Freeman, who wrote and illustrated over 20 children's books was also an artist caricaturist and , He self-published Don Freeman's Newsstand which was for the decade or two a personal celebration of his New York and his New York friends. It began in 1938 as a qaurterlly, becoming irregular a decade later and finally ceased appearing in 1968. Beauford Delaney, 1901-1979, an African American, is an important modernist painter. Freeman and Delaney became at least casual friends sometime in the late 1930s. At that time Delany was living at 10 Downing Street, (a condemned house in New York's Manhattan rather than a Prime Minister's residence in London). Freeman wrote a memorable two page piece about Delaney in a 1941 issue of his Newsstand. Freeman described Delaney's occupation of that condemned house with no heat or electricity which ended only when the house next door was torn down which caused the 10 Downing Street to lean dangerously, forcing Delaney to find residence in a loft on Greene Street. Two of Freeman's Delaney carictures appear on the two pages of that article. The third caricature appeared in an earlier 1941 issue of Newsstand and is titled "Beauford Delaney of Downing Street." In addition to Freeman's signature, Beauford Delaney" has been printed in red (Pencil?) across the lower pact of that image. The two pages ( approx. 20 x 29 cm. each) of the later illustrated story have been matted and framed as a single item framed in light wood and under glass. The earlier print (20 x 27 cm., as matted) is framed in thinner and darker wood under glass.…
