The very first Austen illustration appeared in a French translation of Persuasion (entitled La Famille Elliot) with a frontispiece by Delvaux after Chasselat (Paris: A. Bertrand, 1821). The Bentley illustrations, by Ferdinand Pickering, played an integral part in the reception of Austen’s novels. According to one Austen scholar, they “promoted a sense that her novels were best understood as familial, female focused, and sensational. For decades, these illustrations would have served to steer readers away from the conclusion that Austen’s fiction ought to be understood as social, comic, or didactic” (Looser, p. 20). 3 Gilson D1–5; Sadleir 3735a.

  • Critical Values: the Career of Charles Rennie Mackintosh 1900-2015 Professor Pamela Robertson It Is a Great Pleasure to Be Back
    Keynote Speech Strand 4 Critical Values: The Career of Charles Rennie Mackintosh 1900-2015 Professor Pamela Robertson It is a great pleasure to be back in Barcelona for this exciting Congress. I am grateful to the organisers, in particular Lluis Bosch and Mireia Freixa, for the invitation to speak to you today on Mackintosh, and to all those whose hard work has delivered such a successful and stimulating event. The strand this afternoon is research, specifically research in progress. This session invites us to reflect, for a moment, on critical values and critical fortunes. How are reputations and understandings formed? What value systems are they based on? How do they shift, and why? What are the future directions for us as curators, scholars, teachers? What I aim to present briefly today is threefold: an overview of the critical literature and research surrounding the career of Charles Rennie Mackintosh from around 1900 to 2015 (Fig. 1) – in the hope that this case study will provide some parallels with your individual experiences as researchers, whether working with male and/or female subjects; some reflections on the recently launched Mackintosh Architecture research website; and finally some general remarks on future directions for research. What emerges is the significance of context and individuals; the catalyst of curators and exhibitions; the gradual transference of Mackintosh's artistic legacy into the public domain; and, for Mackintosh at least, the central role of one institution, the University of Glasgow. In 1996, Alan Crawford divided Mackintosh's 'life after death' into three phases which comprised Mackintosh and the Architects, the Enthusiasts, and the Market.1 The trajectory of the scholarly presentation of Mackintosh’s work can, I believe, be divided into five broad phases, though of course at times these overlap: 1.

  • THE ART NOUVEAU BOOK DESIGNS of TALWIN MORRIS Lyle Ford
    THE ART NOUVEAU BOOK DESIGNS OF TALWIN MORRIS Lyle Ford ALWIN MORRIS worked as a book designer from 1893 to 1911, the year of his death. Immersed in the Glasgow Style, he created T a body of graphic design uniquely situated between the decline of blind-stamped Victorian publishers' bindings and the appearance of the now ubiquitous dust jacket. Born in 1865 in Winchester, England, Morris moved to Glasgow in 1893 to become the art director for the publisher Blackie & Son. As of 1898, he also designed books for Blackie & Son's subsidiary, Gresham Publishing. In both publishing houses, Morris designed "publishers' bindings," identical book covers manufac­ tured in mass quantities rather than one-of-a-kind books. During his tenure as Art Director he befriended Charles Rennie Mack­ intosh and other proponents of the Glasgow Style, a particularly Scot­ tish expression of Art Nouveau. One of Mackintosh's better known buildings, Hill House, designed for Walter Blackie, came about due to Morris' influence (MacLeod 90). He introduced Mackintosh to Walter Blackie and championed his work. Morris also commissioned book designs from Mackintosh and from a number of other artists in the Glasgow Style circle. His designs also re­ flected many of the stylistic forms and symbols found in the others' works. Those forms draw on natural shapes such as roses, plants and feathers, but Morris also used linear and architectural motifs in his designs. This combination of natural and linear elements typifies late Art Nouveau in general and the Glasgow Style in particular. Blackie & Son sold popular books, including children's books, school texts, theological and philosophical works, popular novels, and poetry.

John, along with his wife of 62 years – the delightful Googie Withers and their charming eldest daughter Joanna McCallum, helped to thoroughly enthral and entertain many MVM members at the annual gathering back in September 2007, giving us all an afternoon to remember for a very long time. On that occasion, John kindly signed my copy of his excellent book ‘Life With Googie’ which naturally I will treasure even more now, along with his thoughtful and most gracious letters regarding MVM – and the enjoyment each magazine gave both Googie and himself. Not only a talented actor of the stage and screen, John went into the production side of the business in Australia – especially with the popular TV series ‘Skippy’ in the 1960s, which I remember with affection. John and Googie (pictured here in the 1950s) appeared together many times on the screen – and more so on the stage in a wide variety of successful productions spanning some fifty years.

  • 1 Ossified Collections Embody the Manifold Reasons Motivating Private Collectors
    Ossified Collections: The Past Encapsulated in British Institutions Today Karen Attar Chapter published in: Collecting the Past: British Collectors and their Collections from the 18th to the 20th Centuries, ed. by Toby Burrows and Cynthia Johnston (London: Routledge, 2019), pp. 113-38 ‘Floreat bibliomania’, entitled that great collector A.N.L. Munby an article published in the New Statesman on 21 June 1952.1 Munby’s main interest was in sale catalogues as records of books assembled and then dispersed.2 This essay provides an overview of a more philanthropic and stable end to collecting: collections of primarily printed books in the British Isles that have stayed together and now enrich institutions, causing broader swathes of scholars and librarians to echo Munby’s prayer. Whilst some outstanding collectors and bibliophiles are highlighted in the standard literature of collecting and other more modest ones are noted in magisterial histories of institutions, feature in dedicated articles, or are commemorated in published catalogues of their collections, these remain the minority.3 This overview is based more widely on some of what has been described as ‘the rest of the iceberg’, through a survey of 873 repositories in the British Isles: national, academic, school, public, subscription and professional libraries, or in trusts, cathedrals, churches, monasteries, London clubs, archives, museums, schools, companies, and stately homes.4 Discussing popular collecting subjects and trends in collecting, it concentrates on ‘collections’ as groups of books with some unifying element, most of which originated with an individual before entering corporate ownership, whilst retaining at least some semblance of their former identity.

Thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by mimeograph or other means, without the permission of the author. 11 Supervisor: Dr. E, Turoasonis ABSTRACT Scottish artists Margaret and Frances Macdonald produced their most innovative art during the last decade of the nineteenth century. They received their training at the Glasgow School of Art and became known for their contribution to "the Glasgow Style," Scotland's answer to Continental Art nouveau and Symbolism. Although they inherited their visual vocabulary from the male-dominated language of the fin-de-siècle. they produced representations of women that differed from those made by their male colleagues. I suggest that these representations were informed by the female exper,i*nce and that they must be understood as such if we, as historians, are to discuss their art.
