It's Fine Press Friday!

For today’s Fine Press Friday post, we present yet another book from the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick entitled Jubilate Agno, or Rejoice in the Lamb, with original color woodcut and linocut illustrations by English printmaker Angela Lemaire (b. 1944) and designed and printed between 2011 and 2012 by Nicolas McDowall (1937-2021) at The Old Stile Press in Llandogo, Wales, in an edition of 100 copies signed by the artist. The book consists of writings by Christopher Smart (1722-1771), an English poet who was not well received by his contemporaries, but is held in high esteem today. The text was probably written during Smart’s time in various mental hospitals and is rife with religious references, as his confinement in these hospitals was due to an intense religious fervor that occurred after a time of spiritual desolation in his life. This happened after he “awoke to the reality of Christ’s redemption and forgiveness… [and then] consecrated is life to the glorification of God” (from the Afterword by Angela Lemaire).

In producing the book, Nicolas McDowall was inspired by a viewing of the Gutenberg Bible and is meant to be a tribute Gutenberg and his “magic, moveable type.” Lemaire's images reference Christian biblical manuscripts, with "illuminated" initials containing intricate detailing and animals, along with larger prints that clearly reference biblical motifs, like the print of the letter Alpha with a lamb, referencing both the book’s title and Jesus’s role as the ‘Lamb of God’, and the Omega print at the end, linking back to the Alpha at the beginning and referencing another epithet for Jesus as the Alpha and Omega.

Lemaire, a self-taught woodcut artist and wood engraver, and a member of the venerable Society of Wood Engravers, worked for many years at the Old Stile Press with Nicolas McDowell and his wife Frances. The images in the book were printed directly the original blocks, and the text was printed in Truesdell type on Vélin Arches paper.
