From
Craft Horizons, November-
December, 1954, by Elizabeth Enright: "As for the importance of her work in the lives of others, it is certainly true that her illust- rations enhanced the book in many a nursery and that they enlivened the pages of thousands of school readers, for my mother was largely responsible for the revolutionizing of textbook illust- ration. Up to that time most primers had been adorned with stolid, utilitarian illustrations, nearly as deadly as the text: 'Ned has gone to the shed, Tom has a red sled. . . ' What my mother did was to bring grace, liveliness and, above all, imag- ination to the pages of these books. The unpretentious beauty and gaiety of her drawings must have quickened many young perceptions." |
