Summary Information

Collection Number: CLRC0150

Collection Size: .2 linear ft. (Manuscript and other material), 22.09 cubic feet (Illustrative material)

Abstract/Notes: Jack Kent wrote and illustrated about 40 children's books during his career, and illustrated nearly 20 books by other authors. Most of the Kent titles are represented in the Kerlan Collection, although few are represented by a complete set of production materials. The Kent contributions include studies and illustrations with pasteup text and separations, a limited correspondence, some dummies, notes, and a limited amount of research material. This is a collection of an artist's working files, and contains little ephemera or extraneous material.

Jack Kent was invited to contribute to the Kerlan Collection in 1971, and began with his contribution of The Fat Cat art and manuscript. He continued to support the collection throughout his life, and at his death, June Kent contributed the balance of her husband's production material files to the Kerlan. The collection includes materials for more than 70 titles, which includes some unpublished work, work for individual chapters of Happy Ever After, and other work that may have been done during his free-lance career. Materials include studies and illustrations with pasteup text and separations, many illustrator's dummies, some notes, correspondence and a few illustrator's proofs.
