John Theodore Eardley Kenney (1911–1972) a known British artist & illustrator who also worked on several of Reverend Wilbert Awdry’s The Railway Series books between 1957 to 1962. He was born before WW1 in 1911. Kenney began his art studies at the Leicester College of Art, the same school that produced Clarence Reginald Dalby, the first illustrator of the Railway Series. Upon graduation he was employed by J.E. Slater, a firm of commercial artists based in Leicester. Kenney joined the army & served with the 44th Searchlight Regiment also 121st Light Anti-Aircraft Regiment during World War 11. He landed in Normandy on D-Day. He was not officially a war artist though he did record scenes he witnessed in a number of impromptu drawings. He continued to draw what he saw as his regiment swept across Europe with the rest of the Allied contingent. After the war, he returned to Leicester, resuming his work at J.E. Slater. During this time he met his future wife, Peggy. In 1957 Kenney quit his position, choosing to pursue his dream & work as a full-time freelance artist. As a full-time artist, Kenney became mentor to Neil Cawthorne.Neil is a well known equestrian artist, painting official pictures for the Grand National steeple chase, and the Prince of Wales, playing polo. Neil started the Society of Equestrian Artists.
Awdry's choice of Kenney as a replacement for Dalby has been considered a fortuitous one. Kenney brought a lightness of touch and a naturalism to the illustrations that had been previously lacking. In the first book illustrated by Kenney, The Eight Famous Engines, Kenney's superb draftsmanship and his attention to detail are already obvious. Kenney's last illustrations in the Railway Series were for 1962's Gallant Old Engine. By that time his eyesight was failing and he was unable to handle the fine details required for the series' illustrations. He was replaced by Peter and Gunvor Edwards as illustrator for the Railway Series. Before his retirement, Kenney also illustrated 31 children's books for the Leicester publisher Ladybird Books, including a series on important British historical figures, like Charles Dickens, Florence Nightingale, also Queen Elizabeth 1, as well as a 1956 book of motor vehicle characters that has an affinity with the Awdry books he was soon to work on. He also provided art for the Hunter Hawk, Skyway Detective series. The artist John T. Kenney died in 1972 at the age of 61. His works have been exhibited at galleries & auction houses around the world. The highest sold price was $10,710 US dollars which was for the painting the Steeplechase.
The Fernie hunt was originally founded in 1853, when Sir Richard Sutton, finding the Quorn country too large encouraged his son Richard to hunt an independent pack in South Leicestershire. When Sir Richard died in 1856 his son retired and the offer of local squire William Tailby to hunt the country on an independent basis was gratefully accepted by farmers and landowners. For a time, he was also able to hunt much of the present Cottesmore country, west of Oakham. The Fernie is the only one of the five Leicestershire hunts to be contained entirely within the county and can trace its history back to 1853 when the Billesdon County was separated from the rest of the Quorn hunt. When Sir Richard died in 1856 his son retired and the offer of local squire William Tailby to hunt the country on an independent basis was gratefully accepted by farmers and landowners. For a time, he was also able to hunt much of the present Cottesmore country, west of Oakham.
