Arthur Rackham, VPRWS (1867-1939) I5 the major gi5t book illustrators were to divide the world betwee= them, Arthur Rackham would claim the =orther= la=ds. His early 5amiliarity with the E=glish cou=tryside was soo= matched by a 5asci=atio= with Germa=y, stimulated by walki=g tours.

1 (opposite) THERE BROKE FORTH A WAILING AND A LAMENTATION Signed and dated 1904 Pen ink and watercolour 15 ¼ x 11 inches Provenance: Luke Gertler Illustrated: Little Folks Magazine, October 1901, ‘Stories of the Edda; of The Gods of Asgard: IX – The Death of Balder’ by E S Buchheim (in black and white); The Land of Enchantment, London: Cassell and Company, 1907, Page 137, ‘Stories from the Edda: IX – The Death of Balder’ by E S Buchheim (in black and white) Arthur Rackham reworked the drawing between its appearances in Little Folks and The Land of Enchantment, and subsequently coloured it.

There broke forth a wailing and a lamentation Between 1896 and 1905, Arthur Rackham regularly illustrated stories that appeared in Little Folks, a ‘magazine for the young’ edited by his friend, Sam Hamer. In 1907, the magazine’s publisher, Cassell, collected together 2ve of these stories, with their illustrations, in the volume, The Land of Enchantment. One the 2ve, ‘Stories from the Edda’, was itself a collection of eleven Norse myths retold by Emma Sophia Buchheim (1860-1951), a writer, translator and lecturer in German at King’s College, London. Her retellings were based on two Icelandic literary works, the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda, both written down in the thirteenth century. The present work illustrates the ninth of the ‘Stories from the Edda’, entitled ‘The Death of Balder’. The gods were afraid for the safety of Balder the Beloved, one of their number and the son of Odin and Frigg. Frigg took an oath from all things living and dead that no harm should come to him. The Gods then considered him so safe that it became their sport to throw weapons at him. However, one god, Loki, who was envious of Balder, discovered that Frigg had asked no oath from mistletoe, because it seemed so insigni2cant. So he obtained the mistletoe and gave it to Hœder, who, blind and weaponless, had not joined in the sport. Under Loki’s direction, Hœder threw the plant, pierced Balder’s skin and killed him. Rackham’s illustration captures the immediate response to his death, as the gods begin to lament. Balder’s brother, Hermodhr, followed his body to the underworld. On arrival, he pleaded with Hel, the presiding goddess, to let Balder return with him, because the whole world was grieving. She agreed to let him go, on condition that all things on earth, both living and dead, wept for him. Unfortunately, a giantess named Thœck (believed by some to be Loki in disguise) refused to do so, saying that ‘Little good had I from him, living or dead’. So Balder remained with Hel. The unwitting murderer, Hœder, was killed by Vali, another of Balder’s brothers, while Loki was permanently bound to three upright stones. The death of Balder is considered the 2rst in a chain of events that leads to Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods.

Helen Beatrix Potter (1866-1943) Beatrix Potter’s picture books remai= a la=dmark i= the history o5 the ge=re. Origi=ally published i= a variety o5 5orms, each volume had its appeara=ce tailored to a particular text, a=d the i=tegratio= o5 word a=d image was care5ully co=sidered. Though Potter made use o5 a basic a=thropomorphism, she te=ded to eschew 5urther 5a=tasy, a=d the great success o5 her illustratio= o5te= lies i= the se=se it gives o5 a particular place. Beatrix Potter was born at 2 Bolton Gardens, South Kensington, London, on 28 July 1866, the elder child and only daughter of a barrister who chose to live as a dilettante, with painting and photography numbered among his interests. Beatrix herself led a very sheltered life for many years, remaining with her parents until she was nearly 40. Educated at home, she was entirely self-taught as an artist. She sketched fungi, fossils and fabrics in the South Kensington Museums, and animals, both furtively at home, and during family summer holidays in the Lake District and Scotland. Then developing an interest in illustration, she absorbed the in uence of Thomas Bewick, Randolph Caldecott, Walter Crane and John Tenniel, as she published some greetings’ cards and a 2rst book, The Happy Pair (both 1890). Three years later, she invented the character of Peter Rabbit in a series of picture-letters for Noel Moore, the son of her former companion, Annie Carter. These formed the basis of The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was privately printed in 1900, and 2nally accepted by Frederick Warne & Co two years later. This was followed by several more of her classic tales. After a 2erce battle with her parents, in 1905, Potter became engaged to Norman Warne, her editor, though two years later he died. Soon after, she bought Hill Top Farm at Sawrey, near Windermere, gaining a measure of independence and becoming a capable farmer. During the following eight years she produced much of her best work, and both her home and the adjacent Castle Farm, which she bought in 1909, were used as the settings for at least six of her books. Originally published in a variety of forms, each volume had its appearance tailored to a particular text, and the integration of word and image was carefully considered. Though Potter made use of a basic anthropomorphism, she tended to eschew further fantasy, and the great success of her illustration often lies in the sense it gives of a particular place. Following her marriage to William Heelis, an Appleby solicitor, in 1913, Potter worked little as an illustrator and spent much of her time farming. She died at Hill Top Farm on 22 December 1943. Her properties were bequeathed to the National Trust.

Her work is represented in numerous public collections, including the British Museum, Tate and the V&A.

Squirrel with a Hazelnut Squirrels are much rarer players than mice in Beatrix Potter’s fantasy works, although she often drew them for children in picture letters. Occasionally she lets them engage in quasi-human activities, but rarely treats them anthropomorphically. They are never clothed. She preferred to draw them as wild creatures in their native surroundings, among tree branches or as small 2gures in a woodland glade. This striking squirrel is not Nutkin but a predecessor, drawn in a more schematic setting and momentarily still: seemingly a very di erent character from the familiar impudent and hyperactive hero of her celebrated Tale. On 8 August 1896, holidaying with Mr and Mrs Potter in Sawrey, Beatrix visited her Gaddum cousins at Sawrey Knotts on Windermere. That same day she wrote to young Eric Moore, ‘my little cousin Molly Gaddum has a squirrel and two babies’, and drew them for him. She refers to this visit in a letter sent from London on 6 March 1897 to four-year-old Molly’s brother Walter, then aged seven, showing a crouching squirrel, facing to the left and holding a nut. She had already sent Walter several ingenious movable ‘toy pictures’, now in the V&A and Cotsen Collections; Molly however was given the original tale of a 2shing frog. Six years later another nut-eating squirrel, enclosed in a circular frame but now reversed to face right again, decorates the title page of The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin. In Perthshire Beatrix Potter observed a squirrel trying to catch sparrows: ‘its 2erce little excited movements reminded me of a monkey’ (Journal, 21 August 1892). Writing on the same day to Eric Moore from Birnam, she records a Nutkin-like squirrel several generations older than Nutkin himself, but he was born among the red squirrel colonies of Cumberland. Between 1897 and 1907 the Potters stayed no fewer than seven times, in late summer and autumn, on the shores of Derwentwater – and here the seeds of a new story were sown. The hero makes his 2rst appearance in an illustrated letter sent to Norah Moore from Lingholm on 25 September 1901. Beatrix had seen a tail-less squirrel: ‘he was so impertinent, chattering and clattering and throwing down acorns onto my head’; most unusually, she includes herself in her drawing of this little drama. The new Tale had a long gestation: landscape sketches were done in late Summer 1901, and drawings for the book begun in December 1902. Live models had to be bought from a London pet shop, since her cousins’ gamekeeper

