  (Bewick, Thomas) Tattersfield, Nigel THOMAS BEWICK, THE COMPLETE ILLUSTRATIVE WORK
3 volumes. New Castle, Delaware and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2011 7.5 x 10.75 inches Hardcover, slipcase 1580 pages
Thomas Bewick can be called one of the best English exponents of wood engraving. Born in 1753, he grew up on a small farm, where his chores came second to his interest in the countryside, fishing, and watching birds and animals. These early passions set the stage for his future endeavors.

His early work of cutting soft wood for woodcuts eventually turned into fine detailed designs into hard wood. Beginning in the late 1700s onwards, Thomas illustrated many children's books with one of his most famous books, The History of British Birds. The book contained bird engravings and wood cuts and was an immediate success. Other major publications that helped solidify Bewick's success include The Chillingham Bull, Waiting for Death, A General History of Quadrupeds, and The Fables of Aesop and Others.

Bewick's celebrated histories of quadrupeds and birds of 1790, 1797, and 1804 have obscured the immense number of other books of all denominations illustrated in his modest workshop. From its inception in 1765 until its demise in 1849, the workshop provided illustrations to books, pamphlets, periodicals, and newspapers. The range of illustrations encompassed natural histories, children's storybooks, cookery books, religious tracts, spelling books, mathematical treatises, Bibles, agricultural manuals, local town and county histories, joke books, and even a book of sermons.

Generously illustrated and arranged alphabetically, this book details some 750 titles, over 450 of which are unrecorded in earlier bibliographies. In addition it provides sections on newspaper mastheads, book cover designs, copy-book covers, maps, and large single prints. Whether appealing to the Bewick aficionado, book historian, art historian, provincial printing enthusiast, or admirer of engraving on wood or copper, this will be an indispensable work.

Nigel Tattersfield is the author of Bookplates by Beilby and Bewick, published by Oak Knoll Press and The British Library and John Bewick: Engraver on Wood, published by Oak Knoll Press.

Available outside North and South America from The British Library.

  (Bird & Bull Press) Bregman, Alvan EMBLEMATA
The Emblem Books of Andrea Alciato. A Leaf Book with Eight New Emblems by Henricus de Nova Villa Newtown, PA Bird & Bull Press 2007 8vo. quarter morocco, Japanese cloth sides, cloth slipcase, leather spine label, paper label bearing emblem on top board (vi), 128, (14) pages plus leaf
One of 124 bound thus, of 140 copies, with an original leaf. The original leaves included are taken from the 1589 Paris edition of the Alciato emblem book. From the prospectus: "During the late Renaissance, the most famous professor of law in all of Europe was Andrea Alciato (1492-1550) of Milan. ...Almost accidentally, he was responsible for creating a whole new genre of publication consisting of text and image, known as the emblem book. Alciato's emblems were built upon the Latin epigrams he liked to write as a learned pastime. ...Surprisingly, however, there are few books in English devoted to Alciato or to his emblems. No separate overview of Alciato's life and writing is known. In addition to the history of the emblem books, the author provides much personal information that illuminates the character and personality of Alciato. Alvan Bergman has written an illustrated text on the subject usually directed to scholarly specialist, but he has done so in a way that is engaging and informative to the non-specialist reader. " The eight contemporary emblems are illustrated by Wesley Bates's wood engravings are included as an Appendix.

  (Bird & Bull Press) Morris, Henry THE ART OF INTAGLIO. PRODUCED ON A LETTERPRESS WITH A COLLECTION OF TWELVE PRINTS OF 18TH CENTURY LONDON TRADESMEN'S CARDS with SCHLOCKER & THE FISHES.
Newtown, PA Bird & Bull Press 2010 8vo. quarter Morocco and Japanese cloth, slipcase 33, 12 plates, 12 pages
Limited to 115 numbered copies. Engravings and etchings (intaglios) are printed on special presses which exert the far greater pressure needed for this kind of printing.

"I had been told that intaglio could not be printed satisfactorily on a letterpress, which is generally true. But in 2009 I tried my hand, printing two intaglio plates successfully by letterpress, albeit not very large ones. In this new book I have printed by letterpress, twelve intaglio plates, some as large as 5" x 6.5".

These images were made from Ambrose Heal's privately published 1925 London Tradesmen's Cards of the Eighteenth Century, which showed 101 collotype prints of old engravings advertising the wares, goods and services offered about 250 years ago. I have been attracted to these "cards"-they are really papers of differing sizes-ever since I got Heal's book fifteen years ago. Thanks to my recent introduction to intaglio, I have returned twelve of these prints to their original 18th century state: you can run your finger over the print and feel the image. Students and collectors of ephemera are acquainted with these cards, but for those who are not, some of Heal's comments may enlighten:

...To anyone with a liking for old things the Trade Card must make an irresistible appeal. It is so convincingly of its own time.
...The old signs that hung over the ship doors and are reproduced on the Traders' Cards are of great antiquity and interest. The names of the old streets, many of which have long since been swept away, such as 'Knaves' Acre,' 'Rosemary Lane,' 'Wendegaynlane,' take one's imagination quite apart from their historical or topographical connections.
...The lettering is invariably well drawn and well spaced and the designing of the devices, if sometimes crude, is always direct and interesting.
They reflect the art of the engraver through two centuries.

A foeword and texts on the Origin of Intaglio, The Process, and background information on Heal and his book, precede the twelve engravings.

But wait-There's More!
On an entirely unrelated subject, a 16-page addition relates an unforgettable event in the early life of Henry Morris, entitled Schlocker & The Fishes, thus making this book my first dos-a-dos binding. This brief account is illustraded with two full-page wood engravings by Wesley Bates. Such accounts generally become booklets but I dislike the impermanence of the booklet, and have long wanted to see this in print."
