ref. 156588London: 4AD 1989. Three early never-issued alternate artwork proof designs for the classic 1989 album. Developed by British graphic designer Vaughan Oliver with photography by Simon Larbalestier. Unique. In 1980 Oliver and photographer Nigel Grierson formed the graphic design partnership 23 Envelope. In 1982 the duo were invited to create sleeve art for the 4AD record label by co-founder Ivo Watts-Russell. Under 23 Envelope and v23 Oliver would give 4AD one of the most acclaimed and distinguished visual identities of any record label of the 1980s and 1990s designing album art for the Cocteau Twins This Mortal Coil Dead Can Dance Colourbox and the Pixies among many others. Oliver managed the graphic design for the Pixies' entire discography during his lifetime with "Doolittle" being the most celebrated. Photographer Simon Larbalestier is best known for his collaborative work with Oliver under 23 Envelope and v23 and provided photography for all the Pixies albums helping to give the band their distinctive and opulent visual style. "Doolittle" was the first Pixies album for which Oliver and Larbalestier had access to the lyrics which "made a fundamental difference" according to Larbalestier and helped determined the photography layout and graphic style. While each of the experimental proofs presented here retain the general overall layout of the released cover each contains both stark and subtle differences. The first proof the most dramatically divergent is printed in a sharp copper with the photograph a pale yellow and the rear cover text a deep blue. The other two proofs experimenting with metallic copper and gold are both notably lighter in tone than the final art but the photograph printed in a gray green is close to Oliver's final design with the rear cover text also in gray-green as opposed to the white of the final design. The layout of the typography is also notably different in all three proofs with the band name much smaller and its accompanying grid nearly indiscernible as is the title placed discreetly above the band's name. Three extraordinary experimental proofs documenting Oliver's process in creating the exceptional art of one of the most celebrated and influential rock albums of all time. 25.25 x 13.75 inches on heavy card stock.

"This new study offers an insight into his work the personality that drove his long career and the fascinating highly-charged social and political backgrounds against which that career was played out." - William Morris Society Magazine Spring 2020 "Correspondence forms forms the backbone of Loxley's recent book Emery Walker: Arts crafts and a world in motion and builds a picture of Walker and the world he lived in." - Hugh Hobbs Lecture Review The William Morris Society Magazine Spring 2021 "Simon Loxley invites the reader to get to know Emery Walker through letters to and from family and friends political comrades artists poets authors and fellow businessmen. In full colour and illustrated with photos and other reproductions on nearly every page the book represents an accessible account of the short-lived but vibrant private press era of Emery Walker and its social and political context." - David Farey Forum: the Journal of Letter Exchange ".as Simon Loxley says Walker himself seems submerged in the catalogue of his achievements. Loxley's aim is to rediscover the man as well as to situate him in the political and cultural world he inhabited. Loxley is responsible for the visual style of the Hammersmith Terrace houses publicity as well as the design of his revealing and well-illustrated book on its previous owner." - Sebastian Carter Journal of the Printing Historical Society This book is an attempt to give a comprehensive sense of Emery Walker as a person along with his career and achievements in part through correspondence with important people in his life. The letters are accompanied by brief biographies of the correspondents and essays that examine some of the key stages and achievements of Walker's career. Walker was a key figure in the world of design typography and printing in the teaching and dissemination of those crafts and in the cultural landscape of late nineteenth and early twentieth century Britain. But the effects of his contributions also spread to the United States and mainland Europe and the ripple of their influence helped determine the design ethos of the twentieth century and beyond. He was called the "Universal Samaritan" his help and advice likened to a vital amenity like water and free of charge. In spite of his enormous influence Walker himself has largely remained in the shadows low-key even in the most notorious dispute in typographic history over the rights to the Doves Press type-the pronouncements and self-justifications of his former partner Thomas Cobden-Sanderson dominated the affair. Simon Loxley's category-defying and highly accessible curation of Walker's life presents him in all his dimensions. His creative and inspirational career is highlighted in separate features: the Kelmscott Press the Doves Press the Ashendene and Cranach Presses and his collaborations with Bruce Rogers: the short-lived Mall Press and the aesthetic triumph of The Odyssey of Homer. His contributions to the design and use of two Greek typeface designs Selwyn Image's Macmillan Greek and Robert Proctor's Otter Type are also examined. Interwoven with these is a selection of 143 letters spanning 60 years most never previously published that gives us a picture of Walker the man in both his professional and personal life. He seemed to "know everyone" and short biographies of the principal correspondents help contextualize the letters. The result is a fascinating picture of Emery Walker his family and friends the people he knew and the times he lived in: times of aesthetic vision social revolution dreamed and actual and world war culminating in a symbolic poignant valediction to Arts and Crafts as the shadow of another conflict loomed. The texts are accompanied by over 140 images many of them once again never before published. Simon Loxley is a graphic designer and a writer on design typography and design history. In addition to this book he is the author of Type is Beautiful: The Story of Fifty Remarkable Fonts Bodleian Library 2016 Printers Devil: The Life and Work of Frederic Warde Godine 2013 and Type: The Secret History of Letters I.B. Tauris 2004. He designed the Emery Walker's House logo and he designed and edited 2006-2016 Ultrabold the Journal of St. Bride Library. He is also the designer of this book.
