Wanda Gág’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Studies and Illustrations Arrive

Support for the purchase of this original artwork came from the Elizabeth F. and Phillip Y. Barrett Endowment Fund for the University of Minnesota Libraries.  “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us,” noted Dr. Karen Nelson Hoyle, Curator of the Children’s Literature Research Collections.  “Thanks to magnanimous foresight of Mr. and Mrs. Barrett, the Collections will now be much richer.”  The Elizabeth F. and Phillip Y. Barrett Endowment Fund was established to enable the Children's Literature

Research Collections to purchase rare and unique collections as they become available on the market.

Wanda Gág (1893-1946) was born in New Ulm, Minnesota and lived there through graduation from high school.  She attended art schools in St. Paul and Minneapolis and then moved to New York City (with stints in Connecticut and New Jersey), where she became part of the art scene. Her book Millions of Cats (1928) became an immediate classic. It has remained in print since its publication and has been translated for publication to serveral languages.

The Kerlan Collection held seven typescript drafts of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but had only one original ink drawing from the work,  before the recent acquisition.

Prior to the purchase, Dr. Hoyle consulted with several local book dealers who supported her recommendation to acquire the entire offering of original artwork. If the collection were to be listed in a dealer's catalog, it would be sold piece by piece and would be almost impossible to reassemble in the future.

Walt Disney's first full-length animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was released in December 1937, just prior to Gág’s book. Disney modified the original Grimm fairy tale for his screen adaptation, but Gág provided a faithful text, as she spoke and read German fluently. A comparison of the Disney movie (now more familiar to the American public) and Gág’s work makes an interesting assignment for K-12, as well as for adult researchers.

For more information, please contact Dr. Karen Nelson Hoyle, (612) 624-4817.

From The Curator

Ideally, the comprehensive book collection should include all children’s and young adult books in first printing which are inscribed by the author and illustrator. Frequently, the prospectus includes variant editions and translations of these books.

Historically, collecting Newbery and Caldecott Award books in first printings was the principle guideline for founder Irvin Kerlan, MD. He was so committed to this task that he compiled a bibliography of these award titles that was published by the University of Minnesota Press in 1949. The staff extended this to include translated and British editions. Frequently, the latter have changes in spelling, such as “colour” for “color” and word preferences such as “dustman” for “garbage collector” and “biscuit” for “cookie.” Occasionally in translated editions there are deletions of entire episodes.

If an editor arranges for updated illustrations, such as Lynd Ward’s second set of illustrations for Elizabeth Coatsworth’s THE CAT WHO WENT TO HEAVEN or Ed Young’s new illustrations for SHEN OF THE SEA, the staff attempts to acquire the new edition.

Furthermore, the staff encourages the authors and illustrators to inscribe the copies. While some merely autographed their books, others including Minnesotan Kristine Franklin wrote a paragraph-length commentary in each of her books in the Collection. In a recent book, for example, she described what precipitated the book while she was living in Guatemala.

Authors in the past often wrote a first draft by hand, termed “holograph.” Marguerite Henry placed her first draft in a three-ring notebook and corrected it by hand. She frequently used the reverse side of the page to the left for further revisions. She typed later drafts, and some of them were further revised by editors using red or green pencil. Numerous drafts are “grist” for researchers.

Similarly, many artists folded small paper booklets to create a thirty-two page “dummy” for each book. Golden Press provided Gustaf Tenggren with a booklet with clearly marked dimensions for each illustration. Dahlov Ipcar used a large poster for her DAY BIRDS AND NIGHT BIRDS storyboard. Tomie dePaola painted color swatches on the margins of some watercolors.

Authors, illustrators, editors, marketing staff, and private collectors frequently respond generously to the University of Minnesota’s commitment to this research collection. On an annual basis, the Kerlan Award acknowledges one or more of these individuals. With increasing electronic developments, some of the steps in creation will be difficult to document. Some authors already edit on-line rather than on paper print-outs, and even e-mail the final draft to the publisher.

