Richett's arranged to have the Vale Press publications printed at the Ballantyne Press as private press books by a carefully chosen selection of compositors, readers, pressmen and binders freed from the everyday demands of the press. [Watry]

Charles Ricketts was a British artist, illustrator, author and printer, known for his work as a book designer and typographer and for his costume and scenery designs for plays and operas. Ricketts first made his mark in book production, first as an illustrator, and then as the founder and driving force of the Vale Press (1896-1904), one of the leading private presses of the day, for which he designed the type and illustrations. A disastrous fire at the printers led to the closure of the press, and Ricketts turned increasingly to painting and sculpture over the following two decades. [Tate]

"From the dust jacket: Paul Rand's stature as one of the world's leading graphic designers is uncontestable. For half a century his pioneering work in the field of advertising design and typography has exerted a profound influence on the design profession; he almost single-handedly transformed "commercial art" from a practice that catered to the lowest common denominator of taste to one that could assert its place among the fine arts. Among the numerous clients for whom he has been a consultant and/or designer are the American Broadcasting Company, IBM Corporation, and Westinghouse Electric Corporation.

Description:
San Francisco: Book Club of California;, 2012. Hardcover. Fine. PAUL FRENZENY. . One of only 425 printed Fine. Artist Paul Frenzeny, a Frenchman of noble descent, strict military training, and encyclopedic knowledge, became one of the leading "special correspondents" in the United States and Europe in the days when woodcuts, rather than photographs, were used to illustrate newspapers. In 1873, Frenzeny undertook a year-long sketching tour of the frontier for Harper's Weekly, with fellow artist Jules Tavernier. This 100-sketch assignment proved to be an irresistible subject for author Claudine Chalmers, who then followed the Frenchmen's careers after their journey's end on the Pacific Coast. As she patiently gathered Frenzeny's subsequent illustrations in the Weekly, Dr. Chalmers discovered that he had depicted San Francisco's Chinese culture in all its pageantry and intensity, at a time when most of the white population, within California and across the country, reviled the pioneering Chinese… Read More

Partially unopened. Minor bump to the bottom corner of the front board, else a fine copy. Very scarce. The decorations were designed by Charles Ricketts (1866-1931), a publisher, designer, and wood engraver who readily embraced the printing revival which propagated the ideals of the arts-and-crafts movement: "The novelty of a book, made during the recent revival, lies in the fact that it shows design in each portion of it, from type to paper, and from 'build' to decoration. Therein lies the difference between a book so understood and any other modern book printed before 1891.". Franklin, p. 81; Ransom, p. 437.

Birmingham and London: G. Napier for Birmingham Guild of Handicraft, 1895. Superbly bound by Frank Garrett (signed in rear dentelle) in tan crushed morocco in a pleasing Arts and Craft style with ornate leaf, vine and blossom pattern featuring tudor roses, on both covers and spine, with onlaid green ringlets also appearing on dentelles. A similar binding was exhibited by the Guild of Handicraft in the A&CES exhibition in 1903, and was featured in the 1909 Yearbook of "The Studio". Some rubbing to edges, spotting to covers, and front upper corner bumped; the text block has been crimped on the upper corners for about the first half of the book, and one page has a significant brown-staining streak that has affected the following couple of pages with a much smaller spot... inlaid green dots on spine faded to brown. If you can put up with the flaws internally, a nice attractive binding on a Shakespeare, and Garrett signed bindings are not common. Scarce.

Description:
London: Moon, Boys, & Graves, 1832. Full Leather. Very Good binding. From the Preface: "The present collection of Shakspeare's Plays differs in arrangement from any that has hitherto been published. The Tragedies, Comedies and Historical Plays are divided; and in each division, the consecutive order of the pieces has reference to the country in which the action is laid, or to the epoch at which it is supposed to have taken place". Certainly a unique approach, coupled with printing of all of the plays as pages octavo in size and arranged consecutively, four on each folio page. Illustrated with 100 engraved plates, including two engraved portraits of Shakespeare. The Moon, Boys & Graves concern obtained the plates from the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery and the dramatic images are "depicted from the powerful pencils of Reynolds, Opie, Northcote, Smirke, Stothard, Westall, Howard, Romney, and others" [Preface]. There are as well numerous text illustrations grouped in 8vo. size. Most of the plates… Read More

Translation by A. Radlova. Preface by K. Derzhavin.
Afterword by M. Morozov.
One of 10 000 copies published.
Signed and inscribed by the translator: "Dorogoi moei Sarushke / ot Annushki. / 20-X-37" [To my dear Sarushka from Annushka. October 20, 1937].
First edition of this translation.
Anna Radlova (1891–1949), a poet, literary salon-holder, and wife of Sergei Radlov, the theatre director, prepared the translation of this book. Her Shakespeare translations of Romeo and Juliet (1933), Othello (1935), and Hamlet (1937) were highly popular in the early 1930s and were used in the theatre productions by her husband in the Leningrad Malyi Theater. Radlova's translations were considered innovative and precise, and Boris Pasternak, the next translator of Hamlet, admired her work for its authenticity. During World War II, Anna and her husband were evacuated from Leningrad to the North Caucasus and later ended up in Germany. In 1945 after returning they were accused of treason. Anna Radlova died in a GULAG.… Read More

"On every standard typewriter, there's a metal bar with a row of teeth spaced exactly one-tenth of an inch apart. In 1874 this famous bar lifted the typewriter from the inventor's bench and placed it in the office where it changed our reading habits, modified our concepts of legibility, and eventually opened the world of business to women."

Description:
London: Unit Editions, 2021. 1st ed. Paperback. New/no dj as issued. A long overdue book examining the extraordinary life and work of artist/designer Ed Fella. Ed Fella is revered by many of the leading names in contemporary design. Now, at long last, there is a book that charts Ed's journey from the commercial design studios of 1950s Detroit to his current position as a widely celebrated artist/designer. Ed Fella: A Life in Images makes extensive use of his vast treasure store of visual delight: it showcases flyers, posters, original sketches, drawings, Polaroids and collages, as well as items from Ed's collection of vernacular design. The book makes unrestricted use of Ed's vast archive. David Cabianca, the book's co-author and its instigator, has surveyed the archive in depth. He writes: "Ed Fella's archive is legion. It branches into numerous streams while sustaining a robust trail of examples along the way. Fella's archive exhausts the possibilities one might find in graphic design. Ed Fella… Read More
