Werkman, Hendrik Nicolaas [Posth.] / Henkels, F.R.A / Martin, Kurt / Grieshaber, HAP / et al
Hommage à Werkman [Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman]
A posthumous homage to Dutch typographer and artist Hendrik Nicolaas Werkman, publisher of the magazine "The Next Call" and pioneer in the art of avant-garde printing. As a member of the Dutch resistance in World War II, Werkman operated an illegal printing press and was shot by the Gestapo in 1945. His colleagues and peers compiled this homage book more than a decade later to commemorate his work. The book contains both examples of Werkman's own art prints, as well as art and text from the many contributors - totaling around 100 distinct pieces of artwork from all involved, as well as multiple pieces of artistically-arranged texts about (or related to) Werkman. Contributors include F.R.A Henkels, W. Sandberg, Kurt Martin, HAP Grieshaber, H.L. Greve, Riccarda Gregor, Herbert Schwobel, Emil Kiess, Raoul Ubac, Wilhelm Geyer, Walter Renz, Werner Oberle, Fritz Ruoff, and the students of the Karlsruhe academy of arts. [ATTRIBUTES:] 295x210mm. ~120 unnumbered pages. Beige board hardcover with tan cloth spine. A reproduction of the cover of issue #9 of "The Next Call" appears on the front cover. [CONDITION:] Cover corners bumped and mildly worn. Front cover very lightly scratched. Otherwise, this loving homage to a pioneer and martyr is in very good condition.

Wilde, Oscar.
THE PORTRAIT OF MR W. H.
75p. Title page printed in red and black. Printed on Japan vellum. Partially unopened. Small 24mo. Original stiff printed Japan vellum wraps with large red initial on front cover. Slightly soiled. Limited Edition of only 425 copies. Third Edition. Nice example." The story is about an attempt to uncover the identity of Mr W.H., the enigmatic dedicatee of Shakespeare's Sonnets. It is based on a theory, originated by Thomas Tyrwhitt, that the Sonnets were addressed to one Willie Hughes, portrayed in the story as a boy actor who specialized in playing women in Shakespeare's company. This theory depends on the assumption that the dedicatee is also the Fair Youth who is the subject of most of the poems. The only evidence for this theory is a number of sonnets (such as Sonnet 20) that make puns on the words 'Will' and 'Hues." - Wiki. Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854-1900) was an Irish writer and poet. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams, his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, his plays, and the circumstances of his imprisonment and early death. - Wiki. PRESS/W39. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
