See More... Richardson, Elizabeth P. A BLOOMSBURY ICONOGRAPHY.
Winchester St. Paul's Bibliographies 1989 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xii, 372 pages.
First edition. This index provides references to over 700 British and American books, periodicals, and exhibition catalogues that make it possible to find about 4,000 different photographs and works of art relating to Bloomsbury and the Bloomsbury group, including portraits, sketches and photographs of people, places and things. The iconography also references their books and homes, ancestors and close friends, including 34 pages devoted to Leonard and Virginia Woolf. The annotations, chiefly in the form of quotations from published diaries, letters and other books help settle dates, identify places and occasions, evoke emotional overtones and reflect the personality of artist or sitter. The various indices of artists, locations, and photographs which accompany the general index help make the book easy to use.

seven signed wood engravings and a watercolor by John O'Connor

(Rocket Press) O'Connor, John ARIEL AND MIRANDA, SEVEN WOOD ENGRAVINGS BY...INSPIRED BY SHAKESPEARE'S "THE TEMPEST."
Blewbury, Oxfordshire Rocket Press n.d.(1992) folio clamshell case with paper labels, folded sheet, sheets mounted in stiff board folders. (4) pages, 8 folders.
Printed in an edition limited to 65 numbered sets, this is one of 20 which includes an original watercolor. John S. O'Connor (1913-2004) was a student of Eric Ravilious, John Nash and others at the Royal Academy of Art in the mid-30s. His own works began to appear in the late 30's, in the publications of the Golden Cockerell Press. Since that time, Mr. O'Connor has produced paintings, watercolors, lithographs, and engravings in various media. Peppin and Micklethwait (Dictionary of British Book Illustrators, 1983, p.218) describe his wood engravings as "strikingly decorative in the tradition of Eric Ravilious, with tonal and textural contrast achieved through a wide variety of tooling." Hamilton (c1890-1990, 1994, p.150) characterizes O'Connor's landscape work as containing "strong edges, deep shadows and dramatic contrasts of light and dark" which gives "a sense of rhythm and pattern to the image." Garrett (History of British Wood Engraving, 1978, p.222) regards O'Connor's engraving style as in the "Ravilious manner," which he has aptly described (p.221) as "illustrative, decorative and dominated by intricate pattern and texture." In his introduction to this set, Mr. O'Connor discusses his interest in Shakespeare's The Tempest and provides the rationale for these engravings: "I like to consider the years previous to the brief action of the play. The "sprite" close to his master and to Miranda the child: and I suggest the boy and girl would have enjoyed each other's company in the manner of brother and sister. He would be a little wild; she enclosed in that strangely mature innocence that is written into Miranda. Shy at first, the two children would play in streams, collect herbs..." etc. There are nine illustrations: the seven signed and numbered (with regard to copy) engravings, a similarly signed watercolor on the same theme but not precisely copying any of the engravings, and a small (3x4 in.) unsigned engraving affixed to the front of the clamshell case. Figures (Ariel and Miranda, or Ariel alone) are variously posed, each partially outlined by a pure white area roughly approximating their forms. Two prints are in black, yellow, and white; the rest are black-and-white. Sizes (other than the case illustration) are roughly 4x6 or 6x8 inches. Cutouts in the fronts of the folders frame the pictures when the folders are closed. Accompanied by a folded folio sheet with title and Mr. O'Connor's introduction and signed by the artist (verso of the title page), with the annotation "92," presumably the date of publication. The interior lining of the clamshell case is printed with a repeated motif taken from one of the engravings. Printed at the Rocket Press.

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.
