Today I was given the opportunity to look at the Annancy Stories by Pamela Colman Smith. I was more than surprised when looking through this book. A lot of the illustrations caught my attention immediately and some so much that I just stared at the photo for an arguably long time. It was obvious that the person that wrote the stories was just as much invested as the person illustrating the images… and in this case it was the same person. Pamela Colman Smith both wrote and illustrated the Annancy Stories and the beautiful stories accompanied by illustrations created of equal passion. This piece of work is Jamaican Folklore, with already a unique genre, Pamela Colman Smith aids in the uniqueness of her work caricature-like illustrations which are not commonly seen in the Victorian Era. Specifically, to note about the caricature-like illustrations; Pamela Colman Smith derives the Anansi Jamaican Trickster Folklore Figure and implements it in her collection of stories in the Annancy Stories. With the use of her talent to set her work apart from others and her clear passion for Jamaican Folklore was just an unbeatable combination with perfect execution in the piece that I have looked at today.
