(Delaware) Beers, D.G. MILFORD, KENT CO. DEL.
Philadelphia Pomeroy & Beers 1868 16.75" x 17.75" matte Single sheet
Map of Milford, Delaware in Kent County, matted. Map contains a directory of businesses and manufacturers, as well as a list of residential references. Scale inch to the mile. This leaf has been removed from a incomplete copy of Beers' 1868 Atlas of the State of Delaware (page 59), which contains "actual surveys by and under the direction of D.G. Beers." Daniel G.

Beers and his family produced detailed maps of many Northeastern states, cities, and counties until the 1880s, when the United States began to systematize mapping practices, and mapmaking moved out of private publication (Mano, Jo Margaret). Engraved by Worley & Bracher of Philadelphia and printed by Fred Bourquin.

(DePol, John) DePol, John WEST SIDE - MANHATTAN
New York United States Banknote Corporation 1975 13" x 9" single sheet in folder
This is a Keepsake from the United States Banknote Corporation . The engraving was printed letterpress in two colors directly from the original blacks ( engraved on Venezuelan boxwood circa 1960) on S.D. Warren's Lustro Offset Enamel Dull 80# cover. This engraving was executed from an on-the-scene sketch . It was transferred by burnishing to the surface of the black which an previously been inked in black and then coated with a fine film of tallow from a candle via the thumb and finger method. This yields a dull black surface receptive to the pencil drawing which is then followed as a guide when engraving.

(Whittington Press) Gerry, Leslie and Robin Llywelyn PORTMEIRION
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.
