The Imaginary Beasts of Royal Lacey Scoville
This special exhibition presents 38 whimsical watercolors that form an original narrative written and illustrated by Royal Lacey Scoville for his daughter Eleanore. Based on the style of Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll, and Peter Newell, Scoville tells the story of the Lazy Tom Tompkins and the wizard, Tumblebug, who casts a spell on Tom. Tompkins, startled from an afternoon nap, stares in horror at the gigantic snake with a multi-colored head and gaping mouth. Tom, under the spell cast by the wizard, cannot escape the snake's coils and joins the 35 other imaginary creatures ensnared by the snake.
