[Design Binding] [Gallagher, Brenda] Brown, George Mackay | woodcuts by Michael OnkenBiblio.com

The Girl from the Sea

réf. 9379Old Stile Press 2009. Full Leather. Near Fine binding. Folio. 56 pp. illus. Limited edition number 193 of 195 copies signed by Onken at the colophon. A skilled and imaginative design binder and a graduate of the American Academy of Bookbinding fine binding program Brenda Gallagher has engaged with this modern telling of a story that comes from a long tradition of Celtic and Norse selkie stories. Full bound in green goat with onlays in fish leather that capture the movement of the waves in green blue and gray. Gallagher's binding wonderfully complements the tale both thematically and artistically as her bold stylized cover shares a harmony with Onken's woodcuts. But even subtler details bring this text and binding together like her skillfully woven silk endbands and the painted top-edge a lovely sea-green with the suggestion of vegetation as though looking down on the top-edge of the book is to look down into the sea. Housed in clamshell box. A finely printed and illustrated selkie story written by Brown in 1984 and first published here by the Old Stile Press. The cuts by Onken are beautifully done and are indispensable in conveying this story of a selkie who has been separated from her seal skin by a fisherman trapping her in her human form. Perhaps the most striking of Onken's cuts is only found on the publisher-issued binding as a pictorial pastedown on the front board. Gallagher whose engagement with this text is not limited to the binding relays the tale of disappointment when purchasing this book unbound and necessarily without this woodcut—perhaps the woodcut that resonated with her the most. Since the printer had no extra copies of the illustration Gallagher was driven to locate and contact Onken who had neither print nor the block from which the illustration was printed. Instead he offered to lend her a good drawing of the image. From this image Gallagher cut her own linoleum block and printed the illustration remarkably true to the original. That print serves as the front fly leaf in her binding—a one of one lino print. An exceptional designed binding by an American binder coming into her own. Old Stile Press unknown

Original promotional leaflet for the Magdeburg stop of the international exhibition "Fotografie der Gegenwart" Contemporary Photography organized by the Folkwang Museum Essen in conjunction with the Magdeburg exhibition office and curated by Kurt Wilhelm-Kästner. Playing a key role in cementing photography's role within modern art and visual culture the exhibition was originally shown at the Museum Folkwang in Essen and later in Hannover Berlin Dresden Magdeburg and London among other locations. In particular it highlighted the achievements of Neue Sachlichkeit and "Neues Sehen" with its connections to the Bauhaus.

NATIONALISM AND INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING - MAPS AND VISUAL COMMUNICATION Cesta k hospodářské obrodě ČSR The road to Czechoslovakia's economic recovery

réf. 54527Brno: self-published 1935. Oblong quarto 21.5 × 30 cm. Original pictorial wrappers; 100 1 pp. With fifty illustrations mostly maps printed in blue black and red a few reproductions from photographs. Additional graphs and charts throughout. Signed and inscribed by the author to Adolf Benš. Very good. A striking work of infrastructure cartography and visual communication by architect and urban planner Bohuslav Fuchs 1895-1972 with Zdeněk Rossmann's design throughout in red and black and the maps and plans printed mostly in blue and red. With Fuchs's dedicatory inscription to the functionalist architect Adolf Benš dated 1951. This study by Fuchs and the architect Jindřich Kompošt was a response to the call to lift the country out of the 1930s economic crisis through a progressive system of transportation infrastructure. By the late 1920s a modern internal transportation infrastructure for Czechoslovakia was being considered with the aimr of increasing the role of automobile transportation which the existing network of roads no longer accommodated. The need for new long-distance roads and a new form of road was further compounded by the absence of roads connecting lands that had not been strongly historically linked: the very lands that made up the new country in 1918. Yet this grandiose project did not acquire its specific contours until 1935 when the first studies were drawn up by two independent teams of planners. The study of the first group led by engineer Stanislav Bechyně designed the Plzeň - Košice national road to take the shortest route meaning through the middle of the country. The authors of the second plan Brno architects Fuchs and Kumpošt designed the trunk road from Cheb via Košice all the way to Chust in Carpathian Ruthenia. This would consist of two roads a "northern" and "southern" route. The northern route was to provide a transportation route for key centers of heavy industry and would lead to Košice via Hradec Králové Zlín and LevoÄa. The southern route was intended to help bring economic prosperity to regions with an inadequate network of roads and led around Plzeň through TřebÃÄ Hodonín Banská Bystrica and Rožňava. "Both plans were enthusiastically received by the Czechoslovak public but state officials rejected them claiming that it would mean the use of an extremely high amount of public funds for something that was not all that urgent" Bartlová Building a State: The Representation of Czechoslovakia in Art Architecture and Design 2016. One of 600 copies. Rare; as of August 2024 KVK OCLC show two copies outside the Czech Republic one in the UK and one in North America. unknown

