Staff Pick of the Week
We recently transferred an early 1930s edition of Argentine-British writer William Henry Hudson's novel Green Mansions, published in New York by Three Sirens Press with illustrations by Keith Henderson, from the library's general collections to Special Collections. The story is convoluted and fantastical, about a wealthy Venezuelan revolutionary who flees into the Guyanese jungle (the Green Mansions of the title?), tenuously befriends a village of indigenous people, explores a sector of the forest that the villagers fear, and encounters a waif-like, "shy and mysterious girl with the melodious bird-like voice" who the villagers are convinced is the evil spirit-protector "Daughter of the Didi." Nevertheless, he continues to seek out the girl, whom he befriends and falls in love with, and eventually learns that she is the last member of her tribe. This ultimately leads, in a roundabout way, to a falling-out with the villagers and tragic consequences.
Originally published in 1904 to some acclaim, this exotic romance bears a palpable strain of ethnic superiority. The indigenous people are backwards, superstitious, and violent; the protagonist is European, thoughtful, and reasoned (and wealthy to boot); and Rima, the ethereal jungle girl, and her people were apparently based by Hudson on persistent rumors of a lost tribe of white people who lived in the mountains. Probably not a novel I will be reading any time soon, but I am quite taken by the drama in the black and white illustrations of Scottish artist and illustrator Keith Henderson (1883-1982).
Henderson created the novel's 35 illustrations for the trade and limited editions originally published by Duckworth & Co. in 1926. While there is no publishing date in this edition by Three Sirens Press, a publisher that specialized in high-quality reprints of classic texts illustrated by noted artists, there is some evidence that it was produced in 1932. I hope you enjoy these illustrations as much as I do.

Congrats to the ultimate winner of the Hot & Vintage Movie Men Tournament, Mr. Toshiro Mifune! May he live happily and well where the sun always shines, enjoying the glories of a battle hard fought.
Tumblr media
A loving farewell to all of our previous contestants, who are now banished to the shadow realm and all its dark joys and whispered horrors—I hear there's a picnic on the village green today. If you want to remember the fallen heroes, you can find them all beneath the cut.
What happens next? I'll be taking a break of two weeks to rest from this and prep for the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament. I'll still be around but only minimally, posting a few last odes to the hot men before transitioning into a little early ladies content, just like I did with this last tournament. The submission form for the Hot & Vintage Ladies tournament will remain up for one more week (closing February 21st), so get your submissions in for that asap! Once the form closes, there will be one more week of break. The first round of the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament will be posted on February 29th, as Leap Year Day seems like a fitting allusion to leaping into these ladies' arms.
Thanks for being here! Enjoy the two weeks off, and send me some great propaganda.

Film after film: The Cathedral (dir. Ricky D'Ambrose, 2021)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's extreme cleanliness to what this film looks like. It's a coming-of-age story, running through almost two decades of the protagonist's life, raised by loving yet troubled parents, and surrounded by multiple family members. There's a bunch of stories: painful, unresolvable, and sad, yet told in a way that is unsentimentally beautiful. Archival footage is used as effective time stamps.

So, you’re directing Shakespeare’s HENRY V, can you tell us a little bit more about the play and what inspired you to choose (and direct) it?
Yes, of course. It’s one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. People often think only of the famous speeches, but it is absolutely brilliant in its ambivalent construction. It’s wildly open to different interpretations. At the center of the play is the somewhat opaque but charismatic figure of King Henry. Very unusually for Shakespeare, it’s not until very late in the play that we get to find out what’s really going on with him. He decides to embark on a military campaign in France, and things get worse and worse, until something miraculous happens, which is the victory at Agincourt. And any good production of the play has to answer the question of what makes that miracle possible, and it has something to do with the relationship between this disparate group of individuals, and how they are brought into a unified whole. That felt like a relevant question in today’s fractured and anxious America.
