(Hesterberg Press) THOMAS BEWICK: THE BLOCKS REVISITED & REDISCOVERED
Evanston, IL Hesterberg Press 2008 large 8vo cloth (i), 69 pages, ii, (iii)
The Blocks Revisited & Rediscovered documents the fascinating story of Thomas Bewick's personal blocks and their historic journey to Chicago in 1942. Many of these blocks found new homes quickly in the Midwest and across America, while others became well-travelled, eventually making their way back to England. The whereabouts of these blocks and their movements over the years have raised questions and a desire to document them for their safe keeping. It is hoped this five-year investigation will begin to provide answers, as over 700 of the 1,350 blocks that came to Chicago are documented here in 35 collections.

The Blocks Revisited & Rediscovered measures 6.5 x 10 inches and contains eighty pages which include fourteen original blocks printed on dampened Rives Heavy-weight paper using a Washington Hand Press. The remaining thirty-five Bewick illustrations were printed using a Vandercook Press from metal engravings reproduced from the Memorial Edition. The text, set in a digital version of Bulmer, was also printed from metal engravings. Color photographs of Bewick's portrait and his toolbox are included as tip-ins, along with a photograph of a group of blocks at the Hesterberg Press.

A numbered edition of ninety copies was bound by Campbell-Logan Bindery, Minneapolis, in a dark green cloth with contrasting green end papers. The spine is gold stamped and the front cover features an inset of a vignette printed from one of Bewick's blocks at the press.

(Housman, Laurence) Engen, Rodney K. LAURENCE HOUSMAN.
Stroud Catalpa Press 1983 4to. cloth. 157, (6) pages.
First edition. Volume 1 in The Artist and the Critic Series. The spirited, prolific career of Laurence Housman (1865-1959) was that of one of the most enigmatic, talented, skillful polymaths of the late-Victorian period. His drawings of fairies and elegant, Pre-Raphaelite women were admired for their evocative, atmospheric qualities, while his critics dismissed them as borrowed from William Blake, William Morris and the more devilish aspects of Beardsley. He was a draughtsman and book designer, who turned to writing verse, fantasy stories, novels, essays and scandalous plays on the royals. The pioneer feminist, pacifist and socialist, Housman was as outspoken as he was enchanting. His life and work is an invaluable reflection of the taste and popular opinions of an early twentieth century anxious to shrug off the mantle of the Victorians. Yet Housman himself remained a true Victorian to the end. He was the prophet of fantasy: the pure, simple guide through a rapidly confused and complicated world. This important reference work contains a biography, a complete annotated bibliography and reprints of critical essays on Housman.

(Inky Parrot Press) Voltaire, Francois Marie Arouet de CANDIDE
Oxford The Inky Parrot Press 1985 small 4to. patterned paper-covered boards, slipcase (x), 141+(1) pages
Printed in an edition limited to 360 numbered copies. Translated by Richard Aldington. Signed by the illustrator, Wilton Priestner. Profusely illustrated with slightly disturbing, almost surreal line drawings that push the satirical tone of the story itself to a new level. The modern, edgy drawings are evidence of the relevancy and adaptability of the work of the eighteenth-century French writer, Voltaire. The imagery does not exactly match up with the moment of the story it illustrates, but rather offers a highly interpretive version of the events as told by Voltaire. For example, whereas the text reads "...she observed Doctor Pangloss in the bushes, giving a lesson in experimental physics to her mother's waiting maid, a very pretty and docile brunette," the illustration shows a couple copulating in the garden. Paper covered boards and the slipcase also with drawings by Priestner. With shoulder notes.

(Jewitt, Orlando) Broomhead, Frank THE BOOK ILLUSTRATIONS OF ORLANDO JEWITT.
Pinner, Middlesex Private Libraries Association 1995 tall 8vo. cloth. xvi, 256 pages.
According to Broomhead, during the 19th century, a growing demand for books, resulting from wider general education and an increasing interest in antiquarian pursuits by the leisured classes, was met by the inventive genius of the period, which was able to develop new processes and machines for speedier and cheaper book production. Book illustration was an area where new techniques were widely employed, giving the books of the period an added interest for many collectors. Wood engraving was used extensively for illustrating books in the 19th century, losing its eminence only when photographic and photo-mechanical processes were developed in the latter decades of the century. One prolific wood engraver, whose early work showed some similarities to the work of Thomas Bewick, was Orlando Jewitt (1799-1869.) His illustrations appeared widely over the half-century from approximately 1820 to 1870. Many of the books containing his engravings continued to be reprinted, and Jewitt's work was used after his death in newly published works. Jewitt's illustrations are included in many standard works in the fields of topography, architecture (Gothic Revival), archaeology and natural history. He also illustrated books for young people, as well as working as an engraver of seals and bookplates. This book contains approximately 100 illustrations, an introduction and multi-chapter history of Jewitt's background, two appendixes listing Jewitt's work as an author and his bookplates, a checklist of books and periodicals illustrated by him, references cited and an index of titles.
