Shakespeare Weekend 

This week we present Shakespeare’s tragedy, Julius Cesar, the eighth volume of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. Julius Cesar was likely produced around 1599 and was first printed in the folio of 1623. 

This edition of Julius Cesar was illustrated by the famous Belgian illustrator and wood-engraver Frans Masereel. He was an obvious choice for an illustrator; before this project he had illustrated “dozens upon dozens” of books. Including the Limited Editions Club edition of Notre Dame de Paris, 1930. 

In a note on illustrating this text, Masereel explains the necessity for an artist to adjust their “style” to harmonize with a text. 

I cannot imagine how an artist can illustrate books all his life without changing his ‘style.’ While retaining as basis his own methods of expression, the artist must therefore enter as closely as possible into the spirit of the work that he is to embellish with pictures.  

He ends his note in the same tone saying “I have...endeavored to suggest the spirit of the drama... by the plastic means at my command. I have thus desired to accomplish a work that would harmonize with the art of typography.”

The volume was printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish. Each of the LEC volumes of Shakespeare’s works are illustrated by a different artist, but the unifying factor is that all volumes were designed by famed book and type designer Bruce Rogers and edited by the British theatre professional and Shakespeare specialist Herbert Farjeon. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.

7 months of carving coming to an end, I lost some details and added some. I love and need to see the prints, but honestly, the block is the final art piece for me. It’s what I spend all my time with and each one has a segment of my life attached with it.

burying the hatchet / reflections on home

i was not given an opportunity when i was twelve to properly say goodbye or grieve the home i had lived in for my entire life up until that point. my mother and i had to move suddenly due to certain circumstances, and i was not able to pack my things. i was not able to have a say in what came with us or what was left behind. eight years later, i revisited my childhood home when my father suddenly passed, causing me to inherit the farm. so much was left untouched and in disarray. it was upsetting to see something you cherished so much, be ruined by the one person who said they cared they most about that farm. i took these pictures july 2022 for archival purposes

using the process of relief printing: i am taking my own photograph, i am carving it into my block. and i am recreating it. reimagining it. i am taking control. i am saying goodbye the way i wanted to

It’s Fine Press Friday! 

This week we bring you, Lucifer, a poem by English philosopher, novelist, and poet, John Cowper Powys (1872-1963), with illustrated headers by Scottish wood engraver, illustrator, and painter, Agnes Miller Parker (1895-1980), and  published in London by Macdonald & Company in 1956 in an edition 560 copies signed by the author. The poem is written from the perspective of Lucifer himself as he contemplates his fall from Heaven which was caused by his own arrogance. 

Agnes Miller Parker created six small wood engravings as headers to each of the six parts of the poem. The impressive linework and the amount of narrative packed into these small prints speak to the artist’s great skill in the medium.  This book was made and printed in Great Britain by Purnell and Sons, and is quarter bound in blue leather with light-blue book cloth over boards and gold foil-stamped spine title and floral design on the front cover.

Becoming Animal

This was the main part of my thesis from last year, an exploration of my experience growing up being encouraged to leave behind the connection to nature I had as a kid, and now my journey into reforming that connection.
