"The Great Gatsby" film has sparked interest in the style and fashions of the 1920s. This era between the two World Wars was a time of optimism, exuberance and, in reaction to the anxiety and tragedy of war, of indulgence, luxury and the pursuit of entertainment and pleasure. Designers of the period, such as Poiret, Doucet, Patou, Lanvin, Mainbocher and Vionnet made clothes of silk, satin, gorgette and chiffon; beaded, sequined, fur trimmed and printed with bold designs.

Some fine examples of these splendid fashions are now available as cards and prints from our sister company, The Green Tiger Press.

The detritus of everyday life, that we collectors call "ephemera," can be powerfully evocative. Among the most powerful for me, and for many others, is the luggage label. These in the 'golden' past of the "Great Gatsby" Jazz age between the two world wars, were affixed to one's luggage and became a cumulative history of one's travels.

Few of us now have luggage so adorned, but just to view a stock of antique labels is to travel in the mind. From the Trianon in Paris we step out into that beguiling city. The Challenger Inn in Sun Valley invites us to the cold thrill of a downhill run. Now we are warmed at Rio's Copacabana Palace. At the Barcelona Ritz we find it difficult to leave its splendor and comfort. Going to Europe we travel only on Cunard White Star. We wonder if The Strand still serves the traveler to Rangoon. In Hawaii we bask and surf from our home at the Noana Hotel. In our world of memories TWA and Pan Am are not forgotten.

On and on we adventure with only these little labels as our transport.

Art Nouveau, which originated in the late 19th century, attempted to free decoration from the straight-jacket of uniformity and convention. Its most important influence was the luxuriant growth of plants transformed into decorative design.

Art Deco, which began in the early 20th century, was in some ways a taming of Art Nouveau; its plants were tamer, more regular. It simplified, as Art Nouveau did, but its forms were more abstracted.

A small sub-catagory was Bridge Tallies. These were cards used to mark places at the bridge table and keep score. Bridge was all the rage and these tallies reflected the design tastes of the 1920s and 30s. These small pieces of ephemera emphasized prettiness and the feminine and are, in their own way, lovely artifacts of a past time.

KINSHIP WITH ANIMALS

Many picture books have animals as central characters. The reasons for this are many and profound. First, the child finds it easy to identify with animals because they are, like children themselves, outside the central drama of adult humans. Second, animals are attractive and appealing. Third, it is easier to identify with a little bear or rabbit than a human boy or girl who is clearly not you. Fourth, all of us are more generous with our sympathy when an animal is involved. Fifth, animals acting as humans (which is commonly the case) need to learn life's lessons, just as children do. This a partial and brief summary of reasons.

Imagine, as humans, Beatrix Potter's rabbits or Babar and his family, or Little Bear or Stuart Little or giant Otto. In the difference lies the secret of this preference.

Their Focus on Basic Things: Children's books usually show and tell us of basic things–family, friends, toys, sleep, animals, food, home. Their situations are also elemental–the lost is to be found, the stranger is to become known, a simple problem is to be solved, a one-hour adventure completed.

Zen tries to make its practitioners look away from speculation to essential reality–rain, food, the hardness of stone, the fragility of paper, sunshine. I find that reading picture books encourages this very attitude. Life becomes simpler, problems seem solvable. For the child each day is a complete reality. It is refreshing to share this in perusing the books made for them.

Children's picture books usually concern one day, or even a portion of a day. Adult fiction ordinarily covers years, or lifetimes or even generations. It is refreshing to look closely at a child's day. Children live in the moment, whereas we adults look frequently backward or forward.

A few examples of picture books that focus on the moment; a small slice of time looked at minutely, are: Brown and Hurd's GOODNIGHT MOON (1947) in which a child falls asleep. In Virginia Burton's CHOO CHOO (1937) a locomotive runs away and is caught. In Crockett Johnson's HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON (1955) a boy goes for a walk with his purple crayon. Alexandra Day's GOOD DOG, CARL (1985) shows a Rottweiler having private adventures with a child while the mother is on an errand.

The wide vision of adult thinking is both good and necessary, but an excursion into the focused world of a child is a useful refreshment.

Description

Postcard books are one of our favorite projects, because they give us the opportunity to share material that doesn’t fit easily into a book or other project.

The list of illustrators represented includes Humphrey Bogart’s mother., Frank Lloyd Wright’s sister, students of Rodin and Howard Pyle, the creator of the Kewpies, suffragettes, freethinker and expatriates. We think their illustrations are as rich, varied and intriguing as their lives.

