Introduction
The following bibliography of published material featuring the artwork of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite was compiled from a variety of sources, including M. Muir, A Bibliography of Australian Children's Books (Andre Deutsch, London, 1970), I.F. McLaren's Whitcombe's Story Books - A Trans-Tasman Survey (University of Melbourne Library, 1984), M. Muir and R. Holden, The Fairy World of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite (Craftsman House, Sydney, 1985, 171p), various bookseller listings available on the internet and disparate sources such as eBay and an anonymous collector of Outhwaite material (refer Acknowledgements below). For example, during March 2007 an early circa 1907 postcard featuring a coloured drawing by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite of two Koalas on a tree was offered for sale on eBay and subsequently sold for $660Aus - it had not previously been noted in any of the aforementioned bibliographic sources.
This web site is a brief, descriptive bibliography and individual references have been abbreviated to aid in comprehension. It contains over 430 entries, ranging from minor illustrations issued singularly or in association with verse or music, through to postcards, glossy magazine covers and substantive monographs. Minor biographical notes are included within the bibliography and indicated with an asterisk [ * ]. Where publications with identical titles have been reprinted, such is indicated, though these may comprise entirely new editions, or a new or updated suite of illustrations. The artist used various names throughout her career, including Ida Sherbourne Rentoul, Ida Sherbourne Outhwaite and Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, and signed her artworks accordingly, both with her initials (e.g. I.S.R., I.S.R.O or I.R.O) or in full.
Throughout this bibliography square brackets are used thus [....] to provide information where none is available from the individual publication. For example, many of the books and pamphlets from the first half of the twentieth century do not include a date or place of publication, therefore indicative guesses are included based on library acquisition records, contemporary reviews and the like. A similar problem arises in identifying the various editions and/or reprints of works. For more precise bibliographic information researchers are referred to the catalogues of the major Australian libraries and to the aforementioned texts, though all are limited in some way in their scope, e.g. library catalogues generally do not reference magazine articles or ephemera. Muir & Holden (1985) is the most comprehensive publication to date dealing with the artist's output and the circumstances surrounding the many publications she was associated with during her lifetime.
Acknowledgements
In the compilation of this listing I would like to acknowledge the use of sources such as the work of Marcie Muir and Robert Holdent (listed in the bibliogrpahy below), various library catalogues such as those of the State Library of New South Wales and the Victorian State Library, plus correspondents such as Anthony, an anonymous collector of Ida Rentoul Outhwaite's work who has been generous in adding material to this list. Thank you all.
