Abstract:
The Margaret and Florence Hoopes papers (1894-1953) is primarily composed of the correspondence of American illustrators, Margaret and Florence Hoopes. The sisters illustrated a number of publications, but are most well-known for their watercolor work on the "Alice and Jerry" Basal reader books from the mid 20th century. Most of the correspondence is from a number of publishers, including Row, Peterson, and Co. which published the "Alice and Jerry" books. The collection also contains a number of illustrations from early-reader books including the "Wonder-story series", as well as story boards from other works. There are some notes and source materials for illustrations as well.
