TENNIEL John (1820-1914)

Après avoir suivi des cours aux Beaux-Arts et à l'Académie Clepstone Street Life, il entre en 1851 au journal satirique 'Punch' et devient bientôt un caricaturiste célèbre. Lewis Carroll, séduit par sa technique précise et raffinée, lui demande d'illustrer 'Alice au pays des merveilles' puis 'De l'autre côté du miroir'. Aujourd'hui encore, les dessins de John Tenniel restent indissociables de ces deux œuvres.

POTTER [Helen] Beatrix (1866-1943)
Illustratrice et auteur pour la jeunesse anglaise, née à Londres.
« A repressed child, she grew up longing for the country and animals. She taught herself to draw and paint, and her famous characters started as sketches of pet animals dressed as human being, along with letters to amuse a sick child, which she privately published as 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit' (1900) and 'The Tailor of Gloucester' (1902). A publisher reprinted them, and she became the outstanding writer and artist of picture-story books of her time, widely translated and reprinted. 'Peter Rabbit, Jemina Puddle-Duck, Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, Benjamin Bunny', and other creations have become classics of children's literature. In 1913 she married William HEELIS, stopped writing, and spent the rest of her life raising Herdwick's sheep. » (D. Crystal)

NEWELL Peter (Sheaf Hersey) (1862-1924)
« L'illustrateur américain Peter Newell (...) forge sa réputation de dessinateur humoristique dans les années 1880 et 1890, travaillant principalement pour Harper & Brothers. Il reste aujourd'hui particulièrement célèbre pour ses livres hors normes publiés entre 1908 et 1912 : 'The Hole Book' traversé par un trou, 'The Slant Book' en forme de parallélogramme et 'The Rocket Book'. » (Picaud & Piffault)

« Sa caractéristique notoire est de s'être attaqué aux deux aventures d'Alice avec presque autant d'illustrations que Tenniel, 41 pour le Pays des Merveilles, 40 pour le Pays du Miroir, des gravures pleine-page sepia en demi-teinte, à l'exception des frontispices en couleurs, encadrées ainsi que le texte par des filets somptueux. »

KIRK Maria Louise (1860-1938)

Maria Louise Kirk was born in Lancaster [(near Philadelphia)], Pennslyania, on 21st June, 1860. Despite being a prolific and highly talented illustrator, very little is known about her life.
She studied art in Philadelphia – at the School of Design for Women, and the Academy of Fine Arts. These schools were well-respected in the area, and Kirk exhibited broadly in her home-state. She consequently won awards in both Phladelphia and Chicago, and illustrated over fifty books during the course of her lifetime. Many of her most famous pieces were commissioned during the 1890s, and her most celebrated work was a delicate rendition of Alice in Wonderland, which came out in 1904.
Amongst Kirk’s other well-known works are illustrations for 'At the Back of the North Wind', written by George MacDonald (1904), Frances Hodgson Burnett’s 'The Secret Garden' [(1911)], Charles Kingsley’s 'The Water Babies' [(1863)], Jean Ingelow’s 'Mopsa the Fairy' (1910), another Macdonald work; 'The Princess and Curdie' (1914), Johanna Spyri’s 'Heidi' (1915), [Carlo Collodi's] 'Pinocchio; The Story of a Puppet' (1920), and 'Favourite Rhymes of Mother Goose' (1923). 'The Story of the Canterbury Pilgrims' – an adaption of Chaucer’s 'Canterbury Tales' – is perhaps her most ‘classic’ set of illustrations (published in 1914).
Kirk’s characteristic style included exceptionally technically-well-executed children, with bright foregrounds and foreboding dark backgrounds. Her characters are stylised, and statuesque in their quiet beauty, but show little of the art nouveaux and art deco influences so prominent for many of Kirk’s fellow illustrators. Today, her monotone works are just as sought after as her colour plates.
Maria Louise Kirk died on her birthday in 1938 – at the age of seventy-eight. (Source : Pook Press [en ligne])

