Title: Edwina Dumm: Digital Exhibit

URL: http://cartoons.osu.edu/digital_exhibits/edwinadumm/

Description: This website contains the Edwina Dumm: Digital Exhibit and contains photographs and cartoons. For more than six decades, Edwina Frances Dumm worked as a professional cartoonist. Beginning as a political cartoonist on the staff of the Columbus Daily Monitor, Edwina paved the way as the first woman employed in a full time position as editorial cartoonist. She continued her work after she moved to New York City in the early 1920s with the creation of "Cap Stubbs and Tippie," "Alec the Great," and "Sinbad." Edwina's cartoons ran for almost fifty years under two syndication services and in magazines like Life and the London based Tatler. Her art was funny, heartwarming, inspirational, and a landmark in cartooning history.

Title: A. B. Walker's World

URL: https://cartoons.osu.edu/digital_exhibits/abwalker/

Description: Alanson Burton Walker was a very successful magazine cartoonist working at the beginning of the 20th century. His work was much in demand and he drew for all the important magazines of the time-Life, Harper's, Atlantic Monthly, Saturday Evening Post, Judge, and Collier's-where he created gentle, wry cartoons on issues of the day. Walker was born in Binghampton, New York on November 19, 1878, attended Buffalo Central High School, and later Rochester University from which he graduated in 1897. He spent the next four years taking classes at the Art Students League in New York, studying under Frank Vincent DuMond. His brother William H. Walker, also a cartoonist, became the chief editorial cartoonist for Life at the end of the 1890s. Both brothers lived and worked in Flushing, New York. Walker died of a heart attack while shoveling snow on January 22, 1947.

Title: Alternate Views: Perspectives on the American Civil War

URL: https://cartoons.osu.edu/digital_exhibits/alternateviews/

Description: The 150th anniversary on the American Civil War is commemorated in this exhibition, which highlights the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum’s growing collection of nineteenth century prints. Editorial cartoons were not published in newspapers until after the Civil War, when technology made it possible to publish them in a timely way economically. Prior to that, broadsheet prints -- etchings, engravings and lithographs -- were the means cartoonists used for political commentary. Popular magazines, such as Harper’s Weekly, relied on wood engravings to provide graphic content. The complexity of many of the works displayed here is striking. Intricate visual metaphors demand close reading in order to comprehend the meaning of the cartoon. These images were produced when the pace of life was much different. Prints such as these were intended to be read, reread, and then, perhaps, read again. When we step back in time to consider these images, their messages are clear, passions are heated, and a complex period in the history of the United States is revealed.

Title: The King James Bible Virtual Exhibit

URL: https://library.osu.edu/innovation-projects/omeka/exhibits/show/the-king-james-bible/

Description: The history of the Bible is a history of translation. Originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, the first 1000 years of the Christian era saw the Holy Scriptures translated into a multitude of languages as the new faith extended its spiritual, cultural, and political influence across the Mediterranean region and Europe. By the 11th century, the “official” languages of the Bible had been established. Eastern Christendom, centered in Constantinople, initially relied upon Greek Scriptures, but eventually complemented these ancient versions with more modern translations rendered in the newly-invented Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets that made the Bible available in a number of Slavic vernaculars. Western Christendom, in contrast, settled on Latin as its only “authorized” language, paying little heed to the host of regional tongues developing across what had formerly been the Western Roman Empire. Although Scriptural lore was adapted to and transmitted in a variety of vernacular forms in the medieval West, including paraphrases of particular biblical books in verse and prose, short commentaries, dramatic works, devotional treatises, and visual art, Latin remained the unchallenged language for the text of the Bible itself. This situation, however, began to change in the closing years of the Middle Ages as developing vernacular idioms across western Europe began to challenge the linguistic authority of Latin as the only legitimate biblical language. While these challenges took root in the late-14th and 15th centuries, it was not until the onset of the Protestant Reformation in the early-16th century that they truly began to flower, resulting in the production of biblical translations on an unprecedented scale. England, in particular, was a hot-bed of Bible translation, witnessing no fewer than eight separate translation and revision efforts undertaken between 1525 and 1582, all culminating in the publication of the Authorized Version, better known as the King James Bible, in 1611. By the early-17th century there was no going back; the English Bible was here to stay. In this special exhibition commemorating the 400th anniversary of the printing of this most influential of all English books, the Rare Books & Manuscripts Library of The Ohio State University Libraries opens a window onto its own collections to shed light on the pre-history of the King James Bible and its profound influence and abiding impact on the broad spiritual, literary, and cultural landscape of the English-speaking world. We invite you to explore the materials on display and discover for yourselves the truth behind the King James Bible translators’ words, “Translation… openeth the window, to let in the light.”
