Selborne, Joanna BRITISH WOOD-ENGRAVED BOOK ILLUSTRATION 1904-1940: A BREAK WITH TRADITION.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2001 small 4to. stiff paper wrapper 458 pages
First Edition, second printing. Book illustration by British wood-engravers from 1904 to the beginning of the Second World War was among the most versatile and inventive of the graphic arts. In a climate of typographical renaissance, various wood-engravers made dynamic impact on the appearance of the printed page, transforming good books into works of art and influencing modern standards of book production. This extraordinary book reveals the methods by which these pioneering artists broke with nineteenth-century illustrative practices. Detailed studies of unpublished material, including art school records, publishers' and print societies' archives, and artists' correspondence, throws new light on the work and practices of these innovative artists. Reprinted from 1998 Oxford University Press edition.

Suriano, Gregory R. THE BRITISH PRE-RAPHAELITE ILLUSTRATORS.
New Castle and London Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2005 8.5 x 11 inches Hardcover, dust jacket 352 pages.
In the second half of the 19th century, a group of artists burst onto the British art scene and created a graphic revolution. Collectively known as the Pre-Raphaelites, their influence on the Victorian Age was incalculable. In this unique work, Gregory Suriano, a Pre-Raphaelite collector with a Master's Degree in Art History from Rutgers University, has rewritten and expanded this second edition with 75 rare, additional engravings not in the 2000 first edition.

The work is divided into three parts. Part One features a short, intriguing biography and works of each of the major Pre-Raphaelites. Part Two features biographies and works of their Associates. Part Three includes artists who were greatly influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites. All artists are critically discussed. The appendix has an extensive catalogue of their works and a selected bibliography and references plus index.

This work makes an excellent reference volume and introduction into the unique world of the Pre-Raphaelite artists. Illustrated with over 525 black-and-white images.

Co-published with The British Library. Sales Rights: Worldwide except the UK; available in the UK from The British Library.

Tattersfield, Nigel JOHN BEWICK, ENGRAVER ON WOOD 1760-1795.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2001 8vo. cloth, dust jacket 192 pages
First edition. When people think of Bewick, they are generally thinking of Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) and his superlative wood engravings of animals and birds. Thomas skill and reputation largely obscured the artistic recognition of his younger brother, John Bewick, as an accomplished wood engraver illustrating mostly children's books.
Yet John Bewick was one of the earliest, if not the earliest, designer-engravers in England to make his living exclusively by illustrating books. His popularity resulted in producing illustrations and engravings for 60 books - mostly children's books - during a tragically short working life.
This is the first book entirely devoted to this remarkable wood engraver. It consists of two parts. The first is a biography of the artist, drawing upon largely unpublished but highly detailed and entertaining correspondence, which has surfaced in the last few years. The second part provides a comprehensive, annotated bibliography of John Bewick's illustrations. This has been made possible by Nigel Tattersfield's discovery of John Bewick's own ledger of commissions dating back to 1791.
