rif. B92766-1Oberlin Polemic Society of Western Reserve University 1959. 252 x 523 mm. 10 x 20 5/8 inches. The woodcut is the dust jacket for the issue printed in black on heavy uncut wove stock and continuing onto flaps under both covers; within the composition the title of the journal is printed in dark red. The issue itself is 134 2pp. with 10 original prints hors texte mostly in color or on colored stocks. 4to. Wraps. In her catalogue raisonné of Lichtensteins prints Mary Lee Corlett discusses the two woodcuts Lichtenstein made for Polemic in 1957 and 1959 hand-printed by a commercial printer on a letterpress. For a brief time in the late 1950s Lichtenstein was a latecomer to the abstract expressionist style. This is visible in his last two prints of that decade. Both were made for Polemic a literary-art journal published by the student council at Adelbert College Western Reserve University now part of Case Western Reserve in Cleveland Ohio. No edition size is stated but it is known that 2000 copies were printed of the 1958 issue. Woodcut slightly darkened at the spine of the dust jacket with small clean tear at foot; a fine copy quite superior to that illustrated in Corlett.

Spine just slightly and evenly darkened a breath of rubbing to rear joint mild foxing to a few of the inserted plates but A VERY FINE COPY--the text clean and fresh and the most attractive binding with virtually no signs of wear. This is a handsomely bound and extra-illustrated history of one of England's most celebrated stately homes Holland House here minutely described with all its furnishings and grounds along with numerous anecdotes of its distinguished inhabitants. Located in Kensington which today has long been engulfed by greater London the mansion began life as Cope Castle built beginning in 1607 by Sir Walter Cope. From Sir Walter the manor passed to his daughter Isabel wife of Henry Rich who became the first Earl of Holland in 1624. Like the king to whom he was loyal Rich was beheaded in 1649. Later in the century Holland House was rented by William Penn and in 1767 it was bought by Henry Fox first Lord Holland 1705-74 who held the position of leader of the House of Commons. In its day Holland House hosted the leading lights of Europe including Byron and the future American president James Monroe. Our author Princess Marie Henriette Norberte of Liechtenstein 1843-1931 was motivated to write these memoirs by her friendship with the widow of the fourth Lord Holland. The very attractive binding is the work of French-born binder Lucien Broca 1829-1910 who immigrated to London in 1875. According to Tidcombe's "Women Bookbinders" Broca was a "superb trade finisher" who originally worked for Antoine Chatelin then went into partnership with German émigré Simon Kauffmann from 1876 to 1889. Tidcombe and Sarah Prideaux's former pupil Katherine Adams believe that most of the bindings attributed to Prideaux between 1890 and 1900--some 290 volumes--were actually done by Broca with Tidcombe giving the Frenchman credit for the "best Prideaux bindings." Prideaux never publicly acknowledged his work perhaps for fear of disappointing fans of the most famous woman bookbinder in England. Broca was in business for himself as an "Art Binder" in 1901 and our binding was probably done about that time. The beauty of the present design is dependent on his perfection of finish--crispness of line and solidity of impression were Broca's hallmarks. Macmillan and Co unknown books
