‎[Janus Press] Kafka, Franz | etchings by Claire Van Vliet‎

‎A Country Doctor / Ein Landarzt‎

‎Philadelphia: Janus Press 1962. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Quarto. 28 4 blank pp. illus. Limited edition number 106 of 250 copies. Signed by Van Vliet on at the colophon. As issued in cloth with title in gilt on the spine. Irregular sunning to both boards else nearly fine; contents clean. <br /> <br /> Among the earliest titles of the long-running Janus Press this is considered by Van Vliet to be the first major work of the press. Van Vliet issued its first volume in 1955 and continues issuing work under Van Vliet's hand and direction today more than 70 years on. Willa and Edwin Muir's English translations shares each page with Kafka's German in a two-column format. The work is illustrated by 12 relief etching by Van Vliet one of which is a page-spread illustration. Her bibliographer Ruth Fine writes of this book: "In contrast to her rather joyous celebrations of nature this and later works by which she pays homage in celebration of literature tend to be austere in character. A somberness is apparent in both the stark format and the heightened intensity of the illustrations. It is in fact the formality in the total design of these volumes that gives balance to the images which are overtly emotionally charged and in so doing gives meaning to the adoption of Janus as a symbol. In The Country Doctor all of the plates convey a sense of isolation perhaps terror. The strong dark/light contrast intrinsic to the method of printing etchings in relief with black ink accentuates the drama of the tale" p. 11. Fine Ruth Lehrer. The Janus Press 1955-75 p. 33.

‎[Janus Press] Van Vliet, Claire (lithographs)‎

‎Greed‎

‎Newark VT: Janus Press 2013. Original Wrappers. Fine binding. 6-1/2" x 7." Limited edition one of 120 copies. Accordion fold with 8 panels 4 of them are fold-down pages. Each of the four page-spreads include letterpress text in various typefaces and colors which fold-down expanding the canvas of words sayings and accusations including a catalog of U.S. Senators and Representatives of the 111th Congress who became lobbyists—a list that fills the fold-down page in a small font; these opposite a lithograph by Van Vliet each lithograph is titled by the top word on the opposite page: Propagandist Lobbyist Banker Joe Public. Bound in gold paper repeated printed with the word "Greed" and all housed in gold slipcase. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> In a contemporary newspaper article in the Burlington Free Press Candace Page relates an interview with Van Vliet: "She picks up dummy of GREED a slim volume that will sit inside a glittery cover of gold paper. It opens like an accordion to display four Van Vliet black-and-white lithographs of distorted faces: A banker a lobbyist a newscaster she says 'and this one on the end the sap John Q. Public us.'" <br /> <br /> Van Vliet continues in the Page interview: "The word 'greed' will be printed multiple times on the cover in heavy unevenly inked type as though it were printed contemptuously by some greedy person with no respect for the written word. The paper is not handmade — that would be too good for the book. Instead it is 'slick nasty machine-made paper' she says. The edges of the gold cover will be sharp 'because greed is not a comfortable subject.'" There is a wonderful irony that the lithographs employed in Greed were originally drawn for an edition of Kafka decades before that just weren't quite right for the project. Here they are perfect! <br /> <br /> This is a striking book a political book one might say an angry and defiant book. Van Vliet's politics being informed by the McCarthy era during which she was a student she admits to having distrusted the powerful ever since. This edition sold out very quickly and is now rare in commerce. A book that was is and will always be relevant. Janus Press unknown‎

‎Papermaking at Hayle Mill 1808-1987‎

‎Newark VT: Janus Press 2008. Original Wrappers. Fine binding. Quarto. 65 3 pp. illus specimens. Limited edition one of 200 numbered copies. Letterpress printed from polymer plates on Finale paper the last paper made at Hayle Mill. Longstitch binding in wrappers with printed paper title label on the front cover. Housed in a clamshell box containing a letterpress printed three color map of "Loose Valley 1856 with the Mills on Loose Stream"; a portfolio with 19 photographs reprinted from the Hayle Mill Archives; and a portfolio of sample papers. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> This remarkable work of scholarship delves into the history of papermaking in Kent along the Loose Stream and the history of this particular firm started by John Pine and sold before a decade had passed to John Green whose descendants would remain at the helm generation after generation until it closed in 1987. At which time it was the "last industrial handmade mill of its kind in commercial operation in Britain" p. 60. But this book is so much more: to look at the care and presentation of this history it is as much an ode to paper and papermaking as it is a mere history. Van Vliet is an artist whose relationship with paper is distinctive among her peers—from her pulp painting and paper making to the fact that most all the books from the Janus Press are bound in thoughtfully designed paper bindings the structure of many being her own invention paper is part of every design aspect. The 16th century epigraph speaks volumes: "I prayse the man that first did paper make the only thing that sets all vertues forth: It shoes newe bookes and keepes old workes awake much more of price than all this world is worth. . . ." It's fitting that this history is printed on paper from the Hayle Mill with a watermark specially designed by Van Vliet for the final paper made at the mill. Janus Press unknown‎
