History

The Hamilton King Award was established in 1965 by Mrs. Hamilton King in memory of her husband through a bequest and is presented annually for the best illustration in the annual exhibition executed by a member of the Society of Illustrators.[1]

Hamilton King (1871–1941)[2] was a prominent illustrator who worked in the late 1800s and early 1900s.[3] King illustrated the "Coca-Cola girls" for calendars from 1910 to 1913. The Coca-Cola calendar work was considered significant because the artist's signature appeared in all printed matter for Coca-Cola, including serving trays.[4]

King became well known for his "Hamilton King Girls", significantly working on behalf of Turkish Trophies Cigarettes. A majority of this collection is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art.[5] Additional collections of the artist are held by the Smithsonian Institution.[6]

Recipients
gollark: Primarily that some things won't be happy with it because nobody does it. Other than that:- servers may allocate limited-sized buffers for incoming request headers so you can't put too much in them (this is somewhat problematic for cookies)- headers have character set limits while bodies can be arbitrary bytes- request bodies are generated by forms and all sane clients so stuff is mostly designed to deal with those- request bodies can probably be handled more performantly because of stuff like the length field on them
gollark: In HTTP, you mean?
gollark: For some arbitrary reason I forgot.