at Melford Hall could not get a squirrel (letter to Norman Warne, 22 November 1902). The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin was published at last in August 1903, supplanting a planned nursery rhyme book. Its illustrations include some of the artist’s most characteristic and charming images. Beatrix Potter tried out di erent styles and techniques from early in her career; as she experimented, so her con2dence grew. The greetings card designs, the picture stories and the rhyme sequences produced from 1890 onwards are executed with a miniaturist’s 2ne dry brush, and most of the line drawings too are drawn with a 2ne nib. Her animal studies, both scienti2c and imaginary, vary in size as well as technique. Squirrels were di cult models, volatile and hyperactive: such a fast-moving creature had to be captured in pencil impressions or in rapid washes. She 2lled whole sketchbooks with squirrels; other studies include the ‘head of a dead specimen’, an experiment in grey wash. There were also experiments in ‘grisaille’: 2ne stippled lines in grey wash heightened with white, as in The Squirrel’s Gift. A matched pair of designs shows two squirrels on a log; they 2t together perfectly to make a shaped greetings card. Squirrel anatomy, with its supple, serpentine form, lent itself to designs for borders, an endpaper design, and layouts for menu cards (all un2nished). Beatrix Potter’s subjects are individuals, but their individuality is especially striking in the larger-scale images, whether fantasy subjects such as The Rabbits’ Christmas Party or straightforwardly scienti2c studies ‘from nature’. (Even the fungi have personality.) For such portraits, relatively rare among her work, she chose a brighter palette, as in two striking parrot studies at the Free Library of Philadelphia. A pointillistic owl painted in a surprising range of tints is not Old Mr Brown but her brother’s pet owl from the mid-1890s. We know of only one mouse picture (from 1896) drawn in a technique similar to that found in the Gaddum squirrel, using a broader brush and looser brushstrokes. This squirrel is almost certainly little Molly Gaddum’s pet, ‘Mrs. Frisky’. The artist has succeeded in conveying its large lustrous eye, the feathery texture of its coat, and the soft downy texture of the hazel leaves among which it sits alert and wary, pausing for a moment as it feasts.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe From an early age Beatrix Potter was fascinated by folklore: fairy tales, fables and traditional rhymes. Writing to her publisher in July 1902, she suggested a book of nursery rhymes in the style of ‘Caldecott and The Baby’s Opera’, but an original story won the day (The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin appeared in August 1903). Planned for 1905 instead, the rhyme book was delayed by the death of her 2ancé, Norman Warne. It survives in the National Trust collection as a manuscript dummy, the ‘1905 Book of Rhymes’. Rough sketches, some coloured and most with framed borders, accompany a collection of over 30 rhymes; all but one have animal protagonists. According to The Oxford Dictionary of Nursery Rhymes, the celebrated inhabitant of a shoe ‘has been identi2ed with several ladies’, probably because they had large families; the authors discreetly refer to the symbolism of the shoe. ‘The Old Woman who lived in a Shoe’ is an ancient rhyme, surviving in a variety of texts, more or less crude. Beatrix Potter’s verses veer from the one most familiar today (used here) to her own cosier adaptation for Appley Dapply’s Nursery Rhymes in 1917, ‘You know the old woman who lived in a shoe?’. It ends ‘I think if she lived in a little shoehouse – /That little old woman was surely a mouse!’ This three-page rhyme sequence comprises six of eight lines (in Beatrix Potter’s hand) and three pictures: a running mouse; a mother mouse with babies and cradle; and a white mouse lying in bed. Mice proliferate in most of Beatrix Potter’s early rhyme pictures, often charmingly clothed but still mouse-like. She became especially fond of mice. ‘I shall be glad to get done

with the rabbits’, she declared in a letter to Norman Warne (18 February 1904). On the 2rst page are 2ve lines of the rhyme in manuscript; on the second page is the last line of the second verse; and the third page has no text at all. Best-known of the three images is the second one, of which at least eight variants are known. Here the mother mouse sits in a rocking chair, nursing a mouse baby as she rocks with her foot a wooden cradle containing two more young mice. This scene was re-drawn for the picture of Hunca Munca and her family in The Tale of Two Bad Mice (1904), where four little mice are crammed into a wicker cradle from the doll’s house: ‘Hunca Munca has got the cradle, and some of Lucinda’s clothes’. The design was redrawn much larger and in heavy black ink for Peter Rabbit’s Painting Book (1911). Animals tucked up in bed, sick or sleeping, were a favourite subject. The 2rst known ailing mouse (but surely this is a rat?) was drawn in August 1892, during a stay in Perthshire. The attendant physician was Dr Culbard of Birnam, caricatured as a mole; the mouse was Mrs Potter. Also at Birnam, Beatrix had been giving medicine to a very ill mouse (21 August 1892). In a letter to Noel Moore (8 March 1895) we 2nd another mousepatient, cared for by Mr Mole and Nurse Mouse with a tea-cup. By 1901 (26 October) the brass bed has become a four poster at Melford Hall – and the mouse is Beatrix. From about 1890 Beatrix Potter produced a number of illustrated sequences, captioned or wordless. Most were devised as gifts, but some were done for pro2t. As so often with her designs, the original image

Inscribed with title Pen ink and watercolour Three images measuring 4 x 6 ½, 4 x 6 ½, and 4 x 5 ½ inches Exhibited: ‘The Long Nineteenth Century: Treasures and Pleasures’, Chris Beetles Gallery, March-April 2014, No 161 Drawn about 1917

The three images shown mounted inspires a number of variants; one is a two-page version presented to her cousin Caroline Hutton for Christmas 1897. There are extra images in the dummy ‘Book of Rhymes’, as also in the most complete sequence yet known: 2ve sheets dated February 1897 (Linder Bequest, V&A Museum); here too the last scene is an image without text. The National Trust and V&A versions both illustrate ‘She whipped them all round’, not included in Appley Dapply’s Nursery Rhymes. By 1917 Beatrix Potter’s publishers were in trouble and desperately needed a new story – but she insisted on a rhyme book. It is a ‘patchwork’ of old and new, compiled in a hurry. Of the seven rhymes selected, nearly all are original and only the ‘Old Woman in a Shoe’, fourth in the book, is a traditional nursery rhyme. It has two illustrations: the mice in a shoe, and (to accompany the end of the rhyme, when the children are in bed) a peacefully knitting mouse. This design was originally intended for a cover; it

belongs to an unpublished knitting rhyme, and is not included in any of her earlier versions of ‘The Old Woman who lived in a Shoe’. Neither knitting mouse nor mice in a shoe belong to the sequence shown here, but its 2rst picture inspired the cover of Appley Dapply’s Nursery Rhymes. Featuring variously as mother, waitress or nurse, the running mouse is less often included in letters or illustrations than the other two designs. Here she scurries o to the left, bringing broth in a tureen – but in a letter to Freda Moore (Winchelsea, 26 January 1900), Beatrix draws her landlady as a mouse with a steaming plate of food. In both these images the mouse runs to the left; but on the Appley Dapply cover the image is reversed. Now she is no longer the Old Woman mouse but Appley herself, running with a plate of jam tarts. Characteristically, Beatrix Potter is re-using her basic design, for a di erent rhyme.

He included him in his list of the ‘33 Greatest Painters of the XIX Century’ (held in the Rackham family collections) and encouraged him to put himself up for election to the Royal Society of Painters in Water-Colours. Nevertheless, it was through his mastery of pen and ink draughtsmanship that Sullivan most strongly a ected Rackham.

Frank Reynolds as a Book Illustrator Frank Reynolds is best remembered as a cartoonist for Punch, and for his role as its art editor during the 1920s. However, he was on occasion an outstanding book illustrator, especially of novels by Charles Dickens, in editions published by Hodder: David Copper eld (1911), The Pickwick Papers (1912) and The Old Curiosity Shop (1913). In his illustrations, he applied watercolour with great sensitivity in order to capture the individual personality of each character. The specialist on illustration, A E Johnson, went so far as to state that ‘until we see that wonderful gallery of fanciful personalities which began with Mr Pickwick and his companions portrayed by the pencil of Frank Reynolds, we shall have to wait still for the perfect edition of Dickens.’ (Frank Reynolds, London: A & C Black, 1907, page 56).