FURNISS Harry (1854-1925)
Harry Furniss, (born March 26, 1854, Wexford, County Wexford, Ire.—died Jan. 14, 1925, Hastings, East Sussex, Eng.), British caricaturist and illustrator, best known for his political and social lampoons.
Mainly self-taught, he settled in London in 1873 and, before turning wholly to free-lance work in 1894, became very popular as a staff artist for The Illustrated London News (1876–84) and Punch. In his parliamentary cartoons he emphasized idiosyncrasies of face and dress: an amusing example is the strip cartoon “Getting Gladstone’s Collar Up.” He also designed a famous commercial “tramp” poster for a brand of soap (“I used your soap two years ago and have not used any other since”). Strongly critical of the Royal Academy, he held in 1887 an exhibition of parodies of the work of leading Burlington House exhibitors, and in 1890 published Royal Academy Antics. He illustrated many books, including Lewis Carroll’s 'Sylvie and Bruno' (1889[, 1893]) and complete editions of Dickens (1910) and Thackeray (1911). In 1912–13 he worked as a film writer, actor, and producer for Thomas Edison in New York City and London; 'Our Lady Cinema' (1914) outlined his hopes for that art. He was also a novelist, essayist, and writer of art instructional manuals. (Britannica)

Cet illustrateur anglais exposa ses aquarelles en 1888 à la Royal Academy. Sa collaboration au magazine 'Westminster Budget' dès 1892 lui permit de faire largement connaître son talent.
Il illustra notamment :
John Matthew BARRIE (1860-1937) : 'Peter Pan dans les Jardins de Kensington' (1906).

BOWLEY Ada [Leonora] (1867-1954)

She worked for Raphael Tuck as a postcard illustrator and designer, producing complex and beautifully coloured images (...). She used her initials and not her full name as an illustrator, which was significant as a veil to her identity in a patriarchal world. Her drawings can be seen in the 'Alice' edition published by Tuck in 1921. The cover (initially framed in red but changed to baby blue in later editions) features the scene at the beginning of the story: Alice chasing the White Rabbit. This reflects the way in which the reader will enter the adventure. Her dress is baby blue and with a light print and a dark belt, as in Charles Folkard illustrations. The images inside include some coloured ones, but the majority are black and white (adapting Tenniel's original drawings to A. L. Bowley's style). Almost every character appears to be younger, even the Mad Hatter, and practically all of them seem dreamy and candid, showing a more pleasant side of Wonderland. The aesthetic is somewhat reminiscent of "kewpies", a brand of dolls and figurines by the cartoonist Rose O'Neill which were very popular toys in the 1920's. The target audience of this book seems to have been younger than the usual one, based on these details, and was probably the same as that for 'The Nursery Alice' (children up to five). There was also a 1927 pop-up edition in the "Golden Treasury" series, which inclued a jigsaw. Ada Leonora Bowley was also the author and illustrator of other books of tales, including 'Dame Wiggins of Lee' (1915), 'Jack the Beanstalk' (1921), and 'Cinderella' (c. 1921).

FOLKARD Charles [James] (1878-1963)
Charles Folkard (1878-1963) was an artist, illustrator and author of children's books. Educated at Lewisham, he became apprenticed to a firm of designers but left to become a professional conjuror. He later produced illustrations for The Daily Mail, inventing the cartoon character, 'Teddy Tail'. The Flint Heart (1910) was one of Folkard's earliest commissions; he went on to illustrate children's books for the next forty years, including Swiss Family Robinson (1910), Pinnochio (1911), Grimm's Fairy Tales (1911), Aesop's Fables (1912), Arabian Nights (1913), Jackdaw of Rheims (1913), Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes (1919), British Fairy and Folk Tales (1920) and Songs from Alice in Wonderland (1921).

