Bunny and Brownie: The Adventures

of George and Wiggle (1930)

 

Illustrated by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite

 

 

 

Bunny and Brownie: The Adventures of George and Wiggle was published in 1930

by A & C Black, Ltd (London).

 

The tale was written and illustrated by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite and recounts the

whimsical Easter-related tale of Fairies and bunnies. Stylistically, the illustrations appear

to be a significant departure from Outhwaite's antipodean themes and a more

European setting seems to have been adopted for the illustrations.

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates -

in hommage to the hand-crafted approach typical of prestige illustrated publications

produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is hand-finished and

the images are presented on Ivory card stock (in the case of colour illustrations) and

White card stock (in the case of monotone images) with an accompanying envelope.

The rear of each card carries information about Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, this

wonderful suite and the profiled illustration - we have left the interior of the cards

blank so that you may write your own personal message.

 

Should you wish to order a reproduction print of one or more of these images,

we have provided some options below. Each of our Fine Art Posters is prepared

with archival quality papers and inks - and also accompanied by information about

Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, this suite and the profiled illustration.

 

To purchase, simply click on the appropriate "Add to Cart" button and you will be

taken through to our Shopping Cart secured through PayPal. Multiple purchases will

be consolidated by that feature and shipping and handling costs to any destination

in the world are accommodated by our flat-rate fee of US$20 for every US$200
