Zdenek Burian - *Satan und Ischariot* by Karl May
Ernst Waelti schreibt dazu:
Dies sind Burians Bilder zu Karl Mays Satan und Ischariot, Band 1.
Dies sind Burians Bilder zu Karl Mays Satan und Ischariot, Band 1.
Zu diesem Band existieren Sammelbilder, die nicht von Lindeberg stammen, sondern dessen Zeichner unbekannt ist. Es könnte aber sein, dass diese Bilder doch von Burian gemalt wurden, wenn sie auch nicht signiert sind. Ein entsprechendes Sammelbild trägt jeweils die gleiche Nummer wie die Buchillustration. Eine Überprüfung der Bilder ergibt, dass der Maler entweder auf eine äusserst unverfrorene Art und Weise Burians Bilder kopiert hat, oder dass Burian sie so nebenbei produziert hat. Eine Antwort könnte nur er selber geben.

Virginia Frances Sterret - *Tanglewood Tales* by N. Nawthorne (part1)
Ernst Waelti schreibt dazu:
Virginia Frances Sterrett wurde 1900 in Chigaco, Illinois, geboren. Sie war ein introvertiertes Kind, das lieber zeichnete und in seiner Phantasiewelt lebte, als sich mit seinen Schulkameraden abzugeben. Als ihr Vater starb zog die Familie nach Missouri, aber kehrte 1915 nach Chicago zurück. Sie studierte am Art Institute of Chicago. Als ihre Mutter erkrankte, verliess sie das Institut ein Jahr später. Sie war nun mit 16 Jahren der einzige Ernährer der Familie! Sie brachte die Familie mit Zeichnen für Inseraten-Agenturen durch. Nicht lange dauerte es, bis Virginia an Tuberkulose erkrankte. Doch 1919 erhielt sie einen Auftrag der Penn Publishing Company, um Old French Fairy Tales der Comptesse de Ségur zu illustrieren. Die Arbeit für die 8 Bilder in Wasserfarben und die 16 Tuschfederzeichnungen brachten ihr 500 $ ein. Schnell folgten dann die Bilder für Tanglewood Tales , die wir hier zeigen. Die Familie zog wegen des milderen Klimas nach Südkalifornien, wo Sie noch die Bilder für die Arabian Nights vollendete. Doch ihre Krankeit verschlimmerte sich und sie starb am 8. Juni, 1931, nur 30 Jahre alt.

Arthur Rackham - *Comus* by John Milton
Ernst Waelti:
Comus (A Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634) is a masque in honour of chastity, written by John Milton. It was first presented on Michaelmas, 1634, before John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater at Ludlow Castle in celebration of the Earl's new post as Lord President of Wales.
Known colloquially as Comus, the mask's actual full title is A Mask presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634: on Michelmas night, before the right honorable, Iohn Earl of Bridgewater, Viscount Brackly, Lord President of Wales, and one of His Maiesties most honorable privie councill. Comus was printed anonymously in 1637, in a quarto issued by bookseller Humphrey Robinson; Milton included the work in his Poems of 1645 and 1673. Milton's text was later used for a highly successful masque by the musician Thomas Arne in 1738, which then ran for more than seventy years in London.
The plot concerns two brothers and their sister, simply called "Lady", lost in a journey through the woods. Lady becomes fatigued, and the brothers wander off in search of sustenance.While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus, a character inspired by the god of mockery, who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with "gums of glutinous heat", she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer's wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her. Comus urges Lady to "be not coy" and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse Lady's appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind.