Georg Janny was born in Vienna on 20 May 1864, three years before it became one of the two capitals of the newly-established Austro-Hungarian Empire. He worked in the studios of Brioschi, Burghart and Kautsky, Imperial and Royal Court Theatre Painters in Vienna, alongside Alphonse Mucha, Konrad Petrides and Leopold Rothaug, among others. The company produced sets for companies abroad as well as at home, including New York’s Metropolitan Opera. In 1898, Janny collaborated with Karl Schüller in painting the safety curtain at the Vienna Volksoper for the golden jubilee of Emperor Franz Joseph I. Following the death of Hermann Burghart in 1901, Janny, Petrides and Rothaug took over the company, and based themselves at Paletzgasse 38. In 1904, they exhibited together at the Austrian Pavilion of the St Louis World’s Fair with scenes from the Imperial Royal Austrian State Railways (that are now in the collections of the Technisches Museum, Vienna). Two years later, Janny produced the designs for a production at the Vienna State Opera of Karl Goldmark’s Die Königen von Saba, one of the most popular operas of the late nineteenth century. During the First World War, Janny turned from theatre design to easel painting. This was probably as an outcome of the impending dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the resulting lack of opportunities to work on elaborate theatrical productions. He painted landscapes and 2gures, including scenes from fairy tales or imaginary worlds, which were compared at the time to the works of Arnold Böcklin and Hermann Vogel. These he exhibited most regularly at the Kunstverein in Baden bei Wien and with the artists’ co-operative, Albrecht-Dürer-Bundes, of which he was a member and sometime archivist. He died in Vienna on 21 February 1935. The contents of his estate are now in the possession of the Hernals District Museum in Vienna.

It has been suggested that he began his close friendship with the future writer, J B Priestley (1894-1984), at Belle Vue. However, this is unlikely, given that Priestley arrived at the school in 1905, while Mackenzie 2nished his schooling in about 1903. By that time, he and his family had moved to 31 Balfour Street, and his father had established a wholesale business in bakery and confectionery. Mackenzie was encouraged to develop his ability to draw by teachers at both his schools. However, his parents were apparently reluctant to let him pursue an artistic career. What happened next, and for the seven years of his life between the ages of 15 and 22, is not known. A story has circulated that he ran away to study in Munich, a signi2cant artistic centre at the time. This has been accepted by Peter Cope (2011, page 9), but dismissed by Colin White (1988, page 11), who suggests instead that he undertook an apprenticeship (which conventionally took seven years), possibly as a draughtsman at a 2rm of engineers or printers. At the time that Mackenzie entered Bradford School of Art in 1910, he and his family had moved to 443 Killinghall Road, and his father had become an insurance agent. While there, he met fellow student, Florence Mary Anderson, who, like him, would become an accomplished illustrator. In 1912, both he and she won scholarships for two years’ study in drawing and painting at the Slade School of Art, in London, under Henry Tonks. However, Mackenzie left after a year, possibly because of an aesthetic disagreement or because he decided to seek paid work. In the meantime, he and Anderson had become lovers, and she gave birth to a son, Murray Anderson Mackenzie (in Epsom, Surrey, in May 1914). Murray would be brought up mostly by his grandparents in Yorkshire. On leaving the Slade in 1913, Mackenzie went to the publisher and distributor, Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co, and presented his

portfolio, which contained drawings that showed the in uence of Aubrey Beardsley and Harry Clarke. As a result of the visit, he received a commission to illustrate a small volume of Christmas carols, and this would eventually be published in 1916 (with the illustrations being credited to ‘T Mackenzie’). In the meantime, he made a somewhat uncertain living, mainly contributing drawings to The Sketch and other magazines. He also received an important commission from the publisher, James Nisbet, to illustrate Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp, a large new gift book with a rhyming text by Arthur Ransome. However, this project was temporarily abandoned as a result of the increasing scale of the world war. In a letter of 15 February 1915, Ransome complained that Mackenzie had ‘suddenly gone o to Serbia’ on active service. Page 18

Scheherazade Dancing Thomas Mackenzie was one of the most eclectic of gift book illustrators, who almost revelled in his absorption of in uences. Here, in the 2gure of Scheherazade, he quotes most obviously from the work of Léon Bakst (1866-1924), the designer of sets and costumes most closely associated with Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes. The Ballets Russes was one of the most culturally signi2cant phenomena of the early twentieth century, employing and in uencing many of the greatest 2gures working internationally in the 2elds of literature, music and the visual arts, as well as of dance itself. The company made its British debut in 1911, during the celebrations for the coronation of George V, and returned to London regularly both before and after the First World War, until 1922. Mackenzie is likely to have attended performances of the Ballets Russes and undoubtedly saw reproductions of Bakst’s costume designs. The company had created a ballet to the music of Rimsky-Korsakov’s symphonic suite, Scheherazade, in 1910, but Mackenzie based his 2gure of Scheherazade on Bakst’s design for the costume of a Boetian youth, a character in the ballet, Narcisse. Narcisse was choreographed by Michel Fokine to a specially-written score by Nikolai Tcherepnin, and premiered in Monte Carlo in April 1911, with Vaslav Nijinsky in the title role. Narcisse was the 2rst of three Greekthemed ballets designed by Bakst, who had been making a thorough study of ancient Greek costume since 1902, when he prepared designs for productions of Greek tragedies in St Petersburg. He rejected the monochromaticism of Neo-Classicism in favour of a brighter palette and more exotic patterning, which was both more archaeologically accurate and visually exciting. The design for the Boetian youth was among those included in the book, L’Art decoratif de Léon Bakst, which was published in Paris in 1913.

THOMA S MACKEnZIE

Biography of Thomas Mackenzie continued from Page 16 At the end of the First World War, Mackenzie bought Old Rushes, a cottage in the Hertfordshire village of Rushden, and this would remain his bolt hole for years to come. In 1918, Harrap published his 2rst signi2cant book, Ali Baba and Aladdin, his name appearing on it as ‘T Blakeley Mackenzie’. In the following year, Nisbet 2nally published its version of Aladdin in both deluxe and trade editions in time for the Christmas market (the illustrator appearing simply as ‘Mackenzie’). It was well received by the critics, and proved in uential, even on the design by William Cameron Menzies of the 1924 2lm, The Thief of Bagdad (over which Mackenzie would consider legal action). Nisbet followed Aladdin with Arthur and His Knights, solely in a trade edition (1920), Mackenzie illustrating a text by his friend and Nisbet’s juvenile book editor, Christine Chaundler. By 1921, he ‘was said to be the best paid illustrator in the country’ (White, 1988, page 27). In the years immediately following the war, Mackenzie and Anderson ‘rented various properties in and around London as well as travelling between London and Yorkshire singly or together’, though ‘they seem to have grown apart’ (Cope, 2011, page 13). In 1921, while on a walking holiday in Yorkshire, he met Katharine Clayton, who had recently completed her studies in jewellery design at Birmingham School of Art. He and Clayton spent increasing amounts of time together, including a further visit to Yorkshire in 1923, during which he made preparatory drawings for the illustrations to his next book, for Bodley Head, which were executed in etching, linocut and watercolour. This was the non-2ction volume, Brontë Moors and Villages from Thornton to Haworth, by Elizabeth Southwart, whose work Anderson had also illustrated. Mackenzie’s next two illustrative projects were more characteristic, in being gift books that showcased his talents for, respectively, the Orientalist and the fantastic. These were James Elroy Flecker’s play, Hassan (Heinemann, 1924), and James Stephens’ The Crock of Gold (Macmillan, 1926), the latter appearing in both deluxe and trade editions. Perhaps responding to a boom in etching, Mackenzie worked increasingly as a printmaker, and exhibited etchings and engravings with the London dealer, Alex Reid & Lefèvre. It is therefore understandable that his last two books should be illustrated with forms of print, linocuts for F J Harvey Darton’s A Parcel of Kent (Nisbet, 1926), and drypoints for a two-volume limited edition of Walter Pater’s Marius the Epicurean (Macmillan, 1929, with an introduction by Mackenzie’s friend, the poet and critic, J C Squire). In 1925, Mackenzie and Anderson had married at Hampstead Registry O ce in order to make Murray legitimate. However, shortly afterwards,