There is a direct correlation between visits of scholars to the Kerlan Collection and the depth of material in its holdings. Professor Sarah Smedman was attracted here to study Katherine Paterson’s manuscripts. Julie L’Enfant is currently working with Wanda Gag’s legacy for a forthcoming book.

As the depth of holdings in books, manuscripts, and illustrations the Kerlan Collection receives from the authors and illustrators and others increases in the future, visiting scholars and potential exhibitors can be more successful in their respective endeavors.

--Karen Nelson Hoyle, Curator

Coming Events

Jane Kurtz, a superb storyteller, is a author of Fire on the Mountain; Pulling the Lion’s Tail; Amiro in the Kingdom of the Sun; I’m Sorry, Almira Ann and several other books. She is noted for her ability to weave details of place and time into powerfully moving stories. The Kerlan Collection holds original material for several of her books, including Faraway Home; I’m Sorry Almira Ann; and The Storyteller’s Beads. Her recent picture book, River Friendly, River Wild, consists of a series of poems about a family’s experiences during the recent Grand Forks, North Dakota flood. This moving account of personal loss and the triumph of the human spirit is the basis for her speech following the Book Week Dinner on Tuesday October 17, in the Hubert H. Humphrey Room, Radisson Metrodome Hotel.  There will be an opportunity to purchase books before the dinner. The speech will be followed by an autographing session.

The Art of Harlin Quist
Minnesota Center for Book Arts Star Tribune Foundation Gallery. On Exhibit: September 26  through December 31, 2000. Opening Reception: Saturday, September 23, 6 – 9 p.m.

Harlin Quist always believed in the ineffable magic of books and in the incredible capacity of youngsters to reach beyond words and pictures  into a realm where fantasy and feeling lie deeper than words.

The Art of Harlin Quist investigates the mystery of “what a book is and what a book can do” in the context of commercial publishing, presenting 80 original illustrations from Quist books old and new – from the classic The Geranium on the Windowsill Just Died but Teacher You Went Right On, Guy Billout’s Bus 24, and Patrick Couratin’s Shhh! to the new (and yet unseen) When Cats Were Green, A Question of Detail, Mozart and His Chimp, and Taxi!.

In conjunction with the display, Dr. Nicholas Paley of George Washington University will present a lecture discussing the impetus and import of Harlin Quist’s work, including thoughts on his new publications and re-entry into the children’s book publishing industry. The lecture will be held at MCBA on Thursday, October 26.

Marion Dane Bauer, Author
Featuring Touch the Moon (1987).  Included is correspondence with Bauer’s editor at Clarion Books, James Cross Giblin, and his assessment of and recommendations for her manuscript, along with the first, second, and final drafts of selected chapters.  Upper elementary children interested in writing will find these materials useful for making comparative analyses of this “realistic fantasy” and, in the process, they will become aware of the perseverance that is necessary in order to become a good writer.  Two copies of Touch the Moon are included in the portfolio, along with a video about the author produced by Northern Lights. (CC)

All of the educational portfolios are available for a two-week loan period for a nonrefundable advance payment of $25.  This fee covers the cost of insuring the original artwork and for boxing and maintaining the portfolio.  Your canceled check or money order, payable to the University of Minnesota, will be your receipt.  Portfolios must be reserved in advance by calling the Kerlan Collection at 612-624-4576 and be picked up and returned in person at a prearranged time during regular Kerlan hours (M-F, 9:00 A.M.-4:00 P.M.), except for portfolios listed above.  There is an additional $5-per-day fee for late returns, and an added usage fee may be charged if the portfolio is returned damaged and/or with pieces missing.

Portfolios were prepared by Kerlan volunteers Carmel Conry (CC), Mary Lou Voigt (MLV), and Karen Ritz & Lyn Lacy (KR/LL).  Written permission to reproduce their works was secured from the participating authors, illustrators, and publishers by the Kerlan staff.  Funding for these projects was provided by the Kerlan Friends.
