Description
An account of the resource
Rip Darcy is orphaned the son of a seafaring family and the protagonist of a 1938 book written by Jack O'Brien and illustrated by New Deal Gallery artist <a href="https://openvalley.org/items/show/1264" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bunty Witten</a>. As the story opens Rip is found upon a deserted Pacific Island near Pago Pago, having lived there a year with only his dog Junie for company. What follows is a series of tales that owes something to the boys adventure genre and perhaps <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Tintin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Adventures of Tin Tin</a> by the Belgian artist Hergé. Certainly, both share a love of the global exotic and model a next generation of European explorers who are "clean, straight-forward, unafraid."<br /><br />An interesting innovation of the book is that Rip interacts with real-life members of New York City's Adventurers club, including Witten's husband George Witten. Against the backdrop of manly adventures—wild game hunting, aeronautics, and so on—there is a sweetness to Witten's illustrations that mitigates self-congratulatory tales.
