Elephant folio. 14 x 9.25 in. [Approx. 650 leaves (sections separately paginated, index leaves to each installment separately numbered as well)]. With 1000s of images, text illustrations, graphic clip art, many images in colour, some full page. Original white vinyl 4-ring binder, red lettering stamped on front cover (minor shelfwear, rubbing), NF copy. First edition, thus, of this complete collection of graphic art produced by one of the largest subscription art services in the world, and issuing copyright free clip art to the newspaper and magazine advertising industries. In addition, many smaller companies such as dance studios, art studios, art schools, and corporate art departments subscribed in order to easily produce in-house art work and promotional materials. The ranges of topics for camera ready copy artwork for printing encompassed holidays, sports, cartoons, comics, special events, menus, fantasy and science fiction artwork, public service campaigns, design motifs, and far more. Founded in 1964 by Milton Bartel, the company rapidly grew out of its Peoria, IL offices, was sold to the Dynamic Graphics employees in 1990, then Creatas (Liquid Library), and later Jupiter Images, finally closing down in April, 2009 when the company was purchased by Getty Images. Complete 12-month issue volumes are quite scarce, and the company maintained an entire stable of free lance artists, who contributed artwork on an ongoing basis. Two of the best known artists anonymously represented by the company were Frank Fruzyna, and Mitch O'Connell. See: Rick Archer, Dynamic Graphics (2011).