Anderson 2led for divorce on the grounds of Mackenzie’s adultery. Cope explains that ‘It is on record that the presiding judge suspected collusion between the parties, but subsequent enquiries failed to substantiate his view’ (2011, page 14). The divorce was granted in October 1928. In January 1929, Mackenzie married Katharine Clayton at Hampstead Registry O ce. Soon after, they left for Paris, where Mackenzie hoped to ful2l a long-held dream of establishing himself as a painter. Inspired by the formal qualities of both Piero della Francesca and Cézanne, he had for some time been producing landscapes and still lifes. However, he did not succeed in his plan, and after six months they returned to live at his cottage in Rushden with their savings depleted. He then survived by contributing to magazines and selling topographical etchings to gift shops (including views of Oxford), while Katharine produced jewellery. In 1936, he exhibited at the Royal Academy for his one and only time; the work, entitled Tuning Up, was probably an etching. In 1937, the Mackenzies moved to Cornwall, and settled in a stone cottage in Trewetha Lane, Trewetha, near Port Isaac. There they founded a summer school for paying students, which initially proved a success, but was forced to close following the outbreak of the Second World War. In the Register for 1939, Mackenzie described himself as ‘artist, designer, etcher, lithographer, visualiser’, and Katharine as ‘artist, jeweller, etcher’. They returned to making jewellery and, in his spare time, Mackenzie wrote detective novels; however, he thought none of them worthy of publication and requested that, following his death, they be destroyed. Thomas Mackenzie died of lung cancer at home in Trewetha on 8 December 1944, at the age of 56. His ashes were scattered over Buckden Moor, Yorkshire, where he and Katharine had 2rst met.

Charles Rebel Stanton was born in Kentish Town, London, on 3 February 1887, the third of seven children of the book seller’s assistant, Charles Stanton, and his wife, Amelia (née Tate). At the time of the 1891 Census, the family was living at 22 Corinne Road, Islington. Nothing is known of Stanton’s education but, at the time of the 1901 Census, when he was 14 years old, he was working as a Science Assistant for the School Board of London, probably at a local school. By then, he and his family had moved to 121 South Street, Greenwich, and his father was working as a carpenter. In The Art of the RMS Queen Mary (1994), Douglas M Hinkey describes Stanton as ‘a painter trained as an architect’. While nothing is known of his architectural training, he is described as an ‘artist’ in the 1911 Census, which also records that he was still living with his family, which had moved to 53 Grosvenor Park SE, St Mary Newington. In the previous year, he had won second prize in the class for ‘pictorial art’ in a competition organised by the magazine, The Studio. Charles Stanton began his career as a commercial artist, designing posters and postcards and illustrating books, and signing his work ‘Charles R Stanton’. Commissions included a poster for the Fine Art Society that was general enough in its design to have been used to advertise any number of exhibitions (though the example that has come to light promoted ‘Water Colours of Flower Time … by Rosa Wallis’ of 1911). His postcard designs ranged between imaginary monsters (published by C W Faulkner & Co) and views of Minehead and Dunster (published by Frith). He also contributed illustrations to Hutchinson’s History of the Nations (1914-16). Following the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, Stanton enlisted as a Private in the First Surrey Ri es in March 1915. He became a Second Lieutenant in September of that year and a Lieutenant in the following June. One of his younger brothers, John Tate Stanton, served in the same regiment, and died in 1916. Though not an o cial war artist during the First World War, Stanton produced a number of watercolours of the devastated landscapes of Belgium and northern France while on active service. He also designed a Christmas card for the regiment.

Charles Rebel Stanton sketching the design for the nickel-coated panel on the RMS Queen Mary It has been suggested that Stanton began to make use of his middle name, Rebel, during the First World War. Certainly, he signed his work ‘C Rebel Stanton’ after the war, and was sometimes known simply as Rebel Stanton. From the early 1920s, he designed book covers for publishers that included Mills & Boon. Gradually, he established his reputation with watercolours of alluring young women that were published in such magazines as The Bystander, The Illustrated London News, Picture Post, The Sketch and The Tatler. He also worked as a painter in oils, producing not only landscapes but also a series symbolising the progress of transport through the ages, which was commissioned for Transport House, the London headquarters of the Transport and General Workers’ Union. In 1926, he married Eunice Emily Cantrell Stones, who was 12 years his junior, and they settled together at a at in Warren House, 295 Euston Road. In 1930, he would hold an exhibition at his studio in Warren House. During the early 1930s, Stanton spent two years perfecting a new form of relief, in which he superimposed layers of American whitewood, which he then painted in tempera or oil. The process was described in H B Newbold’s Modern Practical Building (which 2rst appeared in 1934). Examples of these reliefs included medallions of Derby winners that temporarily decorated the Plaza Hall, Dublin, the venue of the Irish Sweepstake draw (1932) and a frieze for an aerodrome administration block, commissioned by the Fairby Construction Company (1935). Most famous, however, was the nickelcoated mural panel that incorporated a clock, which he produced for the Second Class Lounge of the Queen Mary (1935). This was a particularly prestigious commission, as the liner was something of a oating ambassador and showcased the talents of many of Britain’s leading artists. Stanton also developed a line in decorative masks, including one of the comic actor,

Will Hay, which graced the bohemian Arts and Letters Club, in Ham Yard, Soho, of which the artist was a member (1937). By 1936, Stanton had divorced his wife Eunice (who, in that year, would marry a pottery agent called Gordon Munro). He was living at 101 Adelaide Road, Chalk Farm, in 1937, and at 24 Formosa Street, Maida Vale, two years later. During the Second World War, Stanton produced drawings and paintings of bomb damaged buildings in London, and speci2cally of the Holborn area between September 1940 and July 1941. However, it is uncertain whether he ever received a commission from the War Artists’ Advisory Committee to produce such images. (In a PhD thesis of 1991, B F Foss records that he made four unsuccessful applications to the WAAC.) By 1946, Stanton was based at Redcli e Road, in Kensington. In that year, he produced The Silver Star Statuette, the hallmarked silver trophy for the new National Film Award, based on a competition-winning design by a young Southport schoolteacher, Juliet Brothers. Three such statuettes were presented annually by the Daily Mail for the best British 2lm, and the best performance by an actor and an actress in British 2lms. His work is represented in the collections of the Cuming Museum, Art Collection and Local History Library and Archive (Southwark). 12 GHOULIES AND GHOOSTIES Signed Watercolour and bodycolour 23 x 17 3 4 inches Illustrated: The Sketch, 6 April 1927, Page 18

Helen Jacobs was born in Ilford, Essex, on 10 October 1888, the daughter of the wharf manager, William Jacobs, and his second wife, Ellen (née Flory). The youngest member of the family, she had four half-siblings, the eldest of whom was the popular writer, W W Jacobs, and four siblings. She spent her childhood in Stoke Newington, London, at addresses that included 112 Manor Road (by 1891) and 3 Paradise Row (by 1901). Jacobs studied under Arthur Legge at the art school of the West Ham Municipal College. While there, in 1910, she contributed a box, painted with characteristic fairies, to the National Competitions of Schools of Art, which was illustrated in The Studio. From that year, she began to exhibit watercolours at mixed exhibitions, including those organised by the Royal Academy of Arts, the Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colours and the Dudley Gallery. It may be assumed that, as a member of the British Watercolour Society, she was also represented in its exhibitions. In addition, she produced a series of drawings of species of moth for the entomologist, Lord Rothschild.

