Artists
Artists who have dedicated sections in the Collection are: Kate Greenaway, Joan Hassall, Clare Leighton, Enid Marx. But see also the online catalogue and ProQuest project for all work by artists, male and female.
Authors. There are separate sections for Jane Austen, Bronte Family, George Eliot, Hannah More (but see also Ballads), and The Sitwells. But see also the online catalogue (e.g. for Bookjackets which are catalogued but not digitised) and, especially the ProQuest project for Prospectuses of books and journals, playbills and programmes (including dramatisations of novels)
In the Johnson online catalogue, Browse the names index (better than searching as the Christian name may have different forms, or be represented only by an initial). Names are differentiated by diphs, e.g. [author], [criminal] which help you identify the correct person.
In the ProQuest project, use the Advanced Search screen (you can limit this to Booktrade, Entertainment, etc.) and limit your search results using the filters on the left. You can also do a simple search for uninverted names (e.g. Charlotte Bronte). This will search the full text as well as the catalogue records and will give you hit-highlighting within the record and image(s).
