Pinchart, Alexandre and Ch. de Brou LA PLUS ANCIENNE GRAVURE SUR CUIVRE FAITE DANS LES PAYS-BAS and LES GRANDES ARMOIRIES DU DUC CHARLES DE BOURGOGNE
2 volumes (Paris) n.p. n.d. (but circa 1876) 8vo. later cloth with embossed seal (entwined Ls in an oval, surmounted by a crown) 9 pages + one fold out leaf of plates in black and white; 20 pages
A pair of offprint articles, one responding to the other, from La Revue Universelle des Arts and the Bulletin des Commissions royales d'art et d'archéologie, bound separately. The Pinchart article seems to dismantle the criticism voiced by de Brou in his initial article challenging the authorship status of the Flemish Master ES of 1466 in as far as regards the large coats-of-arms of the duc de Bourgogne, preferring instead to side with earlier scholars Harzen and Alvin. The second article, in typical scholarly fashion, attacks its predecessor articles on the grounds of their conclusions and the linguistic formulations thereof, in order to underscore the greater clarity and convincingness of its arguments. As a pair, interesting for the individual desirous of learning about early copper engraving in the Low Countries, as well as about the dynamics of nineteenth-century French scholarly debate in print. Traces of original blue stiff paper wrapper visible along spine of the volume.

(Raverat, Gwen) Selborne, Joanna and Lindsay Newman. GWEN RAVERAT, WOOD ENGRAVER
New Castle DE Oak Knoll Press 2003 small 4to. cloth 152 pages
First trade edition. From the late nineteenth century, wood engraving became a medium for creative expression. One of the most prolific engravers was Gwen Raverat (1885-1957). She trained as a painter, and developed an impressionistic approach - her skill at conveying atmosphere and different qualities of light was unrivaled. She also had a strong sense of character, as is shown by her numerous illustrations to children's books. This book contains the first in-depth assessment of Gwen Raverat as a wood engraver, exploring her technique and her experiments with color prints. In addition it contains a full catalogue of all her engravings, and a descriptive bibliography of the books and ephemera which she illustrated. 1 color and 87 black-and-white illustrations. SALES RIGHTS: Available in North & South America from Oak Knoll Books. Available outside North & South America from The British Library.