While beginning to establish herself, in the years 1911-12, Jacobs had lived with her sister, Florence, at Carisbrooke, Osborne Road, Buckhurst Hill, Essex. However, by 1914, she had returned to London and settled in Winchmore Hill, living at 34 Queen’s Avenue by 1917, and remaining there until her death. In her later years, Jacobs taught at a primary school in Stoke Newington, and turned to illustrating school books and primers. These included frequent collaborations with her friend Stella Mead (‘The Open Road’ series, and other Nisbet publications, and later titles published by the University of London Press) and some with Constance M Martin (particularly the ‘Riverside Readers’, published by Philip & Tacey). The pedagogic material led to a move away from the precise beauty of her early fairy watercolours to a brighter, bolder graphic style. Helen Jacobs died on 15 December 1970.

Jacobs quickly established herself as a children’s illustrator, working mainly in watercolour and pen and ink. She contributed to annuals (including Pip & Squeak and Playbox) and periodicals (including The Sunday Fairy), while responding increasingly to commissions from major publishers, most notably Harrap.

Ida Rentoul Outhwaite was born Ida Rentoul in Carlton, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, on 9 June 1888, the younger of the two surviving children of the Reverend John Lawrence Rentoul, a Presbyterian minister and professor of theology at Ormond College, University of Melbourne, and his wife, Annie (née Rattray). She was educated at the Presbyterian Ladies’ College, Melbourne, where she proved herself to be academically brilliant. In 1903, at the age of 15, Ida began to work closely with her writer sister, Annie, and in that year they contributed six illustrated fairy stories to the weekly magazine, The New Idea: A Woman’s Home Journal for Australasia. They re2ned their collaboration in the following year in their 2rst book, Mollie and the Bunyip, which was well received. The collaboration was then developed in the 2rst of their famous songbooks, Australian Songs for Young and Old, with music by Georgette Peterson, which was launched at the Australian Exhibition of Women’s Work, Melbourne, in October 1907. In the December of the same year, the sisters produced a pantomime book, The Story of the Pantomime Humpty Dumpty, to accompany a production at Her Majesty’s Theatre, Melbourne, for which Ida had designed the costumes. Printed in chromolithographic colour, its illustrations – inspired by the work of Walter Crane – indicated a greater versatility and a particular feel for comedy. The many strands of Ida’s early work were brought together in 1908 in both the 2rst Australian edition of her sister’s version of Peter Pan and their 2rst substantial story book, The Lady of the Blue Beads. In 1909, Ida married Arthur Grenbry Outhwaite, manager – and later managing director – of the Perpetual Executors and Trustees Association of Australia. Together they had four children, all of whom served as models for the 2gures in her later illustrations. The second phase of her career was launched by an exhibition at the Fine Art Society, Melbourne, in September 1916. This coincided with the publication of Elves and Fairies, which made much of the ability of new printing

processes to reproduce the subtleties of watercolour. Further shows followed and, on her 2rst trip to England in 1920, Outhwaite exhibited at the Fine Art Society, London. Her success led to a series of 2ve colour-plate books by A & C Black. These included The Enchanted Forest (1921), the 2rst of her collaborations with her husband, and The Little Green Road to Fairyland (1922), probably her most popular collaboration with her sister. In her later books, fairies were displaced from their central position by animals, a change that re ected wider shifts in fashion. Unfortunately, this did not prove popular with her readership. Ida’s husband, Arthur Outhwaite, died in 1938, and both their sons died in action in the Second World War, during which she worked in censorship. She spent her last years with her unmarried sister living in a at in Caul2eld, a suburb of Melbourne. She died in Caul2eld on 25 June 1960.

Rec hidcU Mhxeme__ehd Giicboam, iR neaC npR (1872-1956) Equally valued as a caricaturist and writer, Max Beerbohm sustained an elegant detachment in art and life. Though the tone of his drawings is often lightly wicked, it is also a ectionate, for he hated to wound his subjects, most of whom he knew and liked. As a result, he was on safest ground in satirising artists and writers of the past, and in making many self-caricatures.

‘the greatest caricaturist of the kind – that is, portrayer of personalities – in the history of art’ (e`m\d` We_sod, 1954, q\oti` ed R n Giacmhd, Portrait of Max: an intimate memoir of Sir Max Beerbohm, niw yock: rhd`om ho\si, 1960, Zhgi 262)

King Edward the Seventh

‘Both as Prince of Wales and as King, Edward VII (1841-1910) was Max’s favourite subject. The Hart-Davis Catalogue lists 72 caricatures of him (a number only surpassed by self-caricatures …). The Prince and later King was vulgar: he had next to no book learning; he cared little for the arts beyond theatregoing; his delights were the race course, the gambling table, food and drink, and, notoriously, philandering … Max, while still a schoolboy, began caricaturing the Prince of Wales, and never left o . There are those who feel Max despised Edward, but their view fails to take into account Max’s sense of fun, his love of irony, his genuine delight in anything touching the ridiculous, his broad sympathy for simple souls, whatever their position in life … As King, Edward fascinated Max more than ever. He drew him constantly and unsparingly. One of Edward’s “salient” features was his large, pointed nose. Max said, à propos of the King, “The noses of fat men do not follow suit with the rest of them as they age. The noses become, if anything, sharper, thinner”’. (n Joad hh__, Max Beerbohm.

WILLIAM HE ATH ROBINSON

WIL L IA M H E AT H RO B I N S O N William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) Heath Robinson is a household name, and a byword for a design or construction that is ‘ingeniously or ridiculously over-complicated’ (as de ned by The New Oxford Dictionary of English, 1998, page 848). Yet, he was also a highly distinctive and versatile illustrator, whose work could touch at one extreme the romantic watercolours of a Dulac or Rackham, at another the sinister grotesqueries of a Peake, and at yet another the eccentricities of an Emett. For a biography of William Heath Robinson, please refer to The Illustrators, 2018, page 22. Essays on various aspects of Heath Robinson’s achievements have appeared in previous editions of The Illustrators: on his illustrations to Rabelais in 1996, pages 112-113; on the relationship of his illustrations to those of Arthur Rackham in 1997, pages 124-125; on his illustrations to The Arabian Nights Entertainments in 1999, pages 73-74; and on one of his illustrations to Twelfth Night in 2000, pages 17-18.

The Chris Beetles Gallery has mounted a number of signi cant exhibitions of the work of William Heath Robinson, including: 1. ‘William Heath Robinson (1872-1944)’, Chris Beetles Gallery, March 1987 (with a fully illustrated catalogue) 2. ‘The Brothers Robinson’, Chris Beetles Gallery and the Royal Festival Hall, February 1992 (with a fully illustrated catalogue – see catalogue image) 3. ‘William Heath Robinson (1872-1944). 50th Anniversary Exhibition’, Chris Beetles Gallery, September 1994 4. ‘The Gadget King’, Manchester City Art Galleries, Heaton Hall, May-October 2000 5. ‘W Heath Robinson’, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Linbury Room, November 2003 (to complement Dulwich’s own exhibition of William Heath Robinson) 6. ‘Heath Robinson at Nunnington Hall’, National Trust, Nunnington Hall, North Yorkshire, July 2005 7. ‘Contraptions. William Heath Robinson (1872-1944)’, Chris Beetles Gallery, June-August 2007 (to launch a volume of cartoons published by Duckworth) 8. ‘William Heath Robinson 1872-1944’, Chris Beetles Gallery, May-June 2011 (with a fully illustrated catalogue– see catalogue image) 9. ‘The Inventive Art of William Heath Robinson’, Chris Beetles Gallery, March-April 2016

Drawling and crooning, waiting to be collected … In the luggage office (where I was sometimes weighed, As a great treat, on the station scales) There was a musky smell of bran, and paraffin; While, outside, sunlight dazzled upon the rails And on the bright advertisements (enamelled tin– Three pen-nibs, and a splash of inky blue); And the air soft with tar, the summer smell … And the chuff of a steam-train drowsing through The hazy hills … And the sound of the bell … Rrring … Rrring … Rrring … And now the platform bell will ring no more.

