Wood Engraving Wednesday
JOHN LAWRENCE
Once again we turn to the fanciful engravings of English illustrator and wood engraver John Lawrence (b. 1933), this time from a small (4.25" x 3") 1992 Folio Society edition of Robert Browning's version of The Pied Piper of Hamelin, printed at The Bath Press in Bath, England on Fabriano Ingres laid paper. The engravings themselves are only 3" x 2", but they are vivid and richly detailed.
John Lawrence, whose career spans nearly 70 years, is one of England's most-respected living wood engravers. He has illustrated well over 200 books and has taught his craft at the Brighton School of Art, Camberwell School of Art, and Cambridge School of Art from the 1960s to 2010. He has influenced generations of noted contemporary wood engravers, and was himself a student of Gertrude Hermes (view some wood engravings by Hermes we have posted).
Our copy of the Folio Society's Pied Piper is yet another donation from the estate of our late friend and colleague Dennis Bayuzick. The book was originally bound in full moire silk by Hunter and Foulis, but our copy was specially rebound in 2001 by English bookbinder Stephen Conway (see below).

Now that I have finished watching "Grimm Variations" on netflix, allow me to express my opinion of each chapter with these brief words:
1) Cinderella: Oh! So good! This is looking awesome! 😀
2) Little Red Riding Hood: OH MY GOD! NOO! STOP! OH MY GOD! 😨😱
3) Hansel & Gretel: Please don't smoke funny weed during working hours. Thank you. 😑
4) The Elves and the Shoemaker: Not bad, I like this adaptation. 🤔
5) The Town Musicians of Bremen: GO! GO! LESBIANS! 😁
6) Pied Piper of Hamelin: Please don't smoke funny weed or consume substances of questionable origin during working hours. Thank you very much x2. 😑🤦🏻♀️

Im not as hyperfixated on EAH as I was last month(Wonderland has taken my brain hostage again) BUT anytime I listen to the Stick It to the Man from the School of Rock musical, I always think of Pied Piper
Like I know he’s portrayed with a British accent and he overall seems really proper and classical but like Melody in her diary called him a rebel at heart like her and in Class of Classics, says that he likes classic rock so it just like
Headmaster Grimm finally let’s him teach rock music in his class and it ends with everyone having some tasteful disrespect against authority

"The Pied Piper of Hamelin", by Robert Browning.
"And, Pleas, your honours, said he, I'm able,
By means of a secret charm, to draw
All creatures living beneath the sun,
That creep, or swim, or fly, or run,
After me so as you never saw!
And I chiefly use my charm
On creatures that do people harm,
The mole, and toad, and newt, and viper;
And people call me the Pied Piper.",
from The Pied Piper of Hamelin.
"When, lo, as they reached the mountain's side,
A wondrous portal opened wide,
A if a cavern was suddenly hollowed;
And the Piper advanced and the children follow'd,
And when all were in to the very last,
The door in the mountain side shut fast.",
from The Pied Piper of Hamelin.

Do you guys think that the butterfly miraculous was ever used by a “fairy godmother”?
Like, we know in canon that the Pied Piper of Hamelin was a fox holder, so was Cinderellas fairy godmother a butterfly holder?
Also, I personally think that the whole “Pied Piper” story was the fox holder and mouse holder playing a prank on the town

Krysar is a German expressionist stop motion Pied Piper and it is as uncomfortable and unsettling as that sounds. Punches are pulled but the whole affair is pretty dark.

1284-Pied Piper of Hamelin
It is rendered in the following form in an inscription on a house known as Rattenfängerhaus (English: "Rat Catcher's House" or Pied Piper's House) in Hamelin:[16]
anno 1284 am dage johannis et pauli war der 26. juni dorch einen piper mit allerley farve bekledet gewesen cxxx kinder verledet binnen hameln geboren to calvarie bi den koppen verloren
(In the year 1284 on the day of [Saints] John and Paul on 26 June 130 children born in Hamelin were misled by a piper clothed in many colours to Calvary near the Koppen, [and] lost)
According to author Fanny Rostek-Lühmann this is the oldest surviving account. Koppen (High German Kuppe, meaning a knoll or domed hill) seems to be a reference to one of several hills surrounding Hamelin. Which of them was intended by the manuscript's author remains uncertain.[21]

Happy pride month!
Legend of Rattengott’s cast are confirmed to be lgbt!
Laura: Bisexual. Used to have a husband but left her after their daughter is confirmed to be deaf. Might get a GF in the future❤️
Piper: Genderfluid(go by she/they) and a future lesbian. Might discovered her sexuality when she turn 12.
Rattengott: Non-binary(go by any pronouns) and demisexual demiromantic pan. He isn’t picky with pronouns and was fine with people choosing pronouns for him. Also not picky with people of any gender.