MITSUKOSHI MITSUKOSHI TIMES & OSAKA MITSUKOSHI 44 ISSUES

1908réf. 884571908. DESIGN Sugiura HISUI designer. MITSUKOSHI; MITSUKOSHI TIMES; OSAKA MITSUKOSHI Tokyo & Osaka 1908-1923. Western-style magazines 24.9 x 18.4 cm decorated wrappers. Lovely covers most by Sugiura Hisui 1876-1965 or designed under his supervision. Hisui is the most important figure in the development of Japanese commercial art in the 20th century the progenitor of "Taisho Chic" and a force to be reckoned with as a practical designer at Mitsukoshi and an educator at the Japan School of Art the Imperial School of Fine Art and the Tama Imperial School of Art which he co-founded. He even spent two years in Europe in the early 20s researching design. He created many portfolios of design examples for professionals wrote treatises on the principles of design and was a tireless creator of posters and magazine covers. He began work at Mitsukoshi in 1908 as a design consultant in charge of cover art for the house organ MITSUKOSHI TIMES. When MITSUKOSHI magazine began in 1912 he had already been promoted to head of design for the company a year earlier and stayed in that position for decades. His artwork graced the covers of many magazines over the years but it was his work for MITSUKOSHI and MITSUKOSHI TIMES and OSAKA MITSUKOSHI that began his design career. We are offering here a group of issues of those magazines most with his brilliant cover art. The magazines as a form of trade catalog and guide to fashion for the well-heeled clientele of Mitsukoshi department store were intrinsically ephemeral. They are hefty magazines a vade mecum for the bon ton with pictures of summer frocks kimono fabrics morning coats shoes - with instructions on how they should be cleaned stored worn. With pictures and prices and order sheets. Useful and used then thrown away they are seldom found today. A gathering of this size is quite unusual especially as it begins with issues of MITSUKOSHI TIMES from 1908 - the year that Hisui took over design reponsibilities for the house organ. The issues: MITSUKOSHI TIMES 11 issues from 1908-13 Oct & Nov Meiji 41 1908; V.8 #s 4 & 6; V.10 #s 9 & 11; V.11 #s 4 7 11 & 14 V.12 #3.

[Design Binding] [Glaister, Donald] McMurray, Mark (ed)Biblio.com

Calyban's Wood Type Whimsy. Volume 1: Numerology of Wood Type

réf. 9402New York: Caliban Press 2020. Full Leather. Fine binding. Tall octavo. 3 blanks 44 2 prospectus 3 blanks ll. Limited edition number 5 of 100 copies signed by McMurray. Originally issued by McMurray in a spiral binding with heavy printed wrappers; the printer notes that this was "printed on various scrap papers found at Caliban Press over time. Canada China England France Germany India Japan Mexico Nepal and Spain are all represented-including Papeterie St-Armand." It includes fold-outs a volvelle and slide-outs. This copy is finely bound by Donald Glaister in full goat skin with onlays of laminated mylar and sanded and painted aluminum on the front and back boards. There are also recessed areas on both boards with acrylic painted lines at some perimeter edges. Polished top-edge with silk endbands; painted cork endpapers. The leaves original covers and prospectus have been mounted on guards with a portion of the perforations from the spiral binding still visible with intention a way in which Glaister is engaging with McMurray's style and playfulness that present throughout this specimen book. Even the clamshell box holding the book has a compartment containing the original red spiral a toy begging to be played with. McMurray describes this type specimen of numerals as a way to document a collection of more than 4 dozen cases and around 75 fonts. It became evident that a complete catalogue was far too expansive for a single volume so this the first volume was just numerals. Far from a straightforward specimen book McMurray's playfulness and humor engage the viewer throughout. And engaged Glaister in his design. He writes in his artist's statement: "Mark McMurray has compiled a wonderfully designed collection of families of numbers from his collection. The is almost without words only numbers . . . The design for the binding is as simple and as complicated as the binary system. A '1' and a '0' on each cover is all there is. However these numbers are presented differently subtly richly and with great care as to their design and positions. These forms and qualities are a mirror of the text within." A wonderful book beautifully bound by one of the premier designer bookbinders in the country. Caliban Press unknown