E H SHEPARD

INCIDENT IN AUGUST When the Cirle train was held up by a signal Between Gloucester Road and High Street (Ken.) In the battering dog-day heat of August We sweated and mopped our brows. And then We saw in the cutting, amid the loosestrife And butterflies looping through bindweed trails, A boy who lay drinking, straight from the bottle, When of course, he was paid to look after the rails. High stood the sun and the heat-haze shimmered, The crickets shrilled to the burnished tracks; But our minds and the motors throbbed together, Insisting “You’re late. You mustn’t relax. You mustn’t look backward, you mustn’t look ... Southward?” (Oh, the linemen stood by in the hills of Var And leaned on their spades as the trains went past them And swigged red wine from a great stone jar.) Now, the boy in the sunlight was drinking water – Or beer at the best. It might have been Beaune Or Chateauneuf, but a London embankment Was not the slopes of the Côtes-du-Rhône. Still, a Mistral blew out of dry Vaucluse, A Mistral blew over South-West Ten ... Till the train pulled out from the Mondragon-sur-Lez As the points changed back towards High Street (Ken.)

Pro8a8ly at the out8reak of the ,irst World War, the family moved to Thorn Lea, 16 Duchy 2oad, Harrogate, Yorkshire, and this would remain Kathleen’s home for the remainder of her life. ,ollowing in her father’s footsteps, she produced images of animals, and especially dogs, some of which she contri8uted to The Field, Tailwagger and the Yorkshire Evening Post. In 1933, barker 8egan to write and illustrate 8ooks, including those 8y other authors, most of which were pu8lished 8y < & C black, Country Life and William Heinemann.

Black Beauty Originally pu8lished in 1877, <nna Sewell’s Black Beauty was an innovative novel. It was one of the rst to have an animal narrator, and was intended to draw the attention of an adult readership to equine cruelty and the need to prevent it. <n immediate 8estseller, it led to changes in the law in 8oth britain and the !nited States. Gradually, as its position as a campaigning novel lessened, it 8ecame considered a classic of children’s literature.

The signi!cance of Feliks Topolski is suggested by those projects that were closest to his heart: the regular broadsheet, Topolski’s Chronicle (1953-82), and the sequence of murals, Memoir of the Century (1975-89); for his drawings and paintings comprise a uniquely comprehensive yet impartial record of the age in which lived. He employed a swift, expressionist style for all of his projects, from illustrations to stage designs. This gave an emotional unity to his oeuvre, and even the smallest of his !gures – such as a vignette for his edition of Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion (1941) – seems to speak volumes.

ENwaMN AMNJ44KOe, CBE rA rdi (1900-1979) Highly observant and immensely humane, the work of Edward Ardizzone is in direct descent from the nest French and English illustrators of the nineteenth century. Developing as an artist from 1930, Ardizzone made his name as an illustrator through his contributions to The Radio Times and then with Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain, which proved to be one of the most signi cant picture books published between the wars. Soon considered one

of the greatest illustrators of his generation, he also gained a reputation as an O cial War Artist. Versatile and productive, he produced paintings, sculptures, etchings and lithographs, and worked as a designer. FKM a bJKgMaphy Kf ENwaMN AMNJ44KOe, please MefeM tK The Illustrators, 2019, page 79.

Though almost synonymous with his immortal subject of little girls and their fat ponies, his work is far more wide ranging, perceptive – and indeed prescient – than that association suggests. nHImKM tENFwNFF wKs bHIM iM tIKMmNIN, BiIkNMENKd, CENsEiIN HM 3 MKy 1923, JEN yHuMgNI sHM Hf K mKiMJNMKMcN NMgiMNNI KJ lNvNI BIHJENIs, PHIJ SuMFigEJ. hN wKs NducKJNd FHcKFFy KJ WNFF lKMN PIimKIy ScEHHF KMd rHck FNIIy higE ScEHHF, wENIN EN bNgKM JH sEHw K JKFNMJ fHI dIKwiMg. 0M 1939, tENFwNFF jHiMNd K livNIpHHF dHck H cN Ks K juMiHI cFNIk KMd, HM JEN HuJbINKk Hf wKI, spNMJ MigEJs IN wKJcEiMg. tEINN yNKIs FKJNI, EN jHiMNd JEN sNcHMd bKJJKFiHM Hf JEN eKsJ HIksEiIN rNgimNMJ, KMd wKs sHHM JIKMsfNIINd JH JEN iMJNFFigNMcN sNcJiHM bNcKusN Hf Eis KbiFiJy JH dIKw.

WILLIAM STEIG

WIl l IA M S T E I g WiSSiam SteiM (1907-2003) One of the most famous and talented illustrators and cartoonists that America has ever produced, William Steig worked in a remarkable array of styles across a career that spanned over 70 years. His work is instantly recognisable despite frequent adaption and experimentation, from his classic one liner cartoons and cover artwork from the golden age of The New Yorker – that stand alongside the likes of Charles Addams and Peter Arno – to Picassoesque portraits and geometric creations that rival Saul Steinberg. In later life he reinvented himself as an illustrator of books for children, to huge success, creating immortal characters such as Shrek, the inspiration for the Academy Award-winning lm. WiSSiam SteiM was born in BrookSyn, New York, on 14 November 1907, the third of four sons of Joseph SteiM, a house painter, and his wife, laura EbeS SteiM, a seamstress, Jewish immiMrants from lviv, in what is now Ukraine. Joseph SteiM had arrived in New York in 1903 and was joined shortSy after by his wife and %rst son, Irwin. WiSSiam SteiM was the second son born in BrookSyn, after his brother Henry, before the famiSy then moved to the Bronx, where the younMest son, Arthur, was born. SteiM’s parents were aSso artists, who encouraMed SteiM and his brothers to foSSow this passion. SteiM drew his %rst cartoons for his hiMh schooS newspaper, and Mraduated in 1923 at the aMe of 15. He studied for two years at City CoSSeMe in New York, and for three years at the NationaS Academy of DesiMn, before beinM accepted into YaSe, thouMh he dropped out after just %ve days. SteiM’s %rst cartoon appeared in The New Yorker in 1930, the start of an association that wouSd Sast for 73 years. DurinM that period, he produced over 1,600 cartoons for the maMazine and over 120 covers. In addition to his work for The New Yorker, he aSso beMan contributinM to such maMazines as Judge, Life, Vanity Fair and Collier’s. Many of his earSy cartoons in The New Yorker depicted touMh, streetwise kids, inspired by his chiSdhood on the streets of the Bronx. These kids became known as SteiM’s ‘SmaSS Fry’, and inspired the %rst coSSection of his cartoons, pubSished under that titSe in 1944. ThouMh he produced many one-Siner cartoons in the cSassic New Yorker stySe, his work appeared in a Mreat variety of stySes, from portraits inspired by his artistic idoS, PabSo Picasso, to Meometric %Mure studies. In 1936, SteiM beMan producinM cartoons in another very particuSar stySe, makinM what he referred to as ‘symboSic drawinMs’. These Sine drawinMs personi%ed emotionaS troubSes and states of mind, from shame and depression, to embarrassment and nausea, and even to Sess de%ned characters such as ‘pubSic opinion no SonMer worries me’ and ‘pSeasant chap

