In 1877, Ernest Nister took over a chromolithographic shop in Nuremburg, a center for toy making in the late nineteenth century. The company was at its height of production from 1890-1900 and at his death in 1909, the company had 800 employees with publishing houses in Nuremburg, London, and New York. Nister developed new ways of creating movable books such as the \"dissolving picture book\" technique based on the Venetian blind principle. He also developed new paper engineering techniques, some of which were patented. In addition, Nister perfected the use of three-dimensional, multi-layered scenes which he released as \"Panorama Picture Books.\" The company survived World War I but closed in 1927. Its archives (records and file copies) have never been found. (University of North Texas, History of Pop-Up and Movable Books website).
From Wikipedia, the free
Louis Wain (5 August 1860 – 4 July 1939) was an Englishartist best known for his drawings, which consistently featuredanthropomorphised large-eyedcats and kittens. In his later years he may have suffered fromschizophrenia (althoughthis claim is disputed), which, according to somepsychiatrists, can be seen in his works. Louis William Wain was born on 5 August 1860 inClerkenwell in London. His father was a textile trader and embroiderer; his mother was French.[2] He was the first of six children, and the only male child. None of his five sisters ever married. At the age of thirty, his youngest sister was certified asinsane, and admitted to an asylum. The remaining sisters lived with their mother for the duration of their lifetimes, as did Louis for the majority of his life. Wain was born with acleft lip and the doctor gave his parents the orders that he should not be sent to school or taught until he was ten years old. As a youth, he was often truant from school, and spent much of his childhood wandering around London. Following this period, Louis studied at the West London School of Art and eventually became a teacher there for a short period. At the age of 20, Wain was left to support his mother and his five sisters after his father\'s death. Wain soon quit his teaching position to become a freelance artist, and in this role he achieved substantial success. He specialized in drawing animals and country scenes, and worked for several journals including the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News, where he stayed for four years, and the Illustrated London News, beginning in 1886. Through the 1880s, Wain\'s work included detailed illustrations of English country houses and estates, along with livestock he was commissioned to draw at agricultural shows. His work at this time includes a wide variety of animals, and he maintained his ability to draw creatures of all kinds throughout his lifetime. At one point, he hoped to make a living by drawing dog portraits. At the age of 23, Wain married his sisters\' governess, Emily Richardson, who was ten years his senior (which was considered quite scandalous at the time), and moved with her toHampstead in north London. Emily soon began to suffer from breastcancer, and died three years into their marriage. Prior to Emily\'s death, Wain discovered the subject that would define his career. During her illness, Emily was comforted by their pet cat Peter, a stray black and white kitten they had rescued after hearing him mewing in the rain one night. Emily\'s spirits were greatly lifted by Peter, and Louis began to draw extensive sketches of him, which Emily strongly encouraged him to have published. She died before this happened, but he continued to make cat sketches. He later wrote of Peter, \"To him, properly, belongs the foundation of my career, the developments of my initial efforts, and the establishing of my work.\" Peter can be recognized in many of Wain\'s early published works.
