De Simone, Daniel (editor) SEVEN PERSPECTIVES OF THE WOODCUT: PRESENTATIONS FROM A HEAVENLY CRAFT SYMPOSIUM AND EXHIBITION
Washington Library of Congress 2008 7 x 10 inches paper wrappers 108 pages
Seven Perspectives on the Woodcut covers a wide range of issues related to bookmaking in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The analyses of the art of the woodcut presented here have their beginnings in the exhibition "A Heavenly Craft: The Woodcut in Early Printed Books," which opened at the Library of Congress in April 2005. The exhibition and its catalogue celebrated the large gift of illustrated books by Lessing J. Rosenwald, retired chairman of Sears, Roebuck & Company, to the library and examined the early history of printed books through some of the collection's rarest items. The Library of Congress also hosted a symposium in honor of the exhibition and Rosenwald's gift and invited scholars of art history and bibliography to contribute to a discussion of the woodcut in early printed books. Each chapter analyzes unique perspectives on the artistic development of the woodcut. Topics include the work of Albrecht Dürer, distinguished miniaturist Benedetto Bordon, early illustrated versions of Genesis, the illustrations for Bernhard von Breydenbach's Travels in the Holy Land, one of the earliest travelogues, and the history of early illustrated prayer books and devotional texts. Corresponding images of woodcuts as well as photographs of original woodblocks appear throughout the volume. Distributed for the Library of Congress.

(Doolittle, Amos) O'Brien, Donald C. AMOS DOOLITTLE: ENGRAVER OF THE NEW REPUBLIC
New Castle Oak Knoll Press and the American Historical Print Collectors Society 2008 8.5 x 11 inches cloth with dustjacket 192 pages
As a copperplate engraver, Amos Doolittle (1754-1832) played an important role during the American colonies' war for independence and the early years of the new nation. He completed his apprenticeship in New Haven, Connecticut, around 1770 and continued to work actively in that city for over sixty years. His first known attempts are the views of the battles of Lexington and Concord--four plates that he engraved, printed and published in 1775. Even today, Doolittle's first attempt, although crude in workmanship, continues to be often reproduced.
Doolittle did general engraving and printing throughout his career. Maps for atlases and illustrations for books became his specialty, but he also engraved maps and broadsides that were published separately. Scholars have identified more than 600 Doolittle engravings, both signed and unsigned. During the course of his career, one of Doolittle's major accounts was with Philadelphia publisher Mathew Carey (1760-1839). This book contains excerpts from correspondence between the two, never published before, which reveal much about business practices of the time.

This book was written to complement similar works on Doolittle's contemporaries, including Paul Revere. There are chapters on various types of his work, including his tune-books, maps, illustrations, bank notes and more. The book also includes two useful appendices, cataloguing books containing his engravings and references to him and his work. Co-published with the American Historical Print Collectors Society, Amos Doolittle is a valuable contribution to the study of American engravings.

(Esslemont, David) THE WOOD ENGRAVINGS OF DAVID GENTLEMAN.
Montgomery, Powys, Wales David Esslemont 2000 4to. full black cloth, red paper spine label, cloth slipcase. xviii, (ii), 131, (2) pages.
Printed in an edition limited to 350 numbered copies. The first published collection of David Gentleman's engravings, this book contains over 300 wood engravings. Includes work ranging from book illustrations done while still a student at the Royal College of Art to the well-known engravings for Clare's "The Shepherd's Calendar" to designs for postage stamps, press advertisements, and book covers. The small engravings which were enlarged twenty times for the Charing Cross Underground mural are also featured. With only a few exceptions the engravings are printed directly from the artist's original wood blocks. Fiona MacCarthy's introduction describes Gentleman's upbringing and training and reveals the influences on his work. Acknowledging his unique creative skills and sensitivity, she reviews his work not only as a wood engraver but also as an artist and designer. The foreword by Gentleman describes the evolution of his responses to the medium and his clients. His insightful commentary which details how each was commissioned, conceived and carried out, accompanies each group of engravings. Simon Brett, writing in Multiples Jan. 2001, recognizes Gentleman as "the engraver of light" and praises this volume which allows this aspect of the engravings to leap from the page. In the London Times Jan. 31, 2001, Jim McCue also finds great pleasure in the pages of this homage to a talented and gentle man.
