Making Amusement the Vehicle of Instruction’: Key Developments in the Nursery Reading Market 1783-1900
1 ‘Making amusement the vehicle of instruction’: Key Developments in the Nursery Reading Market 1783-1900 PhD Thesis submitted by Lesley Jane Delaney UCL Department of English Literature and Language 2012 SIGNED DECLARATION 2 I, Lesley Jane Delaney confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ABSTRACT 3 ABSTRACT During the course of the nineteenth century children’s early reading experience was radically transformed; late eighteenth-century children were expected to cut their teeth on morally improving texts, while Victorian children learned to read more playfully through colourful picturebooks. This thesis explores the reasons for this paradigm change through a study of the key developments in children’s publishing from 1783 to 1900. Successively examining an amateur author, a commercial publisher, an innovative editor, and a brilliant illustrator with a strong interest in progressive theories of education, the thesis is alive to the multiplicity of influences on children’s reading over the century. Chapter One outlines the scope of the study. Chapter Two focuses on Ellenor Fenn’s graded dialogues, Cobwebs to catch flies (1783), initially marketed as part of a reading scheme, which remained in print for more than 120 years. Fenn’s highly original method of teaching reading through real stories, with its emphasis on simple words, large type, and high-quality pictures, laid the foundations for modern nursery books. Chapter Three examines John Harris, who issued a ground- breaking series of colour-illustrated rhyming stories and educational books in the 1810s, marketed as ‘Harris’s Cabinet of Amusement and Instruction’. -

What attracts their attention is a beautiful but mysterious lady with her eyes cast down. -

Allaert van Everdingen (Alkmaar 1621 - Amsterdam 1675) Month of August (Virgo): The Harvest brush and grey and brown wash 11.1 x 12.8 cm (4⅜ x 5 in) The Month of August (Virgo): The Harvest has an extended and fascinating provenance. Sold as part of a complete set of the twelve months in 1694 to the famed Amsterdam writer and translator Sybrand I Feitama (1620-1701), it was passed down through the literary Feitama family who were avid collectors of seventeenth-century Dutch works on paper.¹ The present work was separated from the other months after their 1758 sale and most likely stayed in private collections until 1936 when it appeared in Christie’s London saleroom as part of the Henry Oppenheimer sale. Allaert van Everdingen was an exceptional draughtsman who was particularly skilled at making sets of drawings depicting, with appropriate images and activities, the twelve months of the year.² This tradition was rooted in medieval manuscript illumination, but became increasingly popular in the context of paintings, drawings and prints in the sixteenth century.³ In the seventeenth century, the popularity of such themed sets of images began to wane, and van Everdingen’s devotion to the concept was strikingly unusual. He seems to have made at least eleven sets of drawings of the months, not as one might have imagined, as designs for prints, but as artistic creations in their own right. Six of these sets remain intact, while Davies (see lit.) has reconstructed the others, on the basis of their stylistic and physical characteristics, and clues from the early provenance of the drawings. -

Lunde Collection, New York, 2013. Looking through and beyond a waterfall, a herdsman can be seen fording a river with his sheep in tow. Behind him and to the right is a mature oak within a bosky landscape which gives way to an archetypical Ruisdael sky with receding clouds of varying height and thickness. Flashes of silver and pink suffuse the canopy of clouds as they become darker and more brooding towards the top. To the front and right hand of the picture composition two silver birches rise up over the riverbank. One is a sapling and the other a dying tree which has lost a branch. A flash of sunlight is rippling across the river below as it begins to funnel into the torrent. All round the bank of the river there are clusters of young oak trees clinging on to life. The imaginary mountain in the far left background balances the groups of trees on the right and creates a sense of depth back and beyond the river. -

YA L E U N I V E R S I T Y A R T PRESS For Immediate Release GALLERY RELEASE September 26, 2014 AN OUTSTANDING LOAN TO THE YALE UNIVERSITY ART GALLERY OF 30 DUTCH 17TH-CENTURY PAINTINGS FROM THE ROSE-MARIE AND EIJK VAN OTTERLOO COLLECTION New Haven, Conn., September 26, 2014—The tremendous commercial and political success enjoyed by the Dutch Republic during the 17th century led to an unprecedented period of cultural, artistic, and scientific accomplishment in the Netherlands. This era is generally considered the Golden Age of Dutch art, when painters developed a range of new styles and subjects and achieved levels of quality unparalleled by any other European school at the time. Already coveted by collectors in 18th-century Britain, paintings by the Dutch masters have been the object of fierce competition among Jacob van Ruisdael, View of Haarlem, ca. 1670–75. Oil on canvas.

Over the past two decades, Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo have assembled one of the most magnificent private collections of 17th-century Dutch art in the world, comprising superb examples of nearly all the major categories of subject matter explored by artists of the time: portraits, landscapes, church interiors, still lifes, genre scenes, and more. All of the works in the van Otterloo collection are distinguished by their remarkable quality, enviable condition, and dazzling display of pictorial craft. -

The wilderness of Allaert van Everdingen Experience and representation of the north in the age of the baroque !"!#$#% &'(")*&")* In the year 1644, a young and up-coming Dutch artist, Allaert van Ever- dingen, was shipwrecked o+ the south coast of Norway. According to Arnold Houbraken’s retelling of the incident in De groote schouburgh der Nederlantsche konstschilders en schilderessen (The Great Theatre of Dutch Painters) from 1718,, the young man was saved, supposedly with his draw- ing materials, and for a few months he travelled in this part of the world, depicting the nature and landscapes of southern Norway and western Sweden. The anecdote of the shipwreck and the subsequent whereabouts of the artist have never been fully clari-ed. Navigation fraught with danger and risk-taking—not to mention potential fortune—was of course one of the many thrilling tales of adventurers and entrepreneurs of the time, but unfortunately, no travel diary has been found and supporting sources have been generally faulty.. All the same, the assumption among scholars today is that Allaert van Everdingen, born in Alkmaar in 1621 and trained as a marine artist in Utrecht and Haarlem, at the age of twenty-three hopped on one of the many Dutch timber traders bound for Scandina- vian and Baltic coastal towns./ Shipwrecked or not, there is now little doubt that he visited Risør and Langesund in Norway, important staple towns for timber, as well as the mountainous Telemark region nearby. Furthermore, he found his way to the newly constructed port city of Gothenburg in Sweden. He explored the city’s immediate surroundings, including the waterfall and mills at Mölndal, and likely followed the course of the nearby river Göta älv, reaching at least as far as the waterfalls at Trollhättan.