but never a friend’. He showed these drawinMs to The New Yorker editor HaroSd Ross, who beSieved that, thouMh one day they wouSd be haiSed as Menius, they were not riMht for the maMazine, beinM ‘too personaS and not funny enouMh’. SteiM’s ‘symboSic drawinMs’ were Sater pubSished in the coSSections About People (1939), The Lonely Ones (1942) and All Embarrassed (1944) to criticaS accSaim. In the year that SteiM beMan creatinM his ‘symboSic drawinMs’, he married his %rst wife, ESizabeth Mead, sister of the anthropoSoMist, MarMaret Mead. Their divorce ten years Sater Sed SteiM to seek the heSp of the psychiatrist, WiSheSm Reich (1897-1957), a discipSe of SiMmund Freud. ThouMh considered controversiaS due to his beSief in a cosmic enerMy known as orMones, Reich wouSd become a psychoSoMicaS mentor for SteiM, who wouSd iSSustrate Reich’s manifesto, Listen, Little Man! in 1948, and dedicate his book The Agony in the Kindergarten (1950) to him. In 1950, SteiM married Kari Homestead, and the foSSowinM year pubSished a series of drawinMs of jiSted men and coSd women in The Rejected Lovers. They divorced in 1963 and the foSSowinM year he married Stephanie HeaSey. This marriaMe Sasted just two years, before he married Jeanne Doron in 1968. They wouSd stay married for the rest of his Sife. In 1967, a feSSow cartoonist at The New Yorker, Bob Kraus, founded the pubSishinM company WindmiSS Books, and convinced SteiM to try writinM a book for chiSdren. The foSSowinM year, at the aMe of 61, he pubSished his %rst chiSdren’s books, CDB! and Roland the Minstrel Pig. Over the next 35 years, he pubSished over 40 books for chiSdren, such as Dominic (1972), Abel’s Island (1976), The Amazing Bone (1976), Rotten Island (1984), Spinky Sulks (1988) and Zeke Pippin (1994). He won the CaSdecott MedaS, awarded for the most distinMuished American picture book for chiSdren, for Sylvester and the Magic Pebble in 1969, and the John Newbery MedaS for the most distinMuished contribution to American Siterature for chiSdren for Doctor De Soto in 1982. Perhaps SteiM’s most famous creation was Shrek! (1990), which inspired the Academy Award-winninM feature %Sm Shrek (2001) and its sequeSs.

lUDW Ig B E M E l M A N S ludwiM BemeSmans (1898-1962) Though he has achieved lasting fame as the creator of the hugely popular Madeline series of children’s books, Ludwig Bemelmans was a wide-ranging and proli c illustrator and cartoonist. His early years serving in hotels in ‘Roaring Twenties’ Manhattan gave him access to New York high society, and his artwork would later become symbolic of the city’s glamour, appearing on covers of The New Yorker, in advertisements and painted on the walls of hotel bars. ludwiM BemeSmans was born in Meran, South TyroS in Austria-HunMary (now ItaSy), on 27 ApriS 1898, the son of lampert BemeSmans, a BeSMian painter and hoteSier, and his wife, Franciska (née Fischer). UntiS the aMe of six, he Sived with his parents in gmunden, on the Traunsee in Upper Austria. In 1904, after his father Seft his mother and ludwiM’s Moverness, both preMnant with his chiSd, for another woman, BemeSmans moved with his mother and his brother, Oscar, to Sive in his mother’s native city of ReMensburM, germany. BemeSmans endured a di cuSt chiSdhood. He had Mrown up beinM tauMht French as his %rst SanMuaMe, and his struMMSes with the german SanMuaMe and stySe of discipSine made him an outcast at schooS. After faiSinM the same year repeatedSy, he was sent to boardinM schooS in RothenburM, Bavaria. He remained a disobedient and de%ant student and was expeSSed. His mother responded by sendinM him back to TyroS to be apprenticed to his uncSe Hans and aunt Marie, who owned a chain of hoteSs. AMain, he showed himseSf to be a poor and rebeSSious worker, and was tried across the various hoteSs and %red from each. In an interview with The New York Times in 1941, he cSaimed that matters came to head when, in response to a head waiter threateninM him with a Seather whip, BemeSmans shot him in the abdomen. ThouMh the waiter survived, BemeSmans was Miven the choice of beinM sent to reform schooS or to America. BemeSmans arrived in America on Christmas Eve 1914, at the aMe of sixteen. He had expected to be reunited with his father, who had moved to the United States some years earSier to become a jeweSSer, but he forMot to pick him up, and BemeSmans spent his %rst Christmas in America on ESSis IsSand. ThrouMh his famiSy’s connections, he had arrived in New York with Setters of introduction to the manaMers of severaS hoteSs, and found work as a busboy at the HoteS McASpin and HoteS Astor, before movinM to the Ritz CarSton. When the United States entered the First WorSd War in 1917, he enSisted in the US Army. ThouMh his german heritaMe meant that he was not sent abroad, he spent the war workinM as an aide in a mentaS hospitaS in Bu aSo, New York. He wrote about his wartime experiences in

the book My War with the United States (1941). In 1918, he became an American citizen and returned to the Ritz CarSton, movinM to the banquet department and workinM his way up to assistant manaMer. ThrouMhout his time at the hoteS, he sketched and drew, on napkins, notepads and menus, often caricaturinM his coSSeaMues and Muests. After he was encouraMed to pursue a career as a cartoonist by a waiter at the hoteS, he quit his job in 1926 and was hired by the New York World to produce the cartoon series, ‘ThriSSinM Adventures of Count Bric a Brac’. However, the series received compSaints and, after six months, he was %red and forced to return to his job at the Ritz CarSton. In the mid-1920s, BemeSmans had met an EnMSish baSSet dancer, Rita Pope, and they were married soon after. The marriaMe was tempestuous and in 1929 their divorce was %naSised. The breakup of his marriaMe forced BemeSmans to re-evaSuate his Sife and, disMusted by what his career was doinM to his heaSth and dismayed by his Sack of direction, he quit the Ritz CarSton and, in JuSy 1929, moved into a greenwich iSSaMe studio to beMin work as a fuSS-time artist. ThouMh the e ects of The great Depression forced him to return once aMain to the Ritz CarSton just three months Sater, he remained determined to succeed and beMan to earn commissions as a freeSance artist in an advertisinM studio, producinM work for companies such as generaS Foods and JeSS-O. He su ered more traMedy in his personaS Sife in 1931 when his brother Oscar, who had joined him at the Ritz CarSton in 1922, died when he feSS down an eSevator shaft at the hoteS. The foSSowinM year, he met May Massee, chiSdren’s book editor at ikinM Press. She encouraMed him to start writinM books for chiSdren and in 1934 he pubSished his %rst book, Hansi, inspired by his own chiSdhood in Austria. The same year, he met and eSoped with MadeSeine Freund, a former nun and an artist’s modeS. Their honeymoon in BeSMium in 1936 inspired his second chiSdren’s book, The Golden Basket, for which he won the John Newbery MedaS. later that year, MadeSeine Mave birth to the coupSe’s onSy dauMhter, Barbara. In 1938, whiSst visitinM the ISe d’Yeu o the coast of France with his wife and dauMhter, BemeSmans was hospitaSised when he was knocked o his bike by a Sorry. He recaSSed that in the next room of the hospitaS ‘was a SittSe MirS who had her appendix out, and on the ceiSinM over my bed was a crack that, in the varyinM SiMht of the morninM, niMht and noon, and eveninM, Sooked Sike a rabbit’. ASonM with the stories his mother had toSd him about MrowinM up in a convent schooS, these experiences inspired the book Madeline, which wouSd become his most famous creation. PubSished in 1939, the book was an instant success and was awarded a CaSdecott MedaS, it was foSSowed by Madeline’s Rescue (1953), Page 188

DAVID LE VINE

DA ID lE IN E David JuSian levine (1926-2009) David Levine was widely acknowledged as one of the greatest, and most in uential, caricaturists of the second half of the twentieth century. Best known as the sta artist of The New York Review of Books, he revived the tradition of American political caricature that originated in the nineteenth century with Thomas Nast, and has been frequently described as equal to Honoré Daumier. However, he sustained an equally distinguished career as a painter, producing gurative oils and watercolours in a poetically naturalistic style. His love of Corot and Vuillard, Eakins and Sargent, pervades his studies of Coney Island and the Garment District. But more fundamental to both his paintings and his caricatures is the fact that he said, ‘I love my species’. For a bioMraphy of David levine, pSease refer to The Illustrators, 2010, paMes 277-278.

