McCallion Barry. Kipling Rudyard
Kim. An Altered Book
East Hampton NY 2013. Unique artist's book hand painted on Rives BFK paper by Barry McCallion signed and dated by the artist on the titlepage "Barry McCallion 2013." Page size: 7-1/2 x 5-3/4 inches: 96pp. 48 of text and 48 of full-page original art. Bound by Rhonda Miller: hand-sewn full tan limp leather with closure simulating the pocket diary style of notebook manufactured in the late 19th century the time in which Kipling's novel is set; housed in tan linen clamshell box with image of elephant on green ground within red circle by Barry McCallion label printed in black with title and signed by the artist on the spine box executed by Joelle Webber at the Mermaid Bindery. Using India inks and Winsor Newton colored inks the artist Barry McCallion has created a non-verbal text for one of the main themes of the novel: the Lama's quest to free himself from the Wheel of Things by finding the legendary "River of the Arrow." Set against the backdrop of "The Great Game" conflict between Russia and Britain in Central Asia with espionage and intrigue as important an element as the backdrop of India itself KIM is a classic novel. Barry McCallion has altered text pages selected for their references to the spiritual quest that the Lama and Kim undertake highlighting the text in green and outlining appropriate passages in red outline the Red Bull on the green field. The full page images on each verso are all a circle within a square starting with a single silver-gilt dot. The paintings become more and more complicated and colorful as the "quest" for the River of the Arrow progresses. Overturned bowls of food ignited matches fruit leaves chairs all make their way towards the boundaries of the circle which becomes more frenzied and intense with each page With lines and circles within the red circle one can almost see a clock marking the passage of time Finally the last image is complete within a red border - "the River of the Arrow is here. unknown books

And while Kipling's trade editions soon began to be published in large numbers after the American international copyright law's foundation date of July 1 1891 his London literary agent A.P. Watt and his New York publisher Frank N. Doubleday made extensive use of limited printings - as few as 8 to 25 copies - to establish copyright in each country" David Alan Richards "Collecting Kipling".
