<span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;">Rosie Pitman was active as an illustrator of children's books until about 1904 and exhibited at The Royal Academy. She appears to have married in 1905 to Frederick Heine, a naturalized German but subsequently reverted to her maiden name. Whether this was a brief marriage and perhaps is the reason she faded into obscurity is not known. 'Undine' is probably her finest work and the illustrations are beautiful and Pre Raphaelite in style.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Found recently, this is a rare copy of one of 'Vere Foster's Writing Copy- Books' with covers designed by Talwin Morris. Very difficult to date, but it would be interesting to find out if there are any other booklets designed by Talwin.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Watching the new sculpture of a large blue cockerel being lifted into place on the spare plinth in Trafalgar Square, reminded me of this lovely book find picked up earlier this year (see photo left). It is only a simple board book but the colours on the front board are still very vivid. Inside, the book is packed with small line drawings, mainly of cats. The inside front board has the following handwritten dedication<span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">, <span style="text-align: center;">'</span><span style="text-align: center;"> This is the first prize that Samuel Brown has ever had at the age of 3 years, 9 months....'.

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'times new roman';"><span style="color: #eeeeee; font-size: large;">Ernest Nister (1842 - 1909) set up a publishing company in Nuremberg in 1877 and opened a London office in 1888, although the printing of his books continued to be carried out in Nuremberg. He published about 500 illustrated books for children but from 1890 the company produced almost exclusively either toy or moveable books. The publishing company ceased in 1916.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="background-color: black; font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: large;">The book contains a selection of unattributed short poems and is illustrated throughout in black and white. Frontispiece is a tipped in colour plate, which is now almost all stuck down and is missing a very small corner. Most of the illustrations are of cats, with one double page being by Louis Wain (1860 - 1939) and a few other illustrations by William Foster (1853 - 1924). Most of the illustrations are unsigned.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I picked up this book recently, intrigued by the illustrations, which seemed particularly beautiful and at a quick glance seemed quite Beardsley like in style. A bit of research later and I managed to learn that the</span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> book had been produced to raise funds for the Outlook Tower (Camera Obscura) in Edinburgh.The Outlook Tower had been purchased by a Patrick Geddes in 1892 to enable visitors to properly view the surrounding landscape. A bit more research told me that Geddes could be properly described as a polymath, being an accomplished botanist, town planner and a pioneer of ecology and sociology. He was born in Dundee and was regarded as a guru to the artist John Duncan, also born in Dundee, who is also represented in this book. Both men were very much at the heart of the Celtic Revival movement in Scotland. Patrick Geddes was knighted in 1932.</span></div>

The book contains 10 full page black and white illustrations together with headpieces ( some by John Duncan) and ornaments and</span></span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> a selection of poetry by Robert Louis Stevenson, Fiona Macleod, Sir Noel Paton, Rosa Mullholland, Earl of Southesk and others.</span></div>

He wrote three books about his garden; My Garden in Spring, My Garden in Summer (both published in 1914), and My Garden in Autumn and Winter (published in 1915). They have been reprinted many times and are still in print today. The bindings for the first editions were designed by </span><strong style="font-size: large;">Katharine Cameron</strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> (1874 - 1965) and are signed with either her initials 'KC' or as ' K Cameron' on the lower part of the front board. Cameron studied at the Glasgow School of Art (1890 -1893) and was an accomplished artist, illustrator and close friend of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and his wife, Margaret MacDonald. The binding for ' My Garden in Autumn and Winter' is particularly stunning and I love the use of colour and the trail of petals which is repeated on the spines. I presume that she must have been a friend of Bowles, as she is known for her flower paintings as well as her interest in flowers and it would be lovely to know more. The bindings are probably her lesser known works and as such can be picked up fairly cheaply still. The books are lavishly illustrated throughout by artists of the day (although not by Katharine Cameron).</span></span></span></div>

She remains a perennially popular artist and illustrator. I have concentrated here on the fairy tale books she illustrated, but she did do so much much more, which will be explored further at some point. Her romantic images did much to popularise Scottish and Irish legends to a generation of children who were now able to afford the fairly cheap colour editions published by Thomas Nelson, Blackie & Son and T C & E C Jack at the turn of the twentieth century. I have included an example of a deluxe gilt binding sold earlier this year.</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #222222; text-align: center;">

