A Bibliography of the Library of the Supreme Council, 33, S.J. New Castle, Delaware and Washington D.C. Oak Knoll Press and the Library of the Supreme Council 2013 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover 580 pages
This extensive bibliography is based on the international Masonic holdings in the library of the Supreme Council, Southern Jurisdiction of the USA. It represents an important cross section of Masonic literature obtained by the Supreme Council from about 89 countries worldwide and covers a historic period of about three centuries. Anderson's Constitutions, the first book to discuss activities of the Fraternity, was published in 1723. Since that time interest in Freemasonry has developed and emerged on a worldwide scale. The House of the Temple's International Masonic Collection now contains over 8,000 volumes written in 25 languages. The bibliography is illustrated with hundreds of images which graphically depict major classic themes in Masonic symbolism. Begun at the initiative of Grand Commander Albert Pike in the mid-nineteenth century, it now covers over one hundred years of acquisition effort. The geographic scope of this bibliography, along with historic period of literary coverage provides unique insight into the nature, substance, and evolution of Masonic philosophy of at least eight generations of Masonic authors worldwide. More important, it is the first time in the history of American bibliography that the international Masonic fraternity is documented in context as the oldest universal brotherhood. Thus, it is a fundamental extension to the two previous Masonic catalogs published by this experienced author. We are pleased to announce that this is the third "must-have" catalog for Masonic libraries, collectors, and students of Masonic literature. Co-published with the Library of the Supreme Council.

Larissa P. Watkins is Assistant to the Librarian at the Library of the Supreme Council in Washington, D.C. Educated in the Russian Federation as a journalist and librarian, she holds an honors degree in Library Science from the Cultural Sciences Institute of Higher Learning in Ussurisk, Primorskiy Krai, and was Director of Acquisition and Automation at the State Scientific Library in the Maritime Provinces in Vladivostok.

This is a companion bibliography to Watkins' American Masonic Periodicals 1811-2001, published in 2003 by the same publishers.

It is another "must-have" for Masonic libraries, collectors, and students of Masonic literature. Co-published with the Library of the Supreme Council.

See More... Wendorf, Richard. THE LITERATURE OF COLLECTING & OTHER ESSAYS.
New Castle, Delaware and Boston, Massachusetts Oak Knoll Press and the Boston Athenæum 2008 6 x 9 inches Hardcover, dust jacket 376 pages
First edition. In this new collection of essays, many published here for the first time, the author of the warmly reviewed Scholar-Librarian leads a series of further explorations into the world of books, libraries and the visual arts. In his extended title essay, Richard Wendorf provides a groundbreaking investigation of the relationship between the theoretical texts devoted to collecting and the rich fictional texts that also take collecting as their focus: not just John Fowles's The Collector, but also Susan Sontag's The Volcano Lover, Evan Connell's The Connoisseur, Tibor Fischer's The Collector Collector, Bruce Chatwin's Utz, and Ian McEwan's early short story "Solid Geometry." Wendorf shows how the critical arguments posed by Benjamin, Baudrillard, Muensterberger and others play out in these modern literary texts and how, in turn, these fictional works complicate the ways in which we think about what it means to be a collector.

Wendorf devotes two chapters to library history: a bicentennial essay on the Boston Athenæum and an investigation of the origins of America's membership libraries in England and its colonies in the eighteenth century. Returning to the painter Sir Joshua Reynolds, the focus of much of his scholarly work, Wendorf includes four essays, two of which provide fresh assessments of Reynolds's career, while the other two document his relationships within the blue-stocking world of Elizabeth Montagu, Hester Thrale Piozzi and his sister Frances Reynolds. And in a tour de force near the end of this volume ("Deconstructing Athena - and Me"), Wendorf writes about what it is like to serve not just as the scholarly interpreter of portraiture but as the photographic subject of it as well.

