Thus, they are torn between promises of unrestrained mobility and looming poverty, their precarity only amplified by the global crisis caused by COVID-19. The majority of projectarians do not own much beyond their own capacity to circulate. By using the term ‘projectariat’, the book detours the classical Marxist concept to talk about the life and work of artistic freelancers – artists, curators, critics, academics, writers, technicians and assistants – who, in order to survive, have no choice but to make one project after another and many at the same time. The book addresses – in 66 accessible entries – the global circulation of contemporary art in the moment of its fundamental crisis. This chapter delineates the historiography of ‘An Illustrated Comic Alphabet’ and argues that while ‘An Illustrated Comic Alphabet’ has been viewed as a precursor to the more accomplished work of Kate Greenaway, it is better understood and appreciated as an innovative variation on illustrated versions of the rhyme ‘A is an Archer’, which first appeared in print in 1702. In 2017, it was featured in an exhibition about alphabet books at the University of British Columbia, ‘From Apple Pies to Astronauts’. The librarians there determined that Howard-Gibbon’s manuscript was the earliest known Canadian picture book, and it continues to be prized today.

Howard-Gibbon, a young British woman, was working as an art teacher in the small town of Sarnia in Canada West when she created her manuscript. Decorated letters of the alphabet in red ink embellish each page, along with rustic branch borders. This is a great website with lots of resources.In Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon’s charming and deceptively simple pen drawings for her 1859 manuscript ‘An Illustrated Comic Alphabet’, small children dressed in adults’ clothing role-play pastimes and occupations set out in her hand-lettered text – the traditional rhyme ‘A is an Archer’, also known as ‘Tom Thumb’s Alphabet’.
