BOOKS ILLUSTRATED BY BRANGWYN

Between 1890 and 1948 Brangwyn produced original illustrations for over 80 books. In his youth the impetus may have been financial – it was good bread and butter work. Many of the early illustrations were painted in grisaille on cheap board, involving minimal expense. It also has to be admitted that a large proportion of these early daubs are pretty dire – Brangwyn wasn’t about to waste time on such matters. And yet, at the same time, such work was a good means of advertising oneself.

Brangwyn’s interest in publishing improved in tandem with progress in reproduction. He gradually moved to painting illustrations in colour and these oils had a higher marketable value quite apart from the printing considerations. The compositions also improved, and he became an extremely knowledgeable and fastidious editor of reproductions of his own work.

In his prime Brangwyn had more than enough commissioned work to keep him busy but continued to illustrate books – perhaps he couldn’t resist the challenge.  There were three other possible reasons Brangwyn carried on illustrating books, one charitable, the second a social conscience and the third an inability to refuse friends. The covers Brangwyn designed for Hugh Redwood’s books are a paradigm – the artist was persuaded by the Rev Arthur Hird, Editor of the Theological Literature Department of Hodder and Stoughton to participate and the books themselves were concerned with the work of the Salvation Army in the slums. Brangwyn also agreed to design the cover for William Bolitho’s book, Cancer of Empire, a social diatribe about living conditions in Glasgow. Other examples of charity: designs for the National Institute for the Blind were a gift, the profits from Land of my Fathers – A Welsh Gift Book went to the National Fund for Welsh Troops, royalties from Belgium went to the Belgian Relief Fund, the cover for Launch, A Lifeboat Book was a gift and the Queen’s Book of the Red Cross was sold in aid of the Lord Mayor of London’s fund for the Red Cross and the Order of St John of Jerusalem.

As Brangwyn grew older his superstitious religious outlook dominated and he produced over 60 illustrations for a Life of St Francis (unpublished) and a number of small etchings for a Book of Job. The following is a still incomplete list of books illustrated wholly or partly by Brangwyn.  If you can fill in some of the missing details or have any books not on the list do let me know!  The books are listed in date order.
