Biographical Sketch
Harriet Pincus was born on October 13, 1938 in the Bronx, New York City. According
to Ms. Pincus she knew she wanted to be an artist since the fourth grade, when she
became the class artist. She attended the High School of Music and Art and the Art
Students League on Saturdays. At sixteen, she contracted polio, became completely
paralyzed and was kept in an iron lung. After two years in the hospital, she was
given physical therapy and returned home to continue her drawing and painting,
even though she was in a wheelchair.
Her first illustrated book was The Wedding Procession of the Rag Doll and Broom Handle and Who Was in It (1967) by Carl Sandburg. Since that time she has illustrated other books and written one of her own, Minna and Pippin (1972).

Scope and Content
The collection contains illustrations, layouts, color separations and dummies for six
titles. The materials are arranged alphabetically by title. Within each title the
materials are arranged in the probable order in which they were created.
All of the books in the collection are picture books illustrated by Ms. Pincus. Only one of the titles was written by her as well, Minna and Pippin (1972). In the story, Minna gets a new doll named Pippin that she likes to take for a walk. There are two dummies, illustration layouts, color separations, and some publisher's promotional materials.
The other five books in the collection were written by different authors and illustrated by Ms. Pincus.

In this story, Broom Handle marries Rag Doll and all their friends join in the procession of funny characters. There are two bound dummies, color illustrations, illustration layouts, and a layout for promotional material. The Hunkendunkens (1968) is about a man who orders a wife and too many children who all want a puppy of their own. There are illustrations, layouts, and a bound dummy for this title.
