The British Art of Illustration 1837-2011, November 2011 - January 2012, cat. no.283Literature:Brian Stewart, The Rupert Bear Dossier, London, Hawk Books, 1997, p.13Illustrated:Daily Express, 1922, Rupert Goes to School, no.22Mary Tourtel, Rupert Little Bear's Adventures, London, Sampson Low, Marston & Co, 1924The longest-running children’s comic character in the world, Rupert the Bear has been an emblem for our collective childhood for more than a century. Throughout his long life, Rupert has appeared in several guises and has been under the stewardship of several hands.Rupert was born in 1920 when The Daily Express sought to commission a comic strip to rival Teddy Tail and Pip, Squeak and Wilfred, the flagship comics of The Daily Mail and The Daily Mirror, respectively. Herbert Tourtel, the news editor of the Express at the time, was tasked with leading the project. Mr Tourtel, unlike his colleagues, had a secret weapon – his wife, Mary, who was already an established illustrator and author. Capitalising on the popularity of ‘dancing’ bears in travelling circuses and the growing demand for Steiff bears, Mary and Herbert decided that their character would be a small, anthropomorphised bear.Rupert was introduced to readers in the November 8th, 1920, edition of the Express. At this time, Rupert was rather more ursine, with umber fur and a striding gait, however, rising ink costs soon dictated that Rupert was to have white fur. Mary enjoyed a successful tenure as Rupert’s custodian for fifteen years, until 1935 when her eyesight began to deteriorate. Alfred Bestall was brought in as Mary’s successor, but, out of respect for her, Bestall did not sign his works until after Mary’s death in 1948. After thirty years of illustrating Rupert and his Nutwood friends, Bestall retired from illustration and was succeeded by, amongst others John Harrold and, current illustrator, Stuart Trotter.
