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.

New York Vincent FitzGerald & Co. 1985 12 x 14 cloth of vibrant yellow, with title stamped in blue within a red triangle on front cover, housed in black clamshell box by Charriere. Not paginated.
Signed, Limited Edition, one of 125 copies only on Rives BFK, all signed by the author and artist, hand set in Janson, lithographs and etchings pulled by the Printmaking Workshop of Bob Blackburn. Bound by Gerard Charriere. In this play by Harry Kondoleon, "A woman, her husband, and her husband's lover go up and down the Riviera only to be disappointed by the Riviera. The dullness of the Cote D'Azur reveals to these Americans the dullness and impossibility of love...they tire of one another and pursue sex partners at random until they are attacked and consumed by sea dragons." Mark Beard's brilliant illustrations of these "two-dimensional and ironic" characters, in their bathing suits and sunglasses, in saturated primary colors and his flat presentation, are overwhelming in their impact of the characters' vapidity. With such illustrations as Greek temple caryatids folding out to reveal the Cote d'Azur and paper doll players, Beard's art inexpressibly moves the viewer to realize the inevitable crush of the dragon of these pitiable self-centered creatures. A brilliant mixture of wit and irony with difficult and innovative printmaking techniques producing prints with highly unusual textures, especially in the final fold out, which has an effect of great richness and mystery.

See More... (Fleece Press) Brett, Simon. MR. DERRICK HARRIS 1919-1960.
Denby Dale (England) Fleece Press 1998 small 4to. quarter cloth, decorated paper-covered boards / small 4to., sewn, stiff paper wrappers / oblong small 4to., stiff paper folder with paper label on front, loose sheets (about 29 x 38. 5 cm), all in a cloth-covered clamshell with a fitted interior. 53, (5) pages with one additional foldout leaf / 3 leaves / 9 sheets.
Limited to 280 copies. Derrick Harris's (1919-1960) wood-engraved images appeared in the late 40's and the 50's in various Folio Society publications and other books, and in a number of BBC publications. His rather graceful and sprightly, decorative and stylized (with elements of folk art and 18th-century illustration), and often implacably cheerful images seem also to have anticipated much commercial art of the following decades, and Harris also designed posters, advertisements, magazine covers, etc. Harris's death by suicide suggests that the cheerfulness was in part an aesthetic phenomenon, and in that respect one of the most interesting illustrations reproduced here is that of an individual, not at all cheerful- or even friendly-looking, about to try on a mask. Harris was largely forgotten in the years following his death, and Garrett's 1978 History of British Wood Engraving makes no mention of him. The book by Simon Brett discusses the life and works of Derrick Harris, with about fifty reproductions, both large and small, of wood engravings by him. The sewn brochure contains three additional large engravings by Harris, and the folder contains a set of nine colored wood engravings done around 1946 for a never-published children's book entitled "Royal Flush" (the text is now lost). The whole is very well printed by Simon Lawrence, a long-time admirer of Harris's work, at the Fleece Press, using original blocks for the engravings. Slipcase is slightly bumped. Now out of print.
