Part of the procession;from An Overland Journey to the Great Exhibition (Chapman & Hall, 1851). Introduction The idea for this exhibition was put forward at the time of the National Book League's four linked displays on the theme of Word and Image. By examining in sequence the work of Wyndham Lewis, Michael Ayrton, Mervyn Peake and David Jones, the organisers of that series were attempting to set out the relationship (and sometimes the interdependence) which existed between the verba I and graphic expression of men skilled in both modes. While it is no part of the present exhibition to demonstrate a qualitative similarity between, say, The Apes of God and The Ta le of Peter Rabbit, they are nonetheless both books where, at some point, the author is attempting to influence the reader by pictures as well as words and where the effect of this influen ce may be of importance. Indeed, at a purely quantitative level, the number of readers likely to be affected by the latter book is vastly greater than the number who have even heard of, let alone read, the former. If we also accept that the readers of Peter Rabbit are likely to be much more impressionable. then a case may perhaps be argued for a more intensive study of picture books for children than of w ords and images for the mature citizen. One other quantitative factor may also be introduced here, and that is the sheer w eight of numbers that is summoned up by the phrase 'children's picture books'. Even if one excludes those books which have not been written and illustrated by the same person, there is still a formidable body of work that has been created for the child reader (or for t he child being read to) and this of course would be further swollen if one were to w iden the terms of refere nce even further and include the whole range of children's imaginative fiction alongside picture books. In view of the large number of books that are thus called in question, and of the many children who may, in one way or another, be coming up against t hem, this exhibition has finally taken a rather different direction from that of th e Word and Image series. Instead of simply examining the techniques of a few selected artists, an attempt is being made to consider some ofthe principles which underlie both the creation of different types of picture book and their critical assessment. It is all too easy to shrug off the careful ana lysis of ch ildren's books on the grounds either that they are beneath serious critical attention, or that it makes no Frontispiece: ' How many miles to Babylon?' from Mervyn Peake's difference what the adults think, the children are quite Ride a Crx:~horse (item 77). capable of asserting their ow n tastes - which, like the 5 1 truth. will ultimately prevail.

It is given to the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book published the preceding year. The name of Randolph Caldecott, an English illustrator of books for children, was chosen for the medal because his work best represented the “joyousness of picture books as well as their beauty.” The horseman on the medal is taken from one of Caldecott’s illustrations for “The Diverting History of John Gilpin” (1878). The medal was originally donated by publisher Frederic G. Melcher (1879–1963), and is now donated by his son, Daniel. 1939 Mei Li Handforth 1972 One Fine Day Hogrogian 1940 Abraham Lincoln d’Aulaire 1973 The Funny Little Woman Lent 1941 They Were Strong and Good Lawson 1974 Duffy and the Devil Zemach 1942 Make Way for Ducklings McCloskey 1975 Arrow to the Sun McDermott 1943 The Little House Burton 1976 Why Mosquitoes Buzz in 1944 Many Moons Slobodkin People’s Ears Dillon 1945 Prayer for a Child Jones 1977 Ashanti to Zulu: 1946 The Rooster Crows Petersham African Traditions Dillon 1947 The Little Island Weisgard 1978 Noah’s Ark Spier 1948 White Snow, Bright Snow Duvoisin 1979 Girl Who Loved Wild Horses Goble 1949 The Big Snow Hader 1980 Ox-Cart Man Cooney 1950 Song of the Swallows Politi 1981 Fables Lobel 1951 The Egg Tree Milhous 1982 Jumanji Van Allsburg 1952 Finders Keepers Mordvinoff 1983 Shadow Brown 1953 The Biggest Bear Ward 1984 The Glorious Flight Provensen 1954 Madeline’s Rescue

    Children’s Literature in Education DOI 10.1007/s10583-016-9279-1 ORIGINAL PAPER ‘‘What is the Use of a Book Without Pictures?’’ An Exploration of the Impact of Illustrations on Reading Experience in A Monster Calls Jen Aggleton1 Ó The Author(s) 2016. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract This article examines the effect of Jim Kay’s illustrations on the experience of reading A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. The author compares the responses of six Key Stage Three children (11–14 years old), three of whom were given an illustrated version of the text, and three a non-illustrated version. The children with an illustrated copy engaged with the text more deeply and critically than the others. They were also more likely to relate the story to their own lives. The illustrations were found to work alongside the participants’ own visualisations rather than replacing them, and opened up further possible interpretations rather than limiting them. The illustrations did not appear to have influenced the partici- pants’ overall enjoyment of the book, nor did they significantly alter the readers’ views on key themes and ideas of the text. Keywords Illustrations Á A Monster Calls Á Reading Experience Á Literacy Education In 2011, Walker Books published A Monster Calls, a young adult novel written by Patrick Ness, based on an original idea by Siobhan Dowd, who tragically died from cancer before being able to write the book herself. Dowd’s publishers asked Ness to fulfil the original concept, and commissioned Jim Kay to illustrate it.

  • The Pictured Child in Victorian Philanthropy 1869-1908 Heather
    The pictured child in Victorian philanthropy 1869-1908 HeatherParis April 2001 Submitted for the award of PhD Awarding body: University of Central Lancashire Total numberof volumes:2 Volume I of 2 Abstract This study sets out to investigate the nature of the Victorian child's standing in society using pictorial means. It takes the view that the picture, or visual image, has something important to tell us about attitudes towards childhood, and how children were regarded as a group, between 1869 and 1908. As a piece of scholarship, it is situated between the disciplines of art history and social history. Little work has been done on the child's visual representation, and its contribution to the historical record. The rich visual material that forms part of the archive of Victorian philanthropy in general, and temperance in particular, remains largely untapped. The study is a response to this scholarly neglect, with the uses made by charity of the pictured child forming its central site of inquiry. Philanthropic images of childhood will be set in their pictorial context by reference to their appearance in other parts of the public domain. The history of the relationship between adults and children has been called `age relations' by one historian. This study will apply general and specific practical approaches, drawn from critical visual techniques, to age relations, leading to an interpretation of how Victorian childhood was pictured for its audiences. Images will be approached as pictorial puzzles, and priority will be given to those solutions which formed part of the historical record. The main analytical tool to be usedis adoptedfrom critical theory's notion of the metapicture.

She studied at Liverpool Art School and at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford, before embarking on a career as a freelance illustrator. At first she worked as an interpretive illustrator, but she began to write and design her own picture books when her children were very young. Her first book, Lucy and Tom's Day, was published in 1960. Now living in London's Notting Hill, Shirley Hughes has illustrated over two hundred children's books and is renowned as a champion of children's literature. She has been the recipient of the Other Award, the Kate Greenaway Medal and the prestigious Eleanor Farjeon Award.

Overview Edward Ardizzone RA was one of relatively few British artists who defined the field of illustration for their generation. Although his work as an artist and illustrator was wide-ranging, it is for his illustrated children's books, almost continuously available since they were first published from the late s onwards, that he is best known. This book provides the first fully illustrated survey of Ardizzone's work, analysing his activity as an artist and illustrator in the context of 20th- century British art, illustration, printing and publishing. Copiously illustrated with many previously unpublished images, Edward Ardizzone: Artist and Illustrator also contributes more broadly to the Edward Ardizzone: Artist and Illustrator reassessment and investigation of midth-century British art Edward Ardizzone: Artist and Illustrator illustration. Alan Powers author of the bestselling Eric Ravilious: Artist and Designer has written a critically considered text which draws for the first time on the family's archives, those of Ardizzone's publishers, and conversations with those who knew the artist.
