ILLUSTRATING THE GOOD LIFE: THE PISSARROS' ERAGNY PRESS, 1894-1914
Beckwith, Alice H.R.H.
Preface by Alan Fern
This is a catalogue of books, prints, and drawings related to the work of the Lucien Pissarro of the Eragny Press. Pissarro was a pioneer of private press printing in England, whose work had a pastoral, French feeling that came across through his unique use of color, wood engraving, and colored title page borders. Pissarro often used smaller trim-size for his volumes, while also printing on smooth, less-bulky paper.
This publication explores the beauty and harmony of his prints, his use of tools and techniques, his love songs and poetry, and the Eragny Press influence on the United States. It is beautifully and subtly designed to evoke the press's characteristic style and use of color. It includes 39 illustrations with 28 in color. The catalogue was the winner of a 2008 Katharine Kyes Leab & Daniel J. Leab American Book Prices Current Exhibition Catalogue Award.
