HOYTEMA'S THE UGLY DUCKLING.
ANDERSEN, HANS CHRISTIAN. 1805-1875. HOYTEMA, THEO VAN, illustrator. A collection of original artwork for Hoytema's 1893 illustrations for Het leelijke jonge eendje (The Ugly Duckling), including:
1. 11 color lithographed proof illustrations, including the frontispiece, signed lower right in pencil by the artist.
2. Double page color lithographed proof for the covers.
3. Two menu cards by Hoytema featuring original duck drawings in pen and pencil with red and brown watercolor wash.
4. Proof lithographs for the order form for Het Leelijke jonge Eendje, in three distinct states.
Van Hoytema (1863-1917) was the most significant Dutch designer and lithographer at the end of the nineteenth century. A founder of the Art Nouveau movement in the Netherlands, Van Hoytema's lithography is still considered the best work produced there, and his The Ugly Duckling one of his most important works. "The real break-through book for Hoytema, however, was Het leelijke jonge Eendje, Hans Christian Andersen's Ugly Duckling, of 1893, in which a balance between close observation and cloisonné-like stylization is fully achieved and the hand-written text is beautifully integrated with the drawn images" (Ackley, "A Hoytema Archive in Boston," Print Quarterly, 2011).
