Error during command authentication.
Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
I am hoping someone can help me with a particularly difficult reference question that is outside my area of expertise. A faculty member is looking for more information about the artist behind an illustration that appeared in Punch magazine on January 8, 1881 called “Cherry Un-Ripe” (http://www.lookandlearn.com/history-images/XR509876/Cherry-Un-ripe?img=1&search=Unripe&bool=phrase). The illustration is uncredited, but through HathiTrust, we’ve been able to establish that the artist was a Mr. Stowers: The History of “Punch, Volume 1” https://books.google.com/books?id=tJlBAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA556&dq=stowers+%22cherry+unripe%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjGv5H-tuTXAhWkUd8KHcxVAz4Q6AEIKTAA#v=onepage&q=stowers%20%22cherry%20unripe%22&f=false An evening from among the thousand evenings which may be spent with "Punch." https://books.google.com/books?id=2i5urGmfJ5oC&pg=PA125&dq=%22An+evening+from+among+the+thousand+evenings%22+cherry&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwja7tePj-nXAhUsyoMKHXnGBtIQ6AEIJjAA#v=onepage&q=%22An%20evening%20from%20among%20the%20thousand%20evenings%22%20cherry&f=false The faculty member would like to know anything more that’s available about Stowers, in particular when he was born (the original caption - although presumably facetious – implies he may have been a student himself). If anyone has any other ideas about where we could learn more about him, I would be extremely grateful (you may reply to me off–list at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>). Thank you very much in advance for your help!
