The Art of Dorothy Lathrop

 

Dorothy Lathrop (1891-1980) was an American author and illustrator associated with the Golden Age of Illustration.

 

The Dorothy Lathrop Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of Lathrop's seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided for purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.

 

Her first major suit of published illustrations appears to have been prepared for an edition of Walter de la Mare's The Three Mulla-Mulgars (the edition carrying Lathrop's illustrations was first published in 1919). Lathrop is said to have developed a friendship with Walter de la Mare and she prepared further suites of illustrations to accompany his work, including those for Down-Adown-Derry (1922) and Crossings (1923).

Lathrop's first foray as an author was The Fairy Circus (1931) - a superb children's book that also carried a lovely suite of

her colour and monotone illustrations. The Fairy Circus (1931) received a Newbery Honor (an annual award conferred

by the American Library Association for the most distinguished children's books published).

 

In 1938, Animals of the Bible (1937) (including a wonderful suite of monotone illustrations prepared by Lathrop), won

the inaugural Caldecott Medal (an annual award conferred by the American Library Association for the most distinguished

illustrated children's book).
