Gilbert Baker (June 2, 1951 - March 31, 2017) was a gay American artist, designer and activist, best known as the primary creator of the rainbow flag. In 1972 Baker was living in Chicago as an openly gay man, he was taught to sew by a fellow activist, Mary Dunn, using these skills to create banners for gay-rights and anti-war protest marches. It was also during this time that he met and became friends with Harvey Milk, an influential gay leader, who challenged Baker to create a new symbol of pride for the gay community.

The first rainbow flags were produced by a team that included Baker, seamster James McNamara and artist Lynn Segerblom. Segerblom, who was then known as Faerie Argyle Rainbow, reports to have created the original dyeing process for the flags. Thirty volunteers hand-dyed and stitched the first two flags for the parade. These original flags flew at the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade celebration on June 25, 1978.

Though many variations have emerged in the decades since, the original design had eight stripes, with a specific meaning assigned to each of the colours: Hot pink for “sex”, red for “life”, orange for “healing”, yellow for “sunlight”, green for “nature”, turquoise for “magic” (though sometimes given as “art”?), indigo for “serenity” and violet for “spirit”.

I’m a little late for pride month, but I got all this done a lot quicker than I expected considering I only started working on it at the beginning of June (though I’ve been planning it on and off for a few years now😅). I did a lot of research and planning for each piece, and there was a lot I wanted to communicate with the project as a whole - it’s been a lot of work, and I challenged myself with a bunch of stuff I’m not familiar with, but I’m really happy with how everything turned out.

Happy pride, everyone, here’s to our community, to all the work that got us here, and to all the progress still to come! 🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍⚧️

The bisexual flag is a silent symphony of colors celebrating a powerful symbol of the beautiful complexity of loving across spectrums. To all my fellow bi folks: we are valid, we are loved, our love is beautiful, and our vibrant hearts are a gift to the world.

Shakespeare Weekend

Shakespeare’s comedy, Love’s Labour’s Lost, is volume 20 of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. There is some evidence that Love’s Labour’s Lost is one of Shakespeare's earliest works, likely performed in 1595. It was printed in quarto in 1598 by the bookseller Cuthbert Burby. The play was later printed in the first folio in 1623.

The illustrator, is the Austrian-Argentine painter Mariette Lydis (1887-1970). Lydis traveled the world and lived in many different countries for extended periods of time, including Italy, America, England, Russia, and France aside form her home countries. She received no formal training in art but was inspired by the people and places she visited. She did many drawings during her travels, some being done in prisons and asylums, which reveal her interest in the humanity. Lydis became a very successful artist and illustrator, illustrating over forty books. Though she was a highly competent engraver and lithographer she produced these drawings in crayon and wash, which are reproduced here as collotypes in black and grey inks. Lydis lived openly as bisexual, spending her last thirty years of her life with her partner, Erica Marx, in Argentina.

On illustrating Love’s Labour’s Lost, Lydis writes:

“During [a] concentrated reading, the illustrator must visualize [their] creatures from within and without. I dare to say that at this moment the illustration is already done, although no pencil line may have been traced. When an illustrator has read [the] text in this manner, the people, the landscapes and the scenes have become so real to [them], that [they have] almost the impression of drawing from a model.”

The volumes in the set were printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish, and each was 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. The illustrations were reproduced in collotypes by Georges Duval in Paris. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.
