PAINTINGS FROM BOOKS, ART AND LITERATURE IN BRITAIN, 1760-1900.
Altick, Richard D.
First edition. An informative and richly illustrated study of British painting and literature, which reveals how the literary taste of the day was reflected, sometimes controversially, on the walls of London's annual art exhibitions. It contains a dozen chapters that constitute the narrative portion of the book, and is followed by Parts Two and Three which are comprised of a convenient guide to the art histories of each of Shakespeares plays and of the works of some thirty other authors. A finding-list of reproductions of literary paintings and a bibliography will help readers who are interested in learning more about this neglected subject. Illustrated and indexed.

MISCELLANY 2. A NEW COLLECTION OF WORK COMPLETED OR PROJE...
by Carter, Sebastian
Limited to 225 numbered copies of which this is one of the 20 lettered copies bound thus and with the Clare Melinsky and Simon Brett illustrations signed by the artists, and the printer's Swan House drawing coloured by hand and signed. A beautifully executed private press miscellany issued a decade after their initial Miscellany. It presents samples of completed, projected, and at times purely whimsical work by the press with a strong emphasis on experimental typography. Many items are printed in various colors on a variety of papers. Includes a check-list of the work of this press operated by Will and Sebastian Carter that supplements the list published in the first miscellany.
