In the previous post I referred to Willy Pog\u00e1ny’s versatility, and this book of poetry for children shows the degree to which he could adapt his illustrative style to suit the written material. When compared to his minimal drawings for Padraic Colum’s Grecian tales, his Dulac-like Rub\u00e1iy\u00e1t<\/em><\/a> and the elaborate designs for the Tale of Lohengrin<\/em><\/a> these illustrations could be the work of a different artist.<\/p>\n

A Treasury of Verse for Little Children<\/em><\/a> was compiled by Madalen Edgar, and published by Harrap in 1908. The illustrations and page layouts are close enough to the children’s books being produced at this time by Charles Robinson that I wonder whether the similarity was deliberate on Pog\u00e1ny’s part. The drawings stray too much into the twee zone for my taste but the book is worth looking through if only to see the ways in which he varied the hand-drawn title designs for each entry. Pog\u00e1ny’s next commission took another change of direction with an edition of Goethe’s Faust<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
