New exhibition at the Museum of Picture Book Art in GMBB features a remarkable collection of classic Malaysian publications from the 1930s to 2000s.
KUALA LUMPUR: Do you know the name Nora Hamerton? She was a British children’s book illustrator who lived in Klang in the 1930s.
“Since we started the museum in 2021, we have been collecting old books – some purchased from antiquarians, some donated,” she said. “So there is great significance to such works, and people are intrigued by the older works,” she noted. Among the highlights are the works of British artist Nora Hamerton, who married her estate manager husband at the St Barnabas Church in Klang and continued living there.
Besides Hamerton’s beautiful illustrations, the “Book of Malayan Nursery Rhymes” comes with a rich history of its own. Hamilton, a British policeman based in Malaya, undertook the incredible task of translating close to 100 English children’s rhymes into Malay. As Lingard – who is the president of the Malaysian Children’s Book Association – explained, organisations such as the United Nations encouraged Malaysian authors and illustrators to partner with local libraries to produce more work, some of which were brought to overseas markets.
