RICHARDSON COLLECTION OF TOY AND MOVABLE BOOKS Cindy Cline, Katie Caton, Alyssa Coon University of Kentucky Libraries, Third Thursday, February 2020 Richardson Collection 1 KATHLEEN & WILLIAM RICHARDSON COLLECTION • Bill Richardson had an interest in art, architecture and history • Kathleen Richardson is a librarian with BCTCS • In the early 1990’s, they were at Joseph-Beth Booksellers, saw Art Pack and Bill requested a copy for Christmas. 2 Richardson Collection KATHLEEN & WILLIAM RICHARDSON COLLECTION In 2006, they attended the bi-annual meeting of the Movable Book Society in Chicago. After attending presentations, meeting several of the authors and paper engineers, their enthusiasm for the genre increased. 3 Richardson Collection KATHLEEN & WILLIAM RICHARDSON COLLECTION • The acquisition of Art Pack, led to purchasing others by the same publisher: Architecture Pack, Music Pack, etc. • However, since these were published every other year, they began acquiring other titles that were cool, unusual, interactive, or interesting. • They began collecting titles by specific paper engineers, like Robert Sabuda, David Carter, David Pelham, etc. 4 Richardson Collection COLLECTION COMES TO UK LIBRARIES Collection was donated to UK Libraries Special Collections, in Summer 2013 Processed, Summer and Fall 2014 Additions have been made to the collection 5 Richardson Collection TOY AND MOVABLE BOOKS The term pop-up book is often applied to any three- dimensional or movable book, although the proper umbrella term is movable book, which covers pop-ups, transformations, tunnel books, volvelles, flaps, pull-tabs, pop- outs, pull-downs, and more, each of which performs in a different manner. Also included because they employ the same techniques, are three-dimensional greeting cards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-up_book 6 Richardson Collection HOW DOES A BOOK MOVE? 7 Richardson Collection PAPER ENGINEERING Paper engineering is the cutting, gluing and folding of paper to create books and ephemera with pop- ups, pull-tabs, flaps and a variety of other moving parts. 8 Richardson Collection LC DEFINITION AND EXAMPLES “These are books that contain text or illustrations that can be moved or manipulated, more than in the turning of an ordinary page.

Th e earliest movable book mechanism was the volvelle, a predecessor to slide charts. Th e invention of the volvelle is generally attributed to Majorcan poet and mystic Ramón Llull (c.1235-1316), who embedded volvelles into his philosophical treatises in order to illustrate his complex ideas. Th e movable chart was popular among academics, and quickly spread to other fi elds of study, including medicine, mysticism, fortune telling, and astronomy. Although it paved the way for future movable children’s books, the volvelle of the early 1300s fi rmly belonged to the realm of scholars and was not meant for children’s hands.

Their success is to be measured by the ingenuity with which their bookish format conceals unbookish characteristics." Iona & Peter Opie Pop-up books and their movable book cousins have challenged our assumptions about books and reading for more than 700 years. They push the limits of ‘book’ and reinterpret the form. Pop-up books combine linear storytelling with aspects of visual spectacle and surprise to bring delight and add new facets to a narrative. Book becomes game. These pop-ups raise the question: how do you ‘read’ something in three dimensions? Not just for children anymore, pop-up books require exemplary teamwork from experts across the field: authors, illustrators, paper engineers, publishers, designers, and the often dozens of people responsible for putting the pop-up book together, must work as a team to perfect the form. Paper engineering is an art that requires many hands. Our team of Master of Library and Information Studies students, composed of Lucas Hill, Brooklyn Kemp, Sarah Khan, and Meaghan Smith, has curated a selection ranging from the horror filled to the historical, from the architectural to Alice in Wonderland.

ISBN: 978-0-8891-490-6 4 The Catalogue Is the Exhibit: Artists’ Books at Memorial University Libraries Introduction Artists’ books announce themselves in extravagant ways. They exist on a continuum between the traditional book (the codex) and book objects that resemble sculptures. There is no general agreement about when artists’ books first appeared; depending on who is asked, it was either in the early decades of the twentieth century or sometime in the 1960s. Nor is there any consensus about what constitutes an artist’s book: it is perhaps a traditional book reimagined, a sculpture, a painter’s portfolio, a coffee table book, a book of photographs, a novelty item, a work of art in book form, or some combination of the above.
