Wood Engraving Wednesday
JOHN LAWRENCE
Once again we turn to the fanciful engravings of English illustrator and wood engraver John Lawrence (b. 1933), this time from a small (4.25" x 3") 1992 Folio Society edition of Robert Browning's version of The Pied Piper of Hamelin, printed at The Bath Press in Bath, England on Fabriano Ingres laid paper. The engravings themselves are only 3" x 2", but they are vivid and richly detailed.
John Lawrence, whose career spans nearly 70 years, is one of England's most-respected living wood engravers. He has illustrated well over 200 books and has taught his craft at the Brighton School of Art, Camberwell School of Art, and Cambridge School of Art from the 1960s to 2010. He has influenced generations of noted contemporary wood engravers, and was himself a student of Gertrude Hermes (view some wood engravings by Hermes we have posted).
Our copy of the Folio Society's Pied Piper is yet another donation from the estate of our late friend and colleague Dennis Bayuzick. The book was originally bound in full moire silk by Hunter and Foulis, but our copy was specially rebound in 2001 by English bookbinder Stephen Conway (see below).

i’m curious… when celliers says “it is beautiful” in the scene towards the end where they’re standing rank, is he referring to yonoi? because the scene before that before it cut to celliers is yonoi 😭
also,, did yonoi use the “imma send a pension to ur wife” as a dark and threatening way to break the news to lawrence, or does lawrence actually have a wife? 💀
thoughts..

wasn't the whole point of the ck showdown that nobody knows about pekka's son except kaz?
I've said this before, but if they are putting in all the soc/ck scenes already, what will they do when those seasons start? but if this was only a taste for the "go on" geldrenner hotel bathroom scene - oh boy, the real one will be good.
also kaz going beserk and the crows worrying is the plot of ck. and the kaz vs all dregs scene??
p.s.: I kind of love show per haskell. he weirdly reminds me of tom conti/john lawrence.
