1945réf. 33330952Waltham Saint Lawrence: The Golden Cockerel Press 1945. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Webb Clifford. One of 500 copies folio size pp. The Golden Cockerel Press came together in autumn of 1920 at a time when post-World War I society was ushering in a renaissance of creative minds including another renaissance of the printing press as the artist's tool similar to that of William Morris and the arts and crafts printers of the previous century. The press worked with many notable artists including Eric Gill Blair Hughes-Stanton Robert Gibbings and the artist for this work Clifford Webb. Clifford Cyril Webb 1895-1972 studied art and is best known today for his wood engravings. He was a founder-member of the Society of Wood Engravers and "was a prominent figure in the group of engravers whobrought about the revival of wood engraving in the 1920s and benefited from the encouragement of Robert Gibbings and the Golden Cockerel Press" n.b. quote from Webb's entry in Horne "The Dictionary of 20th Century British Book Illustrators" p. 437. Per the bibliographical entry for this work "it is surprising that no complete translation of this unique eye-witness account of the First Crusade had ever been published in England before. What the pilgrims did in their fervour of blind fanaticism 'to the glory of God' makes astonishing reading!" ___DESCRIPTION: Bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in half vellum with orange buckram boards gilt vignette on the front board of crusaders on horseback by Clifford Webb top edge gilt frontis one of five full-page wood-engravings bound in throughout small title page wood-engraving also of crusaders on horseback wood-engraving of a cockerel holding a crusader pennant in its beak on p. 9; Poliphilus type on hand-made paper folio size 12 3/8" by 7 3/8" pagination: 1-4 5-92 1 colophon. ___CONDITION: A solid very good copy with clean boards the vellum smooth and without wear a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior is clean and bright and entirely free of prior owner markings; a small mark on the vellum on the back board light overall edgewear the corners bumped but not rubbed. ___CITATION: Cockalorum 168. ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

1989RARE TRILINGUAL HEBREW, ENGLISH & FRENCH LIMITED EDITION of the Torah illustrated by the eminent Jewish artist Abel Pann (born Abba Pfeffermann) (1883-1963), renowned for his paintings and lithographs on Biblical themes.

In 1924 he wrote that he was about to embark on his life-work, the painting and drawing of scenes from the Hebrew Bible. Pann began work on a series of lithographs intended to be published in an enormous illustrated Bible, and although that series was never completed, he is widely admired for the series of pastels inspired by Bible stories that he began in the 1940s. Pann was part of a movement of contemporary Jewish artists interested in Biblical scenes, which included also Ephraim Moses Lilien and Ze'ev Raban, linking the iconography of these works to the 19th century Orientalism. He died in Jerusalem in 1963. The Hebrew text is set in the Vilna font; the English translation is that of The Jewish Family Bible, which appeared in London in 1884; the French translation, prepared by the French Rabbinate, was first published in 1889.

[Design Binding] [Botelho, Camille] Parmenides | Bringhurst, Robert (trans); wood engravings by Richard WagenerBiblio.com

The Fragments of Parmenides & an English Translation by Robert Bringhurst

réf. 10427Berkeley CA: Editions Koch 2003. Full Leather. Fine binding. Folio. 44 pp. frontis plates. Limited edition one of 120 copies this copy out of series; there are also 26 lettered deluxe copies with a suite of 10 engravings. All are signed by Bringhurst Wagener and Peter Koch at the colophon. Bound by Camille Botelho in black box calf with inlays and onlays of dyed calf vinyl snakeskin painted paper mylar laminates and a porcupine quill; hand embroidered endbands; vinyl snakeskin doublures. A fine copy in clamshell box. True to form Peter Koch has produced a marvelous edition of what remains of Parmenides's poem "On Nature." The fragments of the poem are rendered in this opposite page bilingual edition with the Greek on the left and Bringhurst's English translation on the right. The poetry is brilliantly accompanied by Wagner's striking engravings a frontispiece and 4 additional wood engravings in red and orange. Given it survives only in fragments there is some debate as to the "meaning" of the symbolism of Parmenides's poem making it a work ripe for interpretation. But at base his view of reality is one of stasis unchangeable. And while that enduring Greek logic marks the work Wagener introduces remarkably abstract and kinetic illustrations printed in an urgent deep red and orange-projecting anything but stasis. It is the discord between the logical understanding or reality and the emotional understanding of it that spoke to Botelho and informed her design of this incredible binding. She writes: "In the design I thought of Parmenides looking out past shadowy arches from within a dark room to find total chaos beyond. The curve of the Mylar inlay and the curve of the porcupine quill mimic a column marking a threshold beyond which is uncontrolled noise and movement and mess. I wanted the disparity between the smoothness of the box calf and the chaos of the inlays and yellow foiling to be a comment on how frightening examining one's reality can be." Magnificently achieved Botelho has created an exceptional binding that bridges Parmenides and Wagener giving voice to the paradox she sees in this metaphysical conversation on the nature of reality.
