Milestone Monday

On this date, May 22 in 1907, Georges Prosper Remi, better known to the world as the Belgian cartoonist Hergé, creator of the uber-popular comic book series The Adventures of Tintin, was born in Etterbeek, Brussels. The series, which follows the adventures of the intrepid young Belgian reporter Tintin, was published in 24 titles from 1929 to Hergé's death in 1983. They have been published in more than 70 languages with sales of more than 200 million copies, and have been adapted for radio, television, theatre, and film. The storylines thrust Tintin, along with his faithful dog Snowy and the brash and cynical Captain Haddock, into global mysteries and action-adventures, punctuated by slapstick comedy, set in the events and issues that span the 20th century.

British editions of the Tintin series were published in London by Methuen and translated into English by Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper and Michael Turner starting in 1958. We hold 22 early printings of the English-language titles, most published by the London reprint house Magnet. Our copies run from 1972-1983.

Fernand Knopff (1858 - 1921).

"Caress of the Sphinx" and aka simply just as "Art," 1896.

Oil on Canvas.

Height: 505mm (19.88 inches), Width: 1,510mm (59.44 inches).

Collection: Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels.

Caress of the Sphinx (also known as Art) is an 1896 painting by the Belgian Symbolist artist Fernand Khnopff (1858–1921) famed for its depiction of androgyny. The work is an interpretation of the French symbolist painter Gustave Moreau's 1864 painting Oedipus and the Sphinx.

It is pointed out in the book Enchanting David Bowie that the album cover artwork by Guy Peellaert for the rock star's 1974 album Diamond Dogs possesses striking similarities to the painting.

The painting plays an important part in the plot of the short story "The Caress" from the book "Axiomatic" of Greg Egan.

The painting is in the permanent collection of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts of Belgium in Brussels.

A Belgian draught horse trotting

This is my fourth completed animation cycle and I thought it would be fun to have a go at a different angle and a different type of horse. I used pencil and black calligraphy ink like last time. I know it is still choppy and hasn't got much "bounce" in the stride, but I'm trying to get better!

Shakespeare Weekend

This week we present Shakespeare’s tragedy, Julius Cesar, the eighth volume of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. Julius Cesar was likely produced around 1599 and was first printed in the folio of 1623.

This edition of Julius Cesar was illustrated by the famous Belgian illustrator and wood-engraver Frans Masereel. He was an obvious choice for an illustrator; before this project he had illustrated “dozens upon dozens” of books. Including the Limited Editions Club edition of Notre Dame de Paris, 1930.

In a note on illustrating this text, Masereel explains the necessity for an artist to adjust their “style” to harmonize with a text.

I cannot imagine how an artist can illustrate books all his life without changing his ‘style.’ While retaining as basis his own methods of expression, the artist must therefore enter as closely as possible into the spirit of the work that he is to embellish with pictures.

He ends his note in the same tone saying “I have...endeavored to suggest the spirit of the drama... by the plastic means at my command. I have thus desired to accomplish a work that would harmonize with the art of typography.”

The volume was printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish. Each of the LEC volumes of Shakespeare’s works are illustrated by a different artist, but the unifying factor is that all volumes were designed by famed book and type designer Bruce Rogers and edited by the British theatre professional and Shakespeare specialist Herbert Farjeon. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.
