20 AM. |