Richard Wendorf is the Stanford Calderwood Director and Librarian of the Boston Athenæum, which he has helped shepherd through a historic renovation and expansion project as well as its 2007 bicentennial. He was previously the Librarian (director) of Harvards Houghton Library and, before that, Professor of English and Art History at Northwestern University, where he also served as the undergraduate academic dean. His publications include the award-winning Sir Joshua Reynolds: The Painter in Society (Harvard) and After Sir Joshua: Essays on British Art and Cultural History (Yale). This represents his third book with Oak Knoll Press; its companions are The Scholar-Librarian (2005) and America's Membership Libraries (2007). Co-published with the Boston Athenæum.

Los Angeles Dawson's Book Shop 1999 8.75 x 11.5 inches hardcover xlii, 268 pages
This book is a bibliography of photographically illustrated children's books in the field of American and international juvenile literature from 1854 to 1945. It details books that were illustrated with original photographs or related-mechanical processes, and describes author and title, as well as provides an index of photographers, illustrators, and reproduction processes linked to specific books. The collection reveals a parallel of the evolving artistic trends and the history of photography through its organization in chronological order. These trends include salted paper print, the albumen print, the carbon print, the platinum print, the silver print, and the gravure print to the halftone, from black-and-white to color. Ranging from amateur to art, each style of the 1,421 books presented has resulted in the creation of an illustration to tell a story.

There are three levels of description throughout the bibliography which vary depending on the date of publication. Children's books published between 1854 and 1895 include full, detailed entries; those between 1896 and 1914 include slightly less detailed entries; and those between 1915 and 1946 include outlined entries. Although the main list of the bibliography ends in 1945, there is an additional list of children's books to 1995 with illustrations by recognizable photographers within the art community. A preface written by photographer, Duane Michals, is included and White has also provided an historical overview of the field of photographically illustrated children's books.

Mus White was born in Denmark and is the author of the novel Jasmine in My Hand (2006).

See More... (Whittington Press) Anderson, Andrew A VISION OF ORDER, 32 LINOCUTS BY ANDREW ANDERSON.
(Lower Marston Farm, Risbury) Whittington Press 2011 22 x 15 inches quarter buckram and paper covered boards, slipcase 64 pages
Andrew Andersons astonishing linocuts are an arresting mix of image, lettering and symbolism. The images show strong influences of his background as an architect with a particular interest in mediaeval architecture; the lettering brings Eric Gill to mind, but with an added fluency and versatility; and much of the symbolism comes from his involvement with cathedral and church architecture. He has written about his work in MATRIX 28, pp. 9.

He combines these three elements with immense skill and with a rare dedication, and yet his images have an astonishing vibrance and magnetism. Little known or seen over the years, hampered perhaps because of their size and the artists preoccupation with his architectural work, they appear here for the first time in a readily accessible form, each with a note by the artist explaining its content and symbolism.

The large format of A VISION OF ORDER allows most of the prints to be tipped in unfolded. Like our Posters published in 1996, it will be a monumental volume in its own right, set in a large size of the Caslon type for which the Press has become renowned. Tom Mayo, who will be doing much of the printing of this large and unusual project, will be posting a blog giving an illustrated report of its progress.

Risbury, Herefordshire Whittington Press, The. 2010 8vo. half-bound in buckram and paper 112
Trade edition, one of 225 copies. Lost and Found will show all sixteen of the blocks for The Mill on the Floss for the first time, as well as reconstructing the larger palimpsest images on the reverse of the blocks. As Hal Bishop remarked in Matrix 26, 'Despite the loss of the short central section of each block, Rachel's compositional whole is easily reconstructed by the eye.'

The book will also include eighteen of her wonderfully energetic earlier engravings, showing how her style developed before she began The Mill on the Floss. Lost and Found tells the story of sixteen powerful illustrations that have remained hidden for nearly sixty years, and the highly unusual images that were sacrificed unneccessarily in the process. It brings to light the work of one of the century's most original engravers, whose work is little known partly because her financial independence made her relatively unconcerned about publicising her work.

