William Cubitt Cooke ( 1866-1951) British
"Syrens on the wavecrests" 1904
Cooke was the illustrator of a groundbreaking 10-volume Austen edition by J. M. Dent, published in 1892.
The Dent edition features thirty illustrations, the largest number produced by one Austen artist to that date. Cooke designed three plates per volume, because the four longer Austen novels were split into two volumes each.
After Cooke, no single illustrator could count on his (and most were male) potential power to shape readers’ experiences of reading Austen’s fiction through his designs. Cooke’s images were safe ones, extending, rather than deviating from, previous trends in Austen illustration.

CALIFORNIA is known for doing things its own way. This is certainly true of environmental policy. In 2005, Arnold Schwarzenegger, California’s governor, asked for yet another waiver from federal rules, so that California could impose higher standards on carbon-dioxide emission by cars. Two years later, the federal government said no. Environmentalists loudly complained at the Bush administration’s lack of respect for the environment. On Monday January 26th Barack Obama announced that he would reverse the decision as one of his first acts in office. The waiver has not been granted officially but almost certainly will be, after a review.

Barnes did so much, more than he was capable of knowing. We can know how much only if his orchestrations are taken apart and rearranged ever so slightly and briefly, once in a while. It is great that Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, the architects, adhered to his vision so sensitively, providing a kind of unwaveringly accurate baseline. But every so often the pieces of even his most revelatory ensembles should be freed from his matrix, just as his amazing achievement has been liberated from Merion.
