The Many Illustrators of A Tale of Two Cities 4: Curtiss Sprague

...& a guest book editor...

This week's is a special one. We'll dive right into this 1930 edition by first admiring all the silhouette art of its illustrator, Curtiss Sprague - but see if you notice something extra along the way:

And to highlight the last one for its marvelous misquote:

Alright, have you noticed it? There's more than just ink coloring some of these pages!

Yes, this week we're not just taking a look at this 1930 edition - we are taking a look at this particular copy of this 1930 edition, which features not just Sprague's beautiful work...

...but also the work of William*, a high school sophomore 92 years ago who clearly learned the lesson from my last post! *although perhaps not clearly enough because I personally can't tell for certain what his surname is by his signature😅

Besides his coloring in Sprague's silhouettes, there isn't a lot more of his work written throughout the book - he did make sure to take plenty of notes in the blank pages, though!

There is also this brief note (please comment if you can make out the word above the date!):

As well as this subtle substitution (whoever C.E.S. is...oof!):

William's work made searching through and scanning this particular book an absolute delight - it was a grounding and beautiful reminder that students have been idly writing in their schoolbooks for as long as school has existed.

Thank you, William!

& the standard endnote for all posts in this series:

This post is intended to act as the start of a forum on the given illustrator, so if anyone has anything to add - requests to see certain drawings in higher definition (since Tumblr compresses images), corrections to factual errors, sources for better-quality versions of the illustrations, further reading, fun facts, any questions, or just general commentary - simply do so on this post, be it in a comment/tags or the replies!💫

So no dating between the 3 of us?

"....." Pointedly p o i n t s at Sparkle. This time he has enough context to see exactly where this happens to be going!

"If this is about who I think it is, lemme tell you that no amount of Elation short of Aha in all of THEIR glory dropping down and smacking the rewind button in my head will make that happen."

"And I'd still fight that to the bitter end myself."

"All you'd get is literally any place you take us turning into a battlezone and a half. I just ain't happy in Tem's presence."

i was reading the exchange between u and homesick anon and i felt that same feeling so deeply too.

i’m in new york city for school and when i first came here, the adjustment was so difficult, mainly bc of how different the landscape was. nyc is a monstrous metropolis that constantly floods u with human noise, smell, and lights. there’s no reprieve from it. no place to just—get away and breathe. not even in central park.

there’s a beautiful silence to the pnw that’s impossible to explain. it is so hard to explain to my city friends why i just get overwhelmed and desperately homesick.

your blog has kept me sane; the pictures and videos of trees and ferns and the coast and rivers and roads had let me revisit childhood memories camping at cape disappointment and dream of future summer hikes on mount tahoma.

i really can’t thank you enough. 💚🤍💙

I relate so much, friend. In my first year of college in the Midwest, I immediately bonded with another fellow PNWer and we endured together in a high state of misery. We used to drag ourselves down to the Mississippi to this slight rise (perhaps 7 feet high?) overlooking that brown river and scraggly trees and we’d kinda just… try to pretend that bump of topography could remind us of mountains. I kinda still hate deciduous trees as a result (or at least majority deciduous landscapes).

There are plenty of people who don’t feel any particular attachment to where they’re from. It’s probably easier to be them, in a lot of ways. And there are people who can move to the PNW and be wretchedly homesick for places that make the rest of us depressed. They’re valid, of course, because “home” is an individual experience. But you’re lucky enough to be from one of the most beautiful places in the world and to love it at its true value. It’ll always be there for you. And everyone who’s from here or who has chosen it as their adopted home will understand what you’re feeling.

But, if you are open to hearing my one regret from my time away from the PNW… be as open as you can to finding out what locals love about where they’re from. Pretend you’re an anthropologist. Pretend you’re in a romance novel with an arranged marriage trope that starts with both parties hating each other and ends with lessons about learning to love. I’m not suggesting you’ll actually fall in love with NYC, but I do want to suggest that it’s never a waste of time to explore where you are as much as possible. At best, you’ll find some things to truly love that’ll help mediate the bad stuff. At worst, you’ll have amusing material for an entire “I hate NY” party when you move back home.

But no matter how far you roam or how long you’re kept away, home will always be here for you. Hang in there. And don’t hesitate to send a message if you’re feeling homesick 💙🌲💚

"All planets have a unique core that the equilibrium controls and Penacony is no different. If your mind and body are sound, you can probably feel it as well." She was feeling particularly chatty today, even in the mist of their little training session.

"The planet of festivites feels similar to an unanimous heartbeat or an army of soliders, perfectly in step. It's difficult to sway something so uniform."

A sound mind, a focused body, these two conditions held a higher frequency given the methods of how they come to spend today. Caelus practically held a natural affinity for keeping his focus tucked at vivaciously high scales if the time called for it. Even in this moment it found itself devoted to seeing how Yanfei just got sucked into her moments. It was a flame he always found himself appreciating.

Say what you will about her, but her devotion certainly makes her attuned with the world at large.

"Huh. Make senses. Considering the influence that makes a good guide for them." That attention once devoted to her face changes route, peering towards the dreamy earth beneath them. For the Trailblazer, it felt as if so much more could be perceived once Xipe's gaze decided that his journey was too good to pass up. Reality itself had a new layer to have everything perceived.

Something that goes a bit beyond the typical five senses, yet, it had a magical means of ensuring those five senses could be heightened to that very scale. "..Sounds more peaceful now days if you ask me. That cold beat it once had, it feels like that chill found itself being warded away." Glimmers of gold would outline his frame, similar to gentle shade of light as more sphere-like sparks hovered above, similar to the wonders of morning dew.

Given a few moments, something manages to strike him after his focus highlights that detail.

"No damn way.." Caelus murmurs as is foot begins to tap unconsciously. Each step timed, and by no means was it any product of the silence that surrounds them, oh no. There was a song that his found found itself hearing. It'd soon lead to a sway of the body, that invisible rhythm prompting him to sway closer to Yanfei. "..I picked up on a beat. A fun one. Yanfei, so many people are in a mood to dance deep down. A means to express!"

It'd be through Harmony that this tangible barrier finds itself exposed. In many ways, it feels appreciated that it is discovered. Whether she was prepared for it or not, Caelus would take his current knowledge and allow its influence to be brushed around the Emanator. Similar to changing a radio dial, the uniform would remain, except a whole new shade would be introduced. It was brimming with style, a natural ingenuity whipping free from all life.

As if he's drawing up some invisible headphones, Legwork's Hat would be pressed upon his head while a dashing smile settles on his lips. No amount of hesitation was carried to stare into those charming eyes of Yanfei.

"Here. Step into it with me." Wasn't it fascinating? How a little perspective could seamlessly draw out his potential?
