School Days: Pratt Institute and the Golden Age of Comics


Scores of Pratt Institute’s “Illustration” and “Pictorial Illustration” students contributed to the comics industry during its Golden Age and beyond. Some of them worked at the Eisner and Iger Studio which, later, was renamed the Iger Studio. Photos and addresses are from the school annual, Prattonia, which was accessed at Ancestry.com. Names are linked to Who’s Who of American Comic Books 1928–1999 with additional links and information (from Ancestry.com and newspapers) for some.

Lachlan Field
(aka Lochlan Field; Grand Comics Database)
The Addison County Independent (Vermont), November 7, 2004

CORNWALL — Lachlan MacLachlan Field, 91, died at his home in Cornwall, in the care of his children and Addison County Hospice, on Oct. 31, 2004.

Born in Islip, Long Island, N.Y., on Aug. 8, 1913, he was the only son of Ruth Caldwell MacLachlan and Wallace P. Field. He graduated from Pratt Institute in 1937 and later earned teaching certification at the University of Omaha, Nebraska, in 1961.

He worked for the Dennison Paper Company designing paper and cards until he entered the United States Army before World War II. He met his wife, Martha J. Wright, while he was stationed at Fort Ethan Allen in Winooski. He served in the Army for 20 years, both in Europe and the Far East, and retired in 1961 as a lieutenant colonel.

He moved with his family back to Vermont, where he taught grades 7 and 8 at Bridport School, then taught at Middlebury Union High School for 13 years, where he established the arts and crafts program.

He was an artist, and spent his life sketching and painting, leaving notebooks filled with sketches of the soldiers he served with during the war, draft horses he watched at Field Days, and Friendship sloops off the coast of Maine. While in the service, he illustrated for Army Times magazine and displayed his watercolors in many art shows throughout his life.

While a faculty member, he supported many sports teams and drama presentations with posters, sketches, drama sets and yearbook photographs. He created murals based on literary characters for both the Cornwall and Weybridge elementary schools.

He was a charter member of the Middlebury Artists Association, and encouraged many to try their hand at painting.

Other interests included military history, his Scottish heritage, birding locally, and in the 1970s creating cross-country ski trails around town, where he logged many kilometers after his retirement.

He was a member of the Cornwall Volunteer Fire Department.

He leaves a son, Doug, of Cornwall, and a daughter, Peggy, and her husband, Greg Lyons, of Weybridge; three grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his wife, Martha, in 1987, and by his half-brother and half-sister, Jim and Joanne.

Memorial contributions maybe made to Elderly Services/Project Independence, P.O. Box 581, Middlebury, VT 05753 or Addison County Home Health and Hospice, Box 754, Middlebury, VT 05753, or to the American Cancer Society.

    The GCD could use good updates like this on its creator entries. We've imported Bails and Lambiek, but there is so much still to be updated.

    I assume, for example, Dring is the same as the P. Dring in Bails' Who's Who that's been imported over.

    There’s also Witmer Williams, whom the January 14, 1995 edition of The Herald Statesman referred to as having graduated from Pratt in 1941, and is presumably the same Witmer Williams that worked for Quality Comics: http://www.bailsprojects.com/bio.aspx?Name=WILLIAMS%2c+WITMER
