WARREN CHAPPELL ORIGINAL ARTWORK 145. (CHAPPELL,WARREN)illus. ORIGINAL ART. Offered here is a group of 12 illustrations, many in color, sent by Chappell to his editor in the form of interesting book related notes and or Christmas greetings, as follows:

1. Watercolor dated July 30 showing a man a newspaper with a chair in the background. The note reads: “The proofs came yesterday morning. I am pleased that they look like they are successful to you there. It is always hard for me to see the first translation - especially before the ink has struck in. The staginess I wanted is there - as you noted. Also there is a change of pace in the big pictures so that the reader can have some surprises as he turns the pages. I am also glad that the best part - the music - gets fuller treatment in this book than in any of the others....”

2. Illustrated card 1985. The numbers 8 and 5 are featured prominently, the 5 is being played as a bass with a bow by a man in a three cornered hat.

3. 2 color illustrations mounted on note paper (part of note damaged). Both depict people in medieval costume - one woman and one man.

Very scarce and a nice copy. $400.00 the art was re-discovered (after Denslow’s death), the art itself was most likely executed circa 1910 when Denslow was actively illustrating advertising booklets. In their bibliography of Denslow, Greene and Hearn write about this art as follows: “The drawings were discovered in 1939 in the scrapbook of one William W. Reed. Since a man named Horace Reed was connected with Niagara Lithograph Company, it is likely that Denslow drew the pictures for one of his advertising pamphlets. The pictures first appeared in Youth Magazine, a hand-out to patrons of Dodd’s Dairy in Buffalo. In issue eleven, this pamphlet was announced as available from Dodd’s milkmen for ten cents.” Executed on Strathmore drawing board measuring 19 1/2” wide x 14 1/2” high, the image nearly fills the entire space, signed by Denslow with his characteristic seahorse design. This is a rare opportunity to own very fine published work by Denslow. $6500.00

London: Macmillan 1903. Elephant folio (16” x 22”). Containing 16 plates plus a 4 page list of illustrations and title page, all loose as issued in gilt pictorial cloth case. The gilt design on the cover of the case was also by the Detmolds. The case has the usual wear and repair to the fold-over cloth flaps and joints and there are some neat mends to a few paper protectors and contents pages. Overall this is a better than Very Good, nice complete copy. It is not known how many of these portfolios were issued, but due to the high quality of the reproductions and the costs involved in printing and constructing the pictorial cases, the total number was undoubtedly very small.

The portfolio is complete with 16 full color plates of varying size, each mounted on archival board measuring 15 1/2 x 21 1/2 inches and matted. Each plate has a protective paper sheet captioned with the title of the illustration. Done with the rich colors that typify the Detmolds’ artwork, the reproductions found in the small book edition published five years later pale in comparison to these plates. Generally considered their finest work and arguably the finest book illustrations of all time. R. Dalby (Golden Age of Book Illus. p. 96) says “These paintings were praised for their realistic detail and decorative arrangement” and Diana Johnson (RISD: Fantastic Illus. p. 61 ) says: “The end result of this incongruous joining together of the quasi-scientific and the ornamental is an image which is both fanciful and often rather disturbing.” This was published when the Detmold twins were only twenty years old, and proved to be their last collaborative work before Maurice committed suicide in 1908. Because the illustrations almost look like original art when framed, that was the fate of most plates, so the set is rarely found complete. $13,500.00

Friedrich Froebel was the creator of the kindergarten concept in Germany (1837). His idea was that children should learn through play time and he developed a systematic, almost mathematical, logical method of playing (he named them occupations) with materials (named gifts) in order to accomplish this. His ideas gradually made their way to the United States. Wiebe’s book is based on Froebel and incorporates modifications from France and England. In his , Wiebe notes that although modifications can be made, “to insure success, we must adopt his plan as a whole and carry it out with such modifications of secondary minutae only as the individual case may acquire without violating its fundamental principles. If this cannot be accomplished, it were better not to attempt the task at all.” He goes on to note that although other schools have called themselves “kindergartens” they actually have nothing in common with the “real” kindergartens based upon Froebel’s doctrines and he was concerned about the ever growing literature about these “spurious” kindergartens. According #226 to Brosterman’s book on kindergartens (p.99) “the best early book on the kindergarten system was J.F. Jacob’s Practical Manual for Frederic Froebel’s #226 Kindergarten of 1859” published in France. Earlier in the same year that the Paradise of Childhood was published, Hermann Goldhammer published his book on the kindergarten. Together with Wiebe’s book they marked the end of the original treatises on the kindergarten, “as most of the later teacher’s guides were indirect recapitulations of these first, very similar books” (Brosterman p.99). It is interesting to note that Frank Lloyd Wrights mother was one of the first to study Froebel’s methods in the U.S. in order to teach her son at home and Brosterman (p.139) makes a convincing argument that Frank Lloyd Wright’s development was a direct result of his having learned through Wiebe’s popularization of Froebel’s ideas because it was Wiebe’s book that codified the Froebel’s concepts for an American audience).

The second poster’s image measures 25 x 36” (framed to larger). It is a portrait of 2 men identified in one of the letters as Treasury Speaker with another man looming large behind him. $9500.00

Muir (Fairy World of Ida Outhwaite p. 44) notes that Outhwaite’s own children were used as the models for many of her books “and are perhaps most engagingly shown in the Enchanted Forest which was dedicated to them.” The work for this title was so appealing that it set in motion a large exhibit of her original work when the book arrived in Australia late in 1921. The Enchanted Forest was critically acclaimed as well, with one review ending: “These plates are full of the detail and humour that especially appeals to children, and although they are aesthetically pleasing too, are not mere decorations.” (Muir p.56).
