Introduction

Is there any one of us who does not recall with

affection a favorite ABC book? If we did not actually learn our letters from such a book, chances are we loved being read to from it or enjoyed just holding it, looking through its pages--dog-eared despite its "indestructible" guarantee--at the amusing illustrations that accompanied each letter of the alphabet. Chances are, too, that in this congenial activity we had no idea we were being educated about letters or morals or anything else. And this is one of the delights of alphabet books as we know them. Visual and verbal artistry conceal didactic purpose; learning seems accidental. Juvenile readers are entertained, and the adult authors and illu strators of these books have a splendid time creating new ways to depict the 26 letters of our alphabet. Collecting ABC books can be an especially enjoyable occupation, and the Watkinson Library is extremely fortunate to be the recipient of one bibliophile's fascination with the alphabet. The nearly 70 ABC books on display in this exhibition are selected from the collection of over 350 alphabet books given to the Watkinson Library in 1996 by John O. C. McCrillis.

The donor, known widely as one of the count

ry's leading calligraphers and book designers, most notably for his distinguished work with Yale University Press from 1952 to 1979, is a graphic artist whose interest in fine printing, unusual text, and outstanding illustration is revealed in the books he has collected. The range of publishing dates is from 1808 to the

1980s, with American imprints predominant. Although most books in the McCrillis

collection are for young readers, some are intended for adults and others are rare advertising pamphlets. The variety of alphabet books in the collection is well represented here, and visitors to this exhibition, young or old, will find much to delight in. The books selected for display are arranged chronologically by date of publication, beginning with an 1808 Philadelphia alphabet in German text and concluding with an illustrated bird alphabet first published in Massachusetts in 1986. In the bibliographic descriptions provided in each display case, as well as in the accompanying exhibition catalog, the author's name appears first, followed by title, illustrator (when appropriate) or other contributor, place of publication and date, pagination, size (height in centimeters) and notes. Often author and illustrator are the same. For many early books, names of author and illustrator are unknown and the title appears first.

Acknowledgments

Preparation of this exhibition and catalog was a collaborative effort of the best kind. In addition to designing the catalog, John McCrillis contributed text and supplied photographs. Color illustrations were made possible through the generosity of the printer, Phoenix Press, Inc. The ABC books were cataloged by Kimberly Weatherford, Trinity College Catalog Librarian, and these bibliographic descriptions were incorporated in the catalog checklist and exhibition labels. Publication of the catalog was underwritten by the Watkinson Library/Trinity College Library Associates and Phoenix Press, Inc. As always, the support of Stephen Peterson, College Librarian, and the Watkinson Library staff--Jeffrey Kaimowitz, Curator of the Watkinson Library, and Peter Knapp, College Archivist--was invaluable.

Collector's Statement

I began buying alphabet books for my daughter, Susan, when she was about two years old. The first book I acquired for her was A Apple Pie, by Kate Greenaway (London: Frederick Warne & Co., Ltd., ca. 1900), not shown in the exhibition. Like most parents, my wife, Barbara, and I we re interested in finding attractive books that we would enjoy reading aloud and that our daughter would like to look at by herself as she began to read independently. Our training in art (we are both graduates of the Rhode Island School of Design) and my work as a graphic artist and book designer led us quite naturally to look for books with distinctive design and images, as well as unusual text. One book led to another, and it wasn't long before we realized that we werequotesdbs_dbs3.pdfusesText_6