Limited to 185 trade editions which are bound in buckram and decorated paper sides.

DELUXE EDITION (Lower Marston Farm, Risbury Whittington Press 2008 4to. paper covered boards, clamshell box
This deluxe edition contains a 23" x 33" foldout illustration, 8 loose 12" x 16" illustrations, and a custom clamshell box.

Portmeirion is the extraordinary Italianate village created by the architect and town-planner Clough Williams-Ellis on a remote peninsula in North Wales.

The double-spread images in Portmeirion brilliantly capture its architectural eccentricities in a pageant of colour created by the artist in the form of a series of seven original prints drawn on an electronic tablet, a technique he has exploited that is in many ways the successor to the Jean Berte and pochoir processes in that it achieves its effects by superimposing layers of flat colour on top of one another.

Clough's grandson, Robin Llywelyn, who spent much of his childhood at Portmeirion, provides a vivid and concise commentary on each scene, tracing the development of the village from its beginnings in 1925 and describes how Clough put 'fallen buildings', rescued from demolition before and after the war, to brilliantly creative use in his uniquely bizarre concept of Portmeirion.

The images are printed by the artist on Somerset mould-made paper, and the text, on alternate openings, is set in 24-point Caslon and printed on a heavyweight Zerkall chamois geglattet mould-made paper in a threadless zig-zag binding.

Beside the predictable snowman on the village green, there was even a habitable igloo. Miriam Macgregor at once ventured out into this unfamiliar snowscape with sketchbook and camera, and these engravings, mostly full-page, are the ideal medium for their subject. This is the third book of Miriam's engravings in which all the subjects are within walking distance of her cottage.

Hand-set in 16 point Centaur and printed on Zerkall mould-made paper, with 24 wood-engravings, in an edition of 255 copies.

At the time, in 1995, the Press had printed some 100 posters, and in the eighteen years since then another 150 have been added to the total, and thirty-five chosen here show off a great variety of typefaces on equally esoteric variety of papers from England (some over a century old), France, Italy, Czech Republic, Germany, Japan and Korea. They include illustrations from linocuts, wood-engravings, and in special copies, pochoir, among a dazzling array of the Press' extensive collection of founts.

Whittington Posters are produced as a distraction from more important projects, usually in small editions of 100 or 200 copies, and given away or sold on our open days, but have nevertheless become an important part of the Press' output in helping to spread the message about its activities. By their nature they are occasional and ephemeral, and the only time they will ever come together is in a collection such as this.

Also included in the collection are posters by Tom Mayo and Patrick Randle, which will add a radical note to our normal, more predictable, fare. An article describing the background and development of the Press' posters appeared in Parenthesis 20 (Spring 2011).

Also included in the collection are posters by Tom Mayo and Patrick Randle, which will add a radical note to our normal, more predictable, fare. An article describing the background and development of the Press' posters appeared in Parenthesis 20 (Spring 2011).

Charleston, SC Arcadia Publishing 2010
The Delaware National Guard traces its roots to 1655, when the Swedish Colonial government formed a militia to defend itself. That tradition carried through Dutch and then English control of the colony. The militia served in all five French and Indian Wars and then distinguished itself during the Revolutionary War as the First Delaware Regiment of the Continental Army, earning its "Blue Hen" nickname. The Delaware militia continued to serve in every major war, and currently it remains in the forefront. Images of America: Delaware Army National Guard presents images of this fabled organization that survived from the Spanish-American War to the present. The people, places, equipment, and facilities of the Delaware National Guard are illustrated in this compilation of historic photographs from the collection of the Delaware Military Heritage and Education Foundation.

Author Bio: Brig. Gen. Kennard R. Wiggins Jr. (DE ANG Retired) is a third-generation Delaware Guardsman who served in the National Guard for over 37 years. Currently he serves as executive director of the Delaware Military Heritage and Education Foundation, Inc., which maintains an extensive archive of Delaware National Guard images.
