    YE INTRUDERS BEWARE: FANTASTICAL PIRATES IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF ILLUSTRATION Anne M. Loechle Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of the History of Art Indiana University November 2010 Accepted by the Graduate Faculty, Indiana University, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Doctoral Committee _________________________________ Chairperson, Sarah Burns, Ph.D. __________________________________ Janet Kennedy, Ph.D. __________________________________ Patrick McNaughton, Ph.D. __________________________________ Beverly Stoeltje, Ph.D. November 9, 2010 ii ©2010 Anne M. Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.

Lighthouse design was his father's and his family's profession, so at age seventeen, he enrolled at Edinburgh University to study engineering, with the goal of following in the family business. Lighthouse design never appealed to Stevenson, though, and he began studying law instead. His spirit of adventure truly began to appear at this stage, and during his summer vacations he traveled to France to be around young writers and painters.

This doesn't change when a game happens to use a computer. In fact, with the EPYX games, it becomes even more intense. Of course, to be worth your time and money, the games you buy must be superior and uniquely rewarding. That's why we deSign the game before we deSign the program. That's also why each of the games in this catalog has been playtested for hundreds of hours. The EPYXgames are more challenging than most other computer games available to you. Why? You take command! You determine the course of history! You plan your playing strategy! That's why we've mini­ mized the complexity of the mechanics of play and of the rules.

    Blues Breaker Mick Taylor © Felix Aeppli 07-2020 / 08-2021 5001 January 17, 1949 (not 1948) Born in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire: Michael Kevin (not James) Taylor. 5001A 1963 Hatfield, Hertfordshire, or London: THE STRANGERS, MEET THE STRANGERS (One-sided 10" acetate, 1963): 1. A Picture Of You (Beveridge, Oakman), 2. The Cruel Sea (Maxfield), 3. It’ll Be Me (Clement), 4. Saturday Night At The Duck Pond (Owen, based on a section from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake) MT, Alan Shacklock: guitar; Malcolm Collins: vocals (1, 3); John Glass (later Glascock): bass; Brian Glass (later Glascock): drums. 5001B 1964 Hatfield, Hertfordshire, or London: THE JUNIORS, Single (Columbia DB 7339 [UK], Aug. 1964); MADE IN ENGLAND VOL. 2 – BRITISH BEAT SPECIAL 1964 - 69 (LCD 25-2, CD [France], Spring, 2000): 1.

Come On Down To My Boat Baby (Farrell, Goldstein), 2. Garage Man (Hensley) NOTES: Cuts 1, 2: MT’s participation in this session is very much open to speculation and his own interviews on the subject are full of contradictions; most likely MT had taken part in some live shows, but he never was in THE GODS’ actual line-up (Lee Kerslake: guitar; Ken Hensley: organ, vocals; John Glascock: bass, back-up vocals; Brian Glascock, perhaps alternating with Lee Kerslake: drums); – Nor is MT identical with MICK TAYLOR playing guitar and singing on a Single (CBS 201770 [UK], June, 1965), London Town, Hoboin’ (both Taylor - produced by Jimmy Duncan and Peter Eden); or involved in Cockleshells (Taylor), a track recorded by MARIANNE FAITHFULL (NORTH COUNTRY MAID, Decca LK 4778 [UK], Feb.
