1917ref. 398817Glasgow Scotland 1917. Fine. Original lithograph printed in black approximately 18" x 14" on wove paper with full margins 24" x 16". Fine. Signed by Muirhead Bone in the bottom margin. A distinguished Scottish artist Bone was nicknamed the "London Piranesi" for his ability to depict vast and complex construction sites cathedrals and shipyards. On the outbreak of the World War the War Propaganda Bureau recruited him in May 1916 as Britain's first official war artist. After completing a series of drawings on the Western Front including the Battle of the Somme Bone returned to London to document the war effort. A fine example from his World War I scenes of shipbuilding yards. unknown
1904ref. 18971904. Very good. Drypoint printed in brownish black ink on fibrous laid Japon paper 3 3/8 x 6 5/16 inches 85 x 161 mm full margins. Signed in pencil lower right. Light age tone and minor cockling. A lovely impression of this rare image with excellent burr. During the First World War the British War Propaganda Bureau appointed Bone as the first official British war artist in May 1916. Bone had lobbied hard for the establishment of an Official War Artists scheme and in June 1916 he was sent to France with an honorary rank and a salary. Although thirty-eight years old at the outbreak of war Bone was spared from certain enlistment by his appointment. Bone's small black and white images and their realistic intensity reproduced well in the government-funded publications of the day. Where some artists might have demurred at the challenge of drawing ocean liners in a drydock or tens of thousands of shells in a munitions factory Bone delighted in them; he was rarely intimidated by complex subjects and whatever the challenge those who commissioned his work could always be sure that out of superficial chaos there emerged a beautiful and ordered design. Commissioned as an honorary second lieutenant Bone served as a war artist with the Allied forces on the Western Front and also with the Royal Navy for a time. He arrived in France on 16 August 1916 during the Battle of the Somme and produced 150 drawings of the war before returning to England in October 1916. Over the next few months Bone returned to his earlier subject matter producing six lithographs of shipyards on the Clyde for the War Propaganda Bureau's Britain's Efforts and Ideals portfolio of images which were exhibited in Britain and abroad and were also sold as prints to raise money for the war effort. unknown

CCPB000223847-0 Luis Basols y Bastons en religión fray Luis de Olod o de Olot Olot 1720-8 de mayo de 1794 fue un fraile capuchino y calígrafo español. Hijo de un tintorero fue bautizado en la parroquia de San Esteban de Olot el 1 de febrero de 1720.1 En abril de 1735 tomó el hábito capuchino con el nombre de Luis de Olod.2 Tenía un hermano de nombre Francisco Basols y Bastons que corrió con la financiación de la dos ediciones de su Tratado del origen y arte de escribir bien en el que también aparecen en los preliminares un Valentín de Olod predicador en el convento de capuchinos de Barcelona firmante de una de las aprobaciones y Esteban de Olod provincial de la Orden en Cataluña y quien otorga la licencia para su impresión que Cotarelo creyó que podría tratarse de otro hermano o de un pariente.3 Según se desprende de los datos biográficos que él mismo facilitó en su obra y por los lugares donde van fechadas las láminas se sabe que en 1760 y 1761 residía en el convento de capuchinos de Figueras del que pasó al de Gerona y más adelante al de Barcelona en el que se encontraba al salir la primera edición de su libro en 1766 desempeñando el cargo de bibliotecario. Para abrir los grabados de las láminas quejándose de la escasez de grabadores en España y recordando que José de Casanova reprochó a los grabadores haber deslucido las suyas recurrió al italiano Giovanni Petroschi 1715-1766 de quien tenía buenas referencias y le envío veinte muestras de las veinticinco que finalmente salieron publicadas pero tampoco quedó satisfecho con el resultado pues se las devolvió decía "tan desfiguradas imperfectas y ajenas del original que á no conocerlas por la materia las desconociera en la forma". De las restantes una lleva la firma del grabador catalán Francisco Boix.3 En cuanto a la calidad de su escritura Manuel Rico recoge un testimonio muy negativo que le atribuye gran responsabilidad en la decadencia del arte de escribir con su "desordenada y ridícula letra pseudo-redonda".4 Cotarelo le reprocha falta de originalidad encontrando únicamente de interés las explicaciones sobre el origen y formación de la letra bastarda moderna o pseudorredonda que para Olod era la más perfecta5 y si como calígrafo no demuestra gran habilidad según Cotarelo mejora como adornista "al menos sus ángeles y pájaros están hechos con mayor gracia y aun los lazos y giros que rodean su retrato no desagradan á la vista".6 Para Galende por último el mayor interés se encuentra en el capítulo final en el que se ocupó de la criptografía escritura secreta o idiografía con la descripción teórica y práctica del sistema de sustitución simple.2 Las ideas pedagógicas que se pueden espigar en el tratado aun no siendo un tratado de pedagogía han sido estudiadas por Sabaté que las tacha de conservadoras: el primer fin del maestro ha de ser la enseñanza del temor de Dios para que sus alumnos salgan aprovechados en virtud letras y urbanidad.7 Padre y director espiritual el maestro ha de basar su trato con los alumnos en el amor al modo como el párroco con sus feligreses lo que implica también suavidad y paciencia antes de aplicar los castigos no dejándose llevar por la cólera y valiéndose como estímulo de los premios mejor que de la vara que tiene por acción servil que en nada aprovecha aunque no descarta otros castigos físicos como poner al alumno de rodillas con los brazos en cruz.8 1 "Tres-cents anys del naixement de fra Lluís d'Olot" El Cartipas Edició: Institut de Cultura de la Ciutat d'Olot i Arxiu Comarcal de la Garrotxa n.º 126 febrero de 2020. 2 Galende Diccionario biográfico español. 3 Cotarelo 1913 p. 115. 4 Rico 1903 p. 128. 5 Cotarelo 1913 p. 116. 6 Cotarelo 1913 p. 118. 7 Sabaté 1985 p. 221. 8 Sabaté 1985 pp. 222-223.
