1877réf. 30067London: William H. Harrison 1877. Very Good. London: William H. Harrison 1877. First Edition. Octavo 18.5cm.; publisher's purple pictorial cloth designed by Florence Claxton elaborately embossed in gilt and black all edges gilt black glazed endpapers; iv5-156pp. Cloth a bit scuffed and worn along extremities with brief exposure at corners and spine ends spine cloth faded brief split to rear joint rear hinge cracked but holding textblock slightly shaken in binding else a Very Good bright example. Inscribed on front flyleaf to the American medium "Mrs. Hollis Billing With the kind regards of The Author / November 1879. London." Scarce collection of humorous poems and vignettes by the British author and editor of The Spiritualist. Running in the London Spiritualist circles Harrison would presumably have made the acquaintance of the inscribee American medium Mary Hollis Billing and her husband who served on the 1877 Committee of the Theosophical Society in London. Contents only glancingly Spiritualist though true to form the imprint provides the publication date based on different calendars: A.D. 1877 Popular Chronology; A.M. 5877 Torquemada; A.M. 50800077 Huxley. Like many Spiritualists of the day Harrison was especially interested in photography and several pieces in this volume relate to the art and science of the form. Notably "The Lay of the Photographer" describes in nineteen stanzas the chemical transformations of pyroxylin iodine and silver to develop photographs. Needless to say the poem is not very good. Advertisements for the present work attribute the cover design to British illustrator cartoonist and fringe Pre-Raphaelite Florence Claxton 1838-1920. One contemporary reviewer aptly describes the book as "handsomely-bound and griffin-guarded" Liverpool Daily Courier. William H. Harrison unknown books
réf. 007866London: The Swallow Press 1975. Full leather. This is an exquisite finely bound strikingly unconventionally illustrated edition of The Sonnets by poet playwright dramatist and primus inter pares William Shakespeare. 300 copies were produced thus of which this is number 44 signed on the colophon by Robert Graves who contributes a substantive Preface Edward Burrett the book designer and Clarke Hutton the illustrator. A troika of features distinguish this copy. First is exceptional condition. Second this copy is accompanied by the original publishers prospectus and order form. Third this is a designers presentation copy evidenced by a lengthy signed and dated 1975 gift inscription by Edward Burrett and his wife Cecile on the recto of the blank preceding the half title. Edward Burrett 1909-1995 was a noted specialist and connoisseur in book design a founding member of the Society of Typographic Designers and founding proprietor of the Penmiel Press. This large volume measures 10 x 14 inches 25.4 x 35.6 cm bound in full Niger Morocco goatskin by Sangorski and Sutcliffe the contents printed on laid paper with each of the one hundred and fifty-four Sonnets allocated a single page. The volume is housed in a felt-lined purple and gold paper-covered slipcase featuring an interlocking pattern of swallows which is mirrored on the pastedowns of the book. The Sonnets features 40 illustrations on various tinted papers by Clarke Hutton 1898-1984 one of the most eminent and influential book illustrators of his time. Hutton adds something unique to Shakespeares work which so often comes accompanied by traditional engravings rather than modernist line work. The colophon features the signatures of Robert Graves Edward Burrett and Clarke Hutton below the limitation number 44. The signatures of the book designer Edward Burrett and his wife Cecile are also found beneath their autograph gift inscription. Laid in are the large and beautifully printed publishers prospectus featuring a specimen page and extensive information about the edition. Also laid in is the publishers order form. The volume is in truly fine condition with no appreciable wear or flaws to either the binding or contents. The slipcase remains bright and fully intact with superficial overall scuffing. William Shakespeare 1564-1616 left a cultural and literary legacy whose continuing influence is difficult to overstate. His stature so dominates English letters that it verges on biblical proportion. To the point Shakespeare is often assumed to have been born on 23 April St. Georges Day so that Englands national poet and her patron saint share the same day of celebration akin to how Christs birthday is asserted onto the winter solstice. Shakespeares plays are the most conspicuous aspect of his literary legacy but as Robert Graves states in his Preface Shakespeare built up a double reputation in literature; as a classic English playwright and as author of the Sonnets his profound meditations on love. In the plays we are frequently aware of Shakespeare the poet; in the Sonnets we recognize his role as dramatist. The author of the Sonnets became incomparably greater than his contemporaries precisely because he needed to see himself and his beloved in dramatic and human terms. Robert Graves 1895-1985 was an English poet novelist critic and translator perhaps best known today as a pioneer and master of the historical fiction genre for his Claudius series compellingly fictionalizing the Roman Emperor. Born to a middle-class family with an Irish Gaelic scholar father Gravess early life shaped his love for myth and poetry even as boxing shaped his repeatedly broken nose. In 1913 he received a scholarship to study classics at St Johns College Oxford. However he did not take his place at the university until after WWI; in 1914 he enlisted almost immediately after the outbreak of war joining a regiment which included fellow war poet Siegfried Sassoon.