30 Paperbound Postcards

For a child each day is a time of new discoveries. One after another things that are familiar to adults come into the focus of a child's consciousness. Here is a wonderfully acrobatic squirrel; now the nightly changes of the moon; or, of a sudden, the splendor of sunrise, the power of an electric plug to serve or harm, the grace of birds, the changing shapes of clouds, people talking and laughing and shouting, buildings rising into the sky. Most grown-ups pass unseeing through the daily miracles of which children, with their fresh vision, remind us. Their picture books explore and celebrate the beauty of daily life and, we who enjoy them are reminded of its beauty. They help us to see and experience as we used to. Our imaginations are refreshed and we are able to again enjoy daily phenomena as the splendid things they truly are. –Welleran Poltarnees

John R. Neill (1877-1943) reluctantly agreed to replace W.W. Denslow– illustrator of only the first Oz title, THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ– as the illustrator of Frank Baum's Oz books. He proved a glorious choice, giving unforgettable reality to all of the strange or beautiful inhabitants of the Land of Oz. His lines are sure, his style economical and his work, both in line and color, balanced, pleasing and graphically bold. He illustrated thirteen of Baum's titles, then nineteen Oz titles by Ruth Plumley Thompson. Finally, he wrote and made pictures for three Oz books of his own. Baum crowned him, "The Imperial Illustrator of OZ."

More than other imaginary lands, Oz welcomes a great variety of visitors. We take pleasure in visiting Narnia and the many realms of Tolkien, but few of us go there. Alice is the one who goes down the rabbit hole. Few follow her. Oz, on the other hand, welcomes many visitors from our world, and is open to many interpretations. Perhaps reason is that Baum himself wrote so many books about Oz, and filled it with hundreds of characters. It is a place where our imaginations are set free.

Through all of this I have achieved an even deeper enthusiasm for the genre and have learned much about the appeal of picture story books. Over the next few weeks I will offer a brief summary of the many ways in which children's picture books please an adult reader.

Description

Lewis Carroll’s duo of novels about a girl named Alice and her surreal adventures have been popular since their publication in 1865 ("Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland") and 1871 ("Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There"). Neither book has ever been out of print. But many parents find the originals too difficult for young children, and thus the publication of many simplified and abridged versions of Alice. Our "Alice in Wonderland Picture Book" features illustrations of several major episodes of the story from Italian mid-century illustrator Maraja. Accompanying these vibrant images is a very simple text. It serves as a marvelous introduction to Carroll’s world of marvelous madness.

Biographical Note:
Libico Maraja (pen name Maraja) (1912 – 1983) was an Italian illustrator best known in the United States and the U.K. for his lively illustrated versions of such classic books as "A Christmas Carol," "Gulliver’s Travels," "The Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor," "Tales from Hans Andersen," and many more. His career in Italy was long and diverse. In addition to his successful book illustration career, Maraja lent his talents to advertising art, sheet music design, comic books, and postage stamp art. He was the chief set designer and animator for one of Italy’s first animated films – "The Rose of Baghdad" – (1941) and also designed sets and costumes for ballets.

Description

Beaches hold a powerful appeal for children. It is for them a place where they are free to play, build, and discover. The place where land and sea meet enfolds them, and there they seem to blossom in a timeless paradise. The combination of dramatic natural beauty and childhood joy is one that holds great appeal to children’s book illustrators, resulting in a wealth of images of children enjoying the pleasures of sand and sea. We have assembled from our library of vintage children’s books the images for this simple shaped book, and paired them with a text, which celebrates – from the point of view of a child – the many appeals of life on the beach. Artists include: Pelagie Doane, Henriette Willebeek Le Mair, Millicent Sowerby, Susan Beatrice Pearse and Jessie Willcox Smith.

Becoming a Child Again: Children do not write or illustrate their own books. Adults do this by reaching down into their memories and imaginations to recapture what a child experiences. They become, as they work, children again. Readers, too, if the book works, feel and see as a child. Both readers and creators tend to idealize childhood, omitting the insecurity and confusion most children have. This idealization, on the writer's and illustrator's part, has the benefit of showing the child readers an orderly and burnished view of their own lives, providing a pattern for response and growth. –Welleran Poltarnees

There is a rightness in three characters that is inescapable, but elusive. The Three Bears are perhaps three because that is the least possible members of a family with children. The differing response of each of the bears is a large part of the story's delight. The Three Little Pigs are three because there needed to be a number of responses to the wolf's aggression. Four would have been tedious; two would have been abrupt. The three kittens who lost their mittens could have been two or four, but three has a subtle rightness, as it does in the Three Blind Mice. The Three Billy Goats Gruff provide satisfying drama, much like the Three Little Pigs.

All numbers have their power; One is inescapably real and central. Two opens up possibilities. Three is dramatic and invites more complex relationships. The numbers beyond three elude me. Imagine The Four Little Pigs, The Nine Billy Goats Gruff, The Seven Bears. I cannot.

Of all the wonderful illustrators of the past, Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) stands, in the minds of most people, as the exemplar. He is to fantastic illustration what Picasso is to modern painting. Of course, this is erroneous, for no one artist truly stands above everyone else. This said, Rackham is excellent in a variety of ways. His career was long, extending from 1893 to his death in 1939. His powers of imagination were remarkable; his fairies, for example, seeming truer than almost anyone else's. His palette is muted, but he never falls into fogginess; bringing the softness to life with a touch of color. He was as brilliant in black and white as he was in color. He had a vastly superior sense of balance and design. He was a fine draftsman, able to render figures and faces with accuracy. Finally, he worked at the highest level for 40 years, creating illustrations for more than 50 books; still triumphant with the animals of the Wind in the Willows, painted in the last year of his life.
