Wood Engraving Wednesday

JIM HORTON

Here is a progression of engravings from Ann Arbor, Michigan, wood engraver and letterpress printer Jim Horton's edition of Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll. These engravings illustrate each stanza of Carroll's nonsense poem. This little book was printed on Wausau Royal fiber paper with handset Virile Open and Tell Text No. 5, and Horton's original wood engravings at his Ann Arbor studio, End-Gravure Graphics, in 1998. Horton is the founder of the Wood Engravers' Network. Our copy of Jabberwocky another donation from the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick.

Tired: Dr. Phineas Horton was (((a money-grubbing amoral scientist))) who didn't care about Jim Hammond at all and only saw him and his other creations as a cash-grab Wired: Dr. Phineas Horton was a complicated Jewish scientist struggling to make his mark in a field that discriminated against him, when he created an actual living breathing creature he (understandibly) did not know how to react but he tried his best to try and at least teach Jim how to be a functioning member of society, and when that failed, he still!! tried to keep Jim out of the wrong hands. He didn't see Jim fully as a son not because he was a horrible person but because he was understanding Jim out of the cultural lens of a Golem, not Pinocchio, because Horton was a Jew, not a Christian puppetmaker. He never set out to create a son, so how can you expect him to treat Jim as one? He set out to create a scientific breakthrough in the 1930s.......and when his genius wasn't recognized by the greater society because he was a Jew in the 1930s, he had to turn to hawking his very incredible science like it was a sideshow act. This doesn't make him "money-grubbing".

You can't call him a terrible person for not being the father figure Jim yearned for because he never set out to create a son, he set out to create a Golem. Jim being fully sentient was an accident. You don't have to love Dr. Horton, he is a complicated character for a reason, in the same way Dr. Frankenstein is, but don't think I don't see the antisemitic language you gleefully use about him.

Phil is a reporter, and a damn good one at that... and he often winds up being in the right place at the right time, and see we get to see the unveiling of the Human Torch from the other side... and all the fear on the crowd as the watching the flaming man in the tube start to move.

Wake Pinocchio! Skip and run! Good Geppetto needs a son! Pinocchio, my artificial man. Fruit of my labors. I made you. You are mine. No one else's. Yet I don't know what to do with you. How to fix you.

"A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea. If he tries to climb out into the air as inexperienced people endeavor to do, he drowns...The way is to the destructive element submit yourself, and with the exertions of your hands and feet in the water make the deep, deep sea keep you up...In the destructive element immerse."

~ Joseph Conrad, 'Lord Jim'

We are walked through the early creation of the Human Torch, and the ties to Frankenstein are very apt... so the quote in the last post was a good choice.
