Bunny and Brownie: The Adventures of George and Wiggle (1930)

Illustrated by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite

 

 

 

On the left, we show a 1st Edition example

retaining the original decorated marbled boards

and pictorial title paste-down.

 

To the right, we show the illustrated

Title Page for Bunny and Brownie:

The Adventures of George and Wiggle.

 

Bunny and Brownie: The Adventures of George and Wiggle was published in 1930 by A & C Black, Ltd (London).

 

The tale was written and illustrated by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite and recounts the whimsical Easter-related tale of

Fairies and bunnies. Stylistically, the illustrations appear to be a significant departure from Outhwaite's antipodean

themes and a more European setting seems to have been adopted for the illustrations.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-in plates - in homage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century.

 

Hand-finishing is used to replicate the visual appearance of a tipped-in plate and the images are presented on

Ivory card stock (in the case of colour illustrations) or White card stock (in the case of monotone illustrations)

with an accompanying envelope. We have left the cards blank so that you may write your own personal

message.

 

Should you wish to order a Reproduction Print of one or more of these images, we have provided some options

below. Of course, should you wish to discuss some customised options, we welcome your contact on any matter

through ThePeople@SpiritoftheAges.com.

 

In the meantime, enjoy perusing these wonderful examples of the art of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite.
