Anderson, Anne and Wright, Alan The Cuddly-Kitty and the Busy Bunny
London Thomas Nelson Hard Cover Fair No Jacket 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall Anne Anderson
Undated, but c. 1926. Cream colour laminated boards with colour decoration. Red and white decorated endpapers. Condition: Fair to good, covers are generally lightly shelfworn with some bumping to spine and cover corners. Binding sound. Light foxing to title page and occasional light foxing and soiling within text. No inscriptions. 95pp. 24 colour plates inc. frontispiece. Anderson was a Scottish artist born in 1874, who then spent her childhood days in Argentina. In 1912, she married another artist, Alan Wright and they settled in Berkshire. Wright had a successful career in illustration prior to 1898 when he illustrated a story for Baron Corvo. The story and Corvo were highly criticised in the press, and because of his association with the story, Wright’s commissions dried up until he married Anderson. They collaborated on many books together. He would draw the animals and birds and she would draw everything else. It has been said that it is difficult to distinguish his work from hers. But mostly, he dedicated himself to providing her with an environment conducive to her work. In addition to her illustration, she was also an etcher, watercoloor painter and designer of greeting cards.