1976Cartella in cartone rigido cm 22 x 30,5 circa, con apertura a 3 falde. All'interno: fascicolo di pp. 28, dal titolo "Monografia", con storia dei coloranti naturali; pieghevole di 6 facciate con la Cartella colori; foglio ancora intero con 6 cartoncini fustellati (il foglio ha spazi tratteggiati per staccarne le varie parti) con gli Isolatori di colore; 3 fogli sciolti plastificati con illustrazioni in trasparenza con simulatore A e B; 40 cartoncini colorati cm 10 x 29,5 suddivisi in due gruppi da 20 ed inseriti nelle due tasche centrali del raccoglitore (con indicazione dei diversi codici colore). Edizione non venale di questo manuale edito dal Centro Design Montefibre (designer: Massimo Morozzi, Andrea Branzi, Clino Trini Castelli) di cui vennero pubblicate 3 edizioni in anni successivi (1975, 1976, 1977). "Nel 1973 la societa' Montefibre, anche per reagire alla crisi petrolifera e dei suoi derivati, fonda a Milano il Centro Design Montefibre (CDM) che rimarra' in funzione fino al 1977, destinato alla concezione e allo sviluppo di prodotti e servizi innovativi da applicare nel campo del tessile. La direzione del settore moda e' affidata a Elio Fiorucci mentre quella del settore design a Massimo Morozzi, Andrea Branzi e Clino Trini Castelli. Le ricerche del CDM si orientano verso l'individuazione dei fattori immateriali legati ai diversi livelli percettivi che caratterizzano lo spazio e verso il controllo di tutti gli strumenti e i parametri che si pongono all'origine della progettazione tradizionale. Il CDM elabora quindi varie forme scritte con l'obiettivo di diffondere nuovi e piu' efficaci parametri qualitativi e rendere comprensibili alla cultura del progetto e all'interno del processo produttivo, in special modo nell'industria pesante, le ragioni delle scelte riguardanti i colori... con l'intento di divulgare nel mondo industriale la cultura del colore, il CDM tra il 1975 e il 1977 elabora il programma di ricerca "Colordinamo" che ripensa le metodologie progettuali arricchendole di strumenti meta-progettuali, intesi come attivita' d'indirizzo, servizio e supporto nella scelta dei valori cromatici... Le tre edizioni dei manuali "Colordinamo" (Branzi, Trini Castelli & Morozzi, 1975; 1976; 1977) presentano una gamma cromatica di quaranta colori organizzati in famiglie e un apparato operativo, progettato appositamente, costituito da un isolatore e da un simulatore di colore da utilizzare per la comparazione dei colori presenti nella cartella e per la riproduzione industriale delle tinte..." Questi manuali ebbero grande risonanza meritandosi molti articoli su riviste mentre il Colordinamo 1977 fu addirittura insignito del Compasso d'oro. Cfr. Oppedisano, "I colori? Scappano sempre..." in: "Ais/Design. Ettore Sottsass Archives".
