Title: Picturing history: Bela Petheo, Artist of The Rise of the West

URL: https://library.osu.edu/projects/bela-petheo/

Description: William McNeill's The Rise of the West is one of the most important books written on the subject of world history. When it was published in 1963, reviewers hailed the book for the new paradigm it advocated—that civilizations did not develop in isolation but grew as a result of contact with other civilizations and the exchange of ideas and techniques that resulted—and in 1964 McNeill was awarded the National Book Award. As part of the preparation of the book, McNeill commissioned the Hungarian-born artist Bela Petheo to design and draw a series of illustrations to accompany the text. McNeill and Petheo collaborated closely on the design of the illustrations, McNeill's active role in the visual design demonstrating the value he placed on these images. While McNeill's book has been long admired, Petheo’s images have been largely forgotten. Petheo’s illustrations convey historical information through word, symbol, gesture and spatial arrangement. Nearly every mark Petheo committed to paper, every gradation of shading, every arrangement of symbols and figures carries information, information necessary to establish the narrative structure of the whole. This 2008 digital exhibits shed new light on these illustrations.

Title: Henry Bellingham's Book - Rare Books and Manuscripts

URL: https://library.osu.edu/projects/bellingham-manuscript/

Description: This website allows you to explore the seventeenth-century English manuscript, Henry Bellingham's Book. The book represents the work of several authors engaging with many subjects, such as political philosophy and science. Although you cannot read it for insights into the mind of Sir Henry Bellingham (its first owner), you can read it for evidence of the "spirit of the times," intellectual life, the circulation of ideas, and the interaction of manuscript and printed texts in the mid-seventeenth century. Henry Bellingham's Book is a digital project of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Library at the Ohio State University. It provides access to the digitized manuscript pages of the commonplace book, as well as supplementary materials to aid the user's exploration of its contents.