However, he demonstrated his fuSS power as an experimentaS director onSy a decade Sater, when, in 1935, he staMed SheSSey’s The Cenci at the Théâtre des FoSies-WaMram.

DAVID LE VINE

Margaret Atwood The accSaimed Canadian writer, MarMaret Atwood (born 1939), %rst received recoMnition as a poet, her %rst two coSSections – Double Persephone (1961) and The Circle Game (1966) – both winninM awards. However, whiSe she has continued to write and pubSish poetry that re ects her essentiaS preoccupations, she soon became better known as a noveSist. The %rst of her 18 noveSs, The Edible Woman, appeared in 1969, and set the tone for subsequent works in its expSoration of Mender and identity. She estabSished herseSf as an important voice in Canadian Siterature with her second noveS, Surfacing, and her %rst non-%ction work, Survival: A Thematic Guide to Canadian Literature (both 1972). Her reputation was con%rmed by the reception of her sixth noveS, the specuSative dystopian fabSe, The Handmaid’s Tale (1985), which won both the Arthur C CSarke Award and the governor generaS’s Award. As the resuSt of subsequent adaptations, notabSy the 2017 teSevision series, and a prize-winninM sequeS, The Testaments (2019), this has become her best known work. Other major noveSs incSude Cat’s Eye (1988), Alias Grace (1996), The Blind Assassin (2000) and Oryx and Crake (2003), the Sast siMnaSinM her increasinM concern for mankind’s e ect on the environment. She has aSso produced chiSdren’s books, Mraphic noveSs and many short stories. Her achievements outside of writinM incSude the invention of the remote siMnaSinM device, LongPen (2006), whiSe her many honours incSude the PEN Center USA's lifetime Achievement Award (2017). 197 MARgARET ATWOOD SiMned and dated 89 Inscribed with titSe on reverse Pen and ink 13 ½ x 10 ¾ inches Provenance: David levine; The Sir Christopher Ondaatje CoSSection of literary Portraits ISSustrated: The New York Review of Books, 27 ApriS 1989, ‘Mystery Women’ by Robert Towers (a review of Atwood’s Cat’s Eye and noveSs by SauS BeSSow and Susanna Moore)

AMaT JohT lUU (borT 1947) Alan Lee is one of the foremost illustrators of myth and fantasy working today. Establishing his interests and his meticulous approach while still a student, he has carried the great British tradition of gift book illustration into the present, introducing it to a new audience. He has done this through both his own drawings and his designs for the phenomenally successful lm versions of J R R Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. His many awards include an Academy Award for the Best Art Direction for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. For a biography of AMaT lUU, pMUasU rUfUr to The Illustrators, 2017, pagU 75.

PETER CROSS

Pe T e R C RO S S

PUtUr Cross (borT 1951) From 1975, Peter Cross began to emerge as an illustrator of great originality, making his name with books that continue to delight children and adults alike. Unwilling to restrict his fertile imagination to two dimensions, he also created a series of eccentric cabinets of curiosities. Such richness and variety were then directed towards advertising and, in particular, to delightful work for the company, Wine Rack. Cross’s dry, yet charming visual-verbal wit has reached a wide international public through designs for greetings cards, rst for Gordon Fraser (Hallmark 1995-2000) and then for The Great British Card Company. For a biography, pMUasU rUfUr to The Illustrators, 2018, PagU 150.

SARA MIDDA

SAR A M I DDA

Sara Midda (borT 1951) Sara Midda has gained an international reputation for her illustrated books and her product designs. While her work is often enchantingly diminutive in scale, it ranges in character from delicate, jewel-like watercolours to sharply humorous, even surreal, pen and ink drawings. Handwritten words combine actively with the images, whether as speech emitting from the mouths of ever characterful gures or in longer texts. If humans and animals are revealed at both their most vulnerable and their most endearing, the world that they inhabit is essentially edenic, a veritable garden of delights.

edward RoMMaTd McMachMaT (borT 1940) Ed McLachlan’s cartoons o er a comical but often cutting commentary on modern life. From his gormless, baggy-suited businessmen to his ungainly bucktoothed women, his undeniably British sense of humour makes him a master of the macabre with an eye for the ridiculous. In every cleverly observed image, he takes the mundane and delivers the hilariously absurd. For a biography of ed McMachMaT, pMUasU rUfUr to The Illustrators, 2002, pagU 110.

‘His genius lies in being witty without being nasty’ (CharMUs MoorU, quotUd iT Max DavidsoT, Daily Telegraph, 17 OctobUr 2008)

Matt’s much-loved pocket cartoons for the Daily Telegraph provide a consistently original take on the big news stories of the day.

‘The frustrations, isolation and spirit of the protected elderly was never better expressed.’

Matt was awardUd CartooTist of thU 'Uar iT thU SociUty of editors’ natioTaM PrUss Awards for 2019.

In Matt’s words, ‘Of course, Dominic Cummings. When everyone is making jokes it is di cult to nd one. But I thought about Barnard Castle, and how now the most famous thing about it isn’t the ruins any more. It’s probably the fact that Dominic Cummings went there.’

‘Matt’s parody of the Labour Party nostrum "For the many, not the few" suggests that of more interest to the electorate was its indecisive position on Brexit, which would harm its chances in the General Election three months later on 12 December 2019.’

‘As Conservative Party members started their annual conference in Birmingham, they would recall the disaster the year before, on 4 October 2017, when Theresa May coughed her way through her keynote speech while letters fell o the board behind the podium – a metaphor for a failing Prime Minister in dissolution.’

‘Donald Trump succeeded Barack Obama and took o ce as the 45th President of the United States on 20 January 2017, bringing his hair with him, and so ensuring four years of memorable responses from the cartoon community.’

‘The unexpected result in the EU Referendum – three days before this cartoon was published – divided the nation as 52% voted to leave. Matt’s comedic ability to con ate two major but unrelated events is combined with a spooky prescience as England was surprisingly knocked out of the European Football Championships a day later by Iceland, losing 2-1.’

‘The tabloid newspaper, The Sun, started showing naked models on “Page 3” in 1969. This controversial but popular tradition continued until March 2017 when it was considered to be an outdated fashion. Here Matt has even persuaded a sca older to eschew his leery wolf whistles in favour of a more considered assessment of the Gender Debate.’

‘Ed Miliband’s elegant relationship with a bacon sandwich went before him ... all the way to the General Election on 7 May 2015, which he lost to David Cameron.’

Margaret Thatcher, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990, died on 8 April 2013. There followed a slew of memorial documentaries and some very bad weather.’

‘Matt’s crystal ball is in use again as we now experience, ten years on, that the problems of key workers and the allocation of vital resources have not gone away.’

‘Volcanic eruptions in Iceland in April 2010 halted air ights across Europe forcing desperate plans on to travellers. Matt can never be enticed to publicly state his personal views (“I am too shallow to have political opinions”) but his puzzlement over the Liberal Party is summed up by his enduring admiration for Nick Clegg. The result of the General Election on the 6 May was a hung Parliament producing a coalition government of the Conservatives and the Liberals.’
