Homer (as translated by Alexander Pope) THE ILIAD AND ODYSSEY OF HOMER AS TRANSLATED BY ALEXANDER POPE, IN GREEK AND ENGLISH. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY STEVEN SHANKMAN AND 52 ORIGINAL COLOR DRAWINGS BY AVERY LAWRENCE .
2 volumes. Chestertown Chester River Press 2009 12.5 x 14.5 inches cloth, dust jackets, slipcase 550; 434 pages
Acclaimed by Samuel Johnson as "a performance which no age or nation could hope to equal," Alexander Pope's translation of the Iliad and Odyssey stands as one of the glories of English Literature.

The Chester River Press edition of the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer has been designed and printed to reflect the epic proportions of this famous translation and offers both the Greek and English translations for the general reader and scholar alike. More than 50 color drawings in Greek vase styles by Avery Lawrence were commissioned by the Press. Each drawing portrays a specific scene from each of the 48 books making up the Iliad and Odyssey with smaller medallions adorning pages throughout.

An original two-part Introduction by the esteemed Pope scholar, Steven Shankman, reflects on and investigates Pope's majestic poems through a scholarly lens focused on the timless Homeric themes of war and peace. Professor Shankman also elaborates on "How To Read Homer," an aid to understanding the philosophical and historical context of the Homeric epics.

The Iliad and Odyssey are presented as a companion, slipcased set and bound in black Dutch cloth with dust jackets.

Wolfe, Richard J. JACOB BIGELOW'S AMERICAN MEDICAL BOTANY, 1817-1821.
An Examination of the Origin, Printing, Binding and Distribution of America's First Color Plate Book, With Special Emphasis on the Manner of Making and Printing Its Colored Plates. New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2012 6 x 9 inches hardcover 128 pages
Second edition, limited to 260 copies.

Jacob Bigelow's American Medical Botany, published in three volumes between 1817 and 1821 and containing sixty colored plates, occupies a unique place in American book printing and book illustration. Of all the books published in the United States before the mid-nineteenth century introduction of chromolithography, it was the only one to have its plates mechanically printed in color, not colored by hand in the usual manner of the day.

Richard J. Wolfe's classic study of this seminal work, issued initially in 1979 and now reissued in a revised and augmented edition, has made use of Dr. Bigelow's previously unavailable manuscript papers and other previously unknown or little known records to come up with some startling conclusions. His investigations show that Dr. Bigelow's original plan was to have his plates colored by hand by artists. But this plan proved overly ambitious and the project faced failure. So, he and those working with him invented a method of printing the book's plates on stone in a simple manner that prefigured and predated chromolithography by about two decades, thus enabling him to bring his projected work to a successful conclusion. Wolfe's investigation of the origin, printing, binding, and distribution through subscription of this signal work also constitutes an important case study of the production, from conception to completion, of a significant book of that early period.

The 1979 edition of Wolfe's work went out of print quickly. As in that edition, this second edition contains, tipped in, two of Bigelow's original plates, one left uncolored and one colored by hand. These plates were rendered obsolete when the doctor and his cohorts discovered a novel way of printing them in color.
