Скачать или смотреть Denslow s Three Bears

Denslow’s Three Bears by William Wallace Denslow, professionally known as WW Denslow, is a revision of the well known Goldilocks and the Three Bears. It was part of a twelve book collection of fairytales that were revised to eliminate “all coarseness, cruelty, and everything that might frighten children.” In this rendition, breaking and entering and property destruction have been removed. Obviously, that was too coarse for Wallace to relay to children. And it had a selling point of 25 cents in normal binding or 50 cents if mounted on linen.

William Wallace Denslow (1856 - 1915) was an American illustrator who began his career as an editorial cartoonist, lithographist, and reporter. He would travel from one location to the next, lending his works to any newspapers that could use his talents: New York, Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco are just a few of the major cities that included his editorial cartoons in their daily prints. In 1893 during the World’s Columbian Exposition, he moved to Chicago and shifted the focus of his artistry to theater posters and bookplates. He also designed dozens of book covers for Rand McNally and hundreds of pictures for Montgomery Ward catalogs. While in Chicago, he made his most auspicious friendship with, L. Frank Baum. Baum and Denslow became collaborators on a number of children’s stories, the most famous of which was the Wizard of Oz. Baum and Denslow held joint copyright, considering each other co creators since Denslow imagined landscapes and characters not described in the story. Denslow stated, he had to “work out and invent characters, costumes, and a multitude of other details for which there is no data — and there never can be in original fairy tales.”

Though they were a collaborative success, the duo went their ways less than acrimoniously after a dispute over royalty shares for the Wizard of Oz musical. After their partnership dissolved in 1902, Denslow wrote a number of works including one of the first superhero characters, Billy Bounce.

Because he held joint rights to Wizard of Oz, Denslow earned a significant portion of royalties to allow him to buy Bluck’s Island in Bermuda. He built a turreted castle-like house and crowned himself, “King Denslow I, Monarch of Denslow Islands and Protector of Coral Reefs.” Please enjoy this retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears by the future King, Denslow the First. When looking at the pages, look for Denslow’s Totem, a tiny seahorse. He included it in nearly every one of his photos.
