Portfolio

Personal and Professional Papers (1956‑2004) contains correspondence, desk calendars, awards, photographs, publicity files, and sets of slides that Carnase created, organized, and labeled, for use in promoting and lecturing about his work. He was a popular speaker who regularly presented his ideas before colleagues, art directors, and students around the world for more that twenty years. The correspondence files hold records on some of his appearances from Hartford to Phoenix, as well as well as in South Africa in 1976 and Australia in 1986. Carnase’s award certificates date back to 1956 when he won a contest sponsored by the National Live Stock and Meat. Also here are slides of three New York offices at 223 East 31st Street, 217 East 28th Street, and 30 East 21st Street (1982); some of the images include Carnase and Herbert Lubalin at work. Also present are three trade signs from his offices, and a set of drawing instruments he used in his work.