Silver Studio</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Harry Napper ( 1867 - 1930)</h2>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="background-color: black;">I</span><span style="background-color: black;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: black; color: #eeeeee;">really enjoy collecting Silver Studio bindings, primarily because they are still very cheap, but I think I was originally drawn to the designs because of the simple symmetrical design. A bit about the Silver Studio though. <span style="text-align: center;">The Silver Studio was established in Hammersmith, London in 1880 by </span><span style="text-align: center;">Arthur Silver (1853 -1896)</span><span style="text-align: center;"><b> </b>and primarily produced designs for wallpaper and textiles for a large range of manufacturers, but particularly Liberty and Co, Warner & Sons and G.P & J Baker and became enormously successful. One of the most famous designers in the Studio (</span><span style="text-align: center;">and I will blog later about the others, who were all without exception, very talented) was </span><span style="text-align: center;"><b>Harry Napper </b>(born 1867 in Spaxton, Somerset) who</span><span style="text-align: center;"><b> </b>joined in about 1891. On the death of Arthur Silver, Napper took over the management of the studio in 1896. The Studio also produced commissioned book cover designs for Blackie & Son Ltd based in Scotland. Interestingly, Arthur Silver was born in Reading and his family had an upholstery business in the centre of town, as did at the same time co incidentally the grandfather and father of </span><span style="text-align: center;">Talwin Morris (1865 -1911)</span><span style="text-align: center;">, </span><span style="text-align: center;">Art Manager at Blackie & Son Ltd </span><span style="text-align: center;">which is worthy of more research and may explain the relationship between the two companies. It would be interesting to know how many Blackie books were designed by the Studio and I have always meant to take myself to the Silver Studio archives held in Middlesex University. Harry Napper died in Clapham, London in 1930.</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; text-align: center;"></span><br />

Talwin Morris</h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thought it might be a good idea to start putting in to some order the hundreds of Talwin Morris design images sitting on my computer. I have serial designs dotted all over the place that I have used on ebay listings but it is crying out for some sort of a reference book to be created. Apart from anything else, there is a lot of misinformation kicking around, so Ethel Larcombe and Silver Studio designs are often listed as Talwin Morris. I will list Silver Studio designs that I am collecting in a separate blog - there is so much and again another reference book is needed. Hard pressed to know where to start really but I will start with a favourite early work as it also contains some simple line drawings inside by Talwin Morris. This edition of 'The Whispering Winds' by Mary Debenham was published in 1895, so one of his earlier binding designs and particularly cherished as has a title page illustration by Morris as well. The binding design reminds me slightly of Arthur Hughes and I love the swirling hair.</div>

I had always thought that Mabel Lucie Attwell's work was very distinctive and instantly recognisable, so I did a double take when I picked up a book on the internet recently;only bought because of the rather nice art nouveau cover and discovered the binding was by Attwell.<br />

The book was published in 1906 and Attwell is known to have started commisson work from about 1900 so this is some of her earliest work and in a very different form from the usual dinky sweet children which she developed from about 1914 onwards. She seems to have designed other bindings for L T Meade who was a popular author at the time and I think I want to collect them all now as they are still very affordable. I love the lettering used on the binding and the art nouveau sweep of the dresses on the front cover.<br />
I am in two minds whether to start collecting books for the prize stickers as well because some of them are so beautiful. The sticker in this book is not so attractive but was presented to a Kathleen Sykes in Milnsbridge, Yorkshire in 1907 - so many of the books I have seem to have been awarded to children in Yorkshire<br />

From time to time when buying and selling books, I come across a book which makes me stop in my tracks. This is one such book. It is a typical gift book, beautifully produced with lavish amounts of gilt and some lovely plates by Anne Anderson ( verging on the twee sometimes, but still lovely). What makes this book particularly special to me is the very personal and touching dedication inside.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The book was given to Edith Dunn by Sylvia D'Oyly in October 1914. The dedication says 'Come what may/ time and the hour runs through the roughest day' and is taken from Macbeth. I did a bit of research and discovered that Sylvia ( nee Hart) and Edith were school friends at Cheltenham Ladies College. Edith (born 1885) was the daughter of Charles George Dunn, a Navy man who had lost his life off the coast of Lisbon in 1898. The Dunn's were Northumberland shipowners. Sylvia Agnes Alicia Hart was born in India in 1885 the daughter of General Sir Reginald Clare Hart VC and married Sir Warren Hastings D'Oyly in 1912. They had one child, a son, Reginald Clare Hastings D'Oyly in 1918, who lost his life aged 23, in the Second World War.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't imagine what it was like to live in October 1914 and perhaps this dedication gives a small clue as to the absolute terror people must have felt at the time.</div>
