ref. 8807Albuquerque: Mark Attwood 1990. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good. 1st and only edition: "This book is no. 41 in a limited edition of 50. Printed from linocuts on Rives heavyweight paper using a Dufa flat-bed offset press." On the next page preceding the title page: "Another Day in Paradise is a collection of images by a group of people from different countries and backgrounds. Artists printers students curators a director and a doctor participated. Each person was invited to make a linocut on the theme of 'Another Day in Paradise'. No images were edited. One book was printed for each participant." The book is lg. 8vo bound in coarse linen with no titles untrimmed edges. Condition vg; the binding has been slightly distorted by the laying in of a linocut described below. No text in the book other than that quoted above. Attwood whose blindstamped chop-mark appears on the above-quoted limitation page was certified a master printer by Albuquerque's Tamarind Institute about this time; he was soon to return to his native South Africa to found the Artists' Press which arguably has become as important to printmaking in Africa as Tamarind is in the U.S. Famous South African artist Erika Hibbert currently published there by Attwood contributes to this book in what may be her first appearance. Also appearing are Rebecca Schnelker Tamarind curator since 1978 and co-compiler of the Tamarind catalog raisonne; Garo Antreasian Tamarind's first director; Jeff Ryan who with Attwood helped invent the technique of dry lithography; Rita Deanin Abbey author Edward Abbey's second wife who still exhibits in Santa Fe; Bill Lagattuta shop manager at Tamarind; Jaune Quick-To-See Smith a Flathead-Shoshone artist whose work is in much demand; Pawel Frackiewicz who heads the Academy of Fine Art in Wroclaw Poland; Marge Devon a director of Tamarind; Mary Ristow who had a solo show in 1999; Jose Rodriguez now a well-known plein-air painter; Valerie Arber whose work inhabits the Rule Gallery in Denver and about 20 others. This copy apparently belonged to contributor Martha Slaymaker who is exhibited in the Albuquerque airport among many other places and was a fine artist in many media. Her son now runs the company she founded Slaymaker Fine Art Ltd. Laid in are 2 extra copies of her litho and also her original linocut the piece of linoleum itself. Interestingly she SIGNED the linoleum but faintly so her name cannot be seen on the printed versions. Mark Attwood hardcover

ref. 11058Two formats 190 x 152 mm. & 150 x 365 mm. Oguni machi Kotamagawa å°å›½ç”ºå°çŽ‰å·: 1865-67. This archive describes the manufacture and regulation of yamajio mountain salt in the town of Oguni machi on the Tama River in the mountainous area of Yamagata Prefecture north of Niigata. The onsen springs of the town are rich in minerals and were used to manufacture salt for local and regional inhabitants. Today there are very few producers of mountain salt due to the laborious process but it is highly valued by connoisseurs of salt for its delicate taste. Our archive consists of: 1. Manuscript drawing 243 x 327 mm. showing the process of spraying the water on well-ventilated racks covered with branches of the shiba 柴 tree. This allowed the mineral-rich water to slowly drip into a large deep basin. The gathered water would then be boiled down leaving salt crystals. 2 & 3. The first two notebooks 10 & 5 leaves dated February and August 1865 contain details of production of the salt and names of those involved. 4. This notebook 11 leaves dated February 1865 is entirely devoted to the business of making and selling salt with records of quantities sellers and buyers prices received etc; 5. A document 14 leaves from the local magistrate's office dated February 1865 gives the names of salt manufacturers. 6. A notebook 5 leaves produced by the local magistrate's office regarding the sale and distribution of salt to many wholesalers in the city of Yonezawa with their seals dated October 1866. Somewhat stained but very legible. 7. Dated 1867 this notebook 8 leaves describes in great detail the process of saltmaking with descriptions of tools and other equipment techniques etc. unknown
