About Me
- Thomas Haller Buchanan
- My name is Thom Buchanan. I'm an artist and photographer. People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years. I refer to myself as a pictorialist, as I don't limit myself in the process of how an image is made. Images are my life.

Very odd, but definitely compelling. Do you know anything about the artist or the story? The man seems like a Gulliver of sorts, but the other figures don't correspond. Is it a frontispiece for a number of tales?
Gulliveresque, yes, but I have no idea on any of that. This was a page in an old book of vintage drawings. It seems that the book's title is Katawampus, but I don't find it at the Internet Archive.
Can't find any info on the artist on the Net. Only that he seems to have illustrated a book called
Butterscotia or A Cheap Trip to Fairyland by Sir Edward Abbott Parry.

It's complete title is Katawampus: It's Treatment and Cure. It's available through Abe Books. I have no idea yet what the title means, but I am intrigued. http://www.abebooks.co.uk/Katawampus-Treatment-Cure-Honour-Judge-Edward/951858670/bd
The link takes you to the bibliographic listing and a picture of the frontispiece and title page.
You may not have thought you knew what to do with this single piece, but blogging it is a GREAT way of ensuring it's not lost to us
Thanks once again

And Norman, leaving that kind of comment is a great way of validating what I'm doing with this blog. I need to know that I'm not just wasting my time and everyone elses'.
Thanks!
Katawampus has always meant "askew" or "out of place" where I come from.
Fits the illustration just fine.
Thanks for the post!
