I’ve been enjoying my Making History class at WashU this semester, in which I’m testing the content of my forthcoming book. Here are some pix of students working with rare books and historical illustration in our Special Collections libraries. Librarian Cassie Brand is presenting the Kelmscott Chaucer in the first pic. #histodons #WashU #bookhistory #designhistory #illustrationhistory

My blog has been woefully dormant for a few months. But a research deep dive inspired the most recent post. Oh midcentury illustration… how I love you!

Gorgeously serene llustration by Navajo artist Hoke Denetsosie from Little Herder in Spring and Summer (1950) by Ann Nolan Clark.
It was part of the Little Herder series about a year in the life of a little Navajo girl, which originally appeared in English and Navajo for classroom use in Federal Indian schools.

Looking for an elephant in New Jersey.
Love the mood of this illustration by one of my all-time favourites Robert Ingpen. This is for The Stolen White Elephant, a short story by Mark Twain, published with Ingpen’s illustrations in 1987.