MAGRITTE René (1898-1967)
« Le ciel bleu n'est plus noir :
Un pays taillé dans la lumière et couvert d'obélisques nous est offert. Tout au long de ses chemins verdoyants, nous avons déjà rencontré le sourire de Schéhérazade, les mains blanches des elfes et les chevelures brillantes des fées. Dans ce pays des merveilles, Alice joue avec un petit lapin. Méliès nous est apparu à certain carrefour, comme s'il était sorti de l'air. Le rêve vrai de Peter Ibbetson nous y enveloppe de toutes parts, dissimulant à nos yeux les cauchemars de glace. Ici le ciel est ouvert au soleil, qui est le chemin qui nous conduit à un sentiment nouveau. L'âge d'or, que nous refusons de placer dans le futur abstrait, dès maintenant le charme nous l'apporte dans les limites même de notre vie.

Voyez s'ouvrir les portes qui nous séparaient des clairières où règne le plaisir. » (René Magritte, Le Surréalisme en plein soleil, 1946)

ANGLADA Lola [Maria Dolors Anglada i Sarriera] (1892-1984)
Née à Barcelone en 1893, elle appartient à une famille aisée de la bourgeoisie catalane. Dès son plus jeune âge, elle reçoit des cours de peinture de maîtres prestigieux comme Joan Llaverias ou Apel-les Mestres. Artiste précoce, elle publie en 1905 ses premières illustrations jeunesse et, en 1916, elle réalise sa première exposition individuelle. La même année, elle intègre l’Academia Francesc Galí, où elle rencontre d’autres artistes prometteurs tels que Joan Miró ou Lloréns Artigas. C’est à cette époque qu’elle réalise ses premiers livres illustrés, qui constitueront une grande partie de son œuvre d’illustratrice. Outre sa carrière artistique, elle milite activement contre le régime de Primo de Rivera, pour la cause des femmes et la défense de la culture catalane. Elle s’éteint à Barcelone en 1984.

Lola Anglada a aussi illustré Mme D'Aulnoy ('La Chatte blanche', Hachette, s.d.).

POGANY William Andrew, dit « Willy » [Vilmos Andreas Pogány] (1882-1955)
Illustrateur américain (?), d'origine hongroise, né à Szeged.

Here we can find the “flapper Alice”, with a typical 1920s look, wearing a mini-skirt and a white, short-sleeved shirt with a tie, lending her the aspect of a public school girl, which would be the equivalent status of the original Alice (that is, from the middle-high class, home-schooled, subject to Victorian manners and etiquette) but transported to the first decades of the twentieth century. The cover retains the idea of a brightly coloured cloth (in this case, purple) with details in gold, featuring Alice and the White Rabbit. The illustrations inside are mainly black and white, with one of the most curious elements being the introduction of an anthropomorphized deck of cards, and the portrayal of three types of people (including young girls) with very realistic legs. There was also a large, loose-bound edition, limited to 200 numbered copies, signed by the artist. Pogany was an illustrator for all age groups, and from the early 1920s was well known for his artnouveau paintings and drawings. (Andrea Valeiras-Fernández & María Jesús Lorenzo-Modia)

BOUR René (1908-1934)

« C'est (...) à l'intention des adultes que le jeune René Bour (...) propose une traduction, remarquable par son écriture comme par les illustrations « fil de fer » qu'il réalise à l'encre de chine. Bour est le premier traducteur qui se montre attentif à l'invention langagière de Carroll. Il s'attache à recréer en français des jeux de langue équivalents à ceux du texte anglais, dans une écriture toujours alerte et drôle. Sa traduction, préfacée par Pierre Mille, sera publiée après sa mort, chez Desclée de Brouwer à Paris en 1937. Elle fera l'objet d'un compte rendu très élogieux dans la 'Gazette des beaux-arts' et sera rééditée à Genève par la Guilde du livre en 1949 et en 1951. » (I. Nières-Chevrel)
