This volume contains all the surrealist and abstract engravings from Buckland Wright's life in Paris during the mid 1930s, produced while working at Atelier 17 with Stanley Hayter, Picasso and others, and in London during and just after the Second World War; his son Christopher has written about the work, its thematic, stylistic and technical development, as well as the wider context of the associations and influences upon his father's engravings. In addition the book also contains the correspondence, mostly between the artist and his wife Mary, from the period of their escape from France at the outbreak of war, the time of their settlement and hardship during the war period in London (when JBW worked initially at a camouflage unit with Hayter, Penrose and Trevelyan, then as a censor for Reuter's) and subsequently it relates the experience of JBW when he returned to Paris after the war to salvage their flat and its remaining contents. These letters provide a marvellous first-hand glimpse of the effects of the war upon Paris, which JBW felt had changed very much for the worse.

During eight years from 1913, Wadsworth produced over 50 woodcuts, and, from 1919, five lithographs, a couple of etchings, and 23 copper engravings for the book Sailing-ships and Barges of the Western Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas. The woodcuts are of great interest in themselves and also because of the variety of subjects that caught Wadsworth's imagination: harbours, the industrial valleys of his childhood, the Greek island on which he was stationed during the war, the dazzle-camouflaged ships, and the Black Country. For each subject he found a distinctive artistic language that was rarely used elsewhere. Nearly half the woodcuts are in colour - two, three or four printings. The book includes 49 colour reproductions of them (seven variants of one woodcut alone).

Gertrude Hermes RA (1901-1983) was well-known for the range and diversity of her work. She was a sculptor as well as a wood-engraver, and she also produced colour prints, both lino and wood-cuts. This book, however, concentrates on her work as a wood-engraver, reproducing in a generous format virtually the whole of her output. In the opinion of Simon Brett, who is one of the contributors to this volume (the other is Bryan Robertson), 'her prints stand in the history of British modernism alongside the paintings of Nicholson and the sculpture of Moore and Hepworth.' The influences on her work included artists such as Brancusi, Gaudier-Brzeska and Leon Underwood, the tensions in her own life, and the organic world about her (plant forms, fishes, birds). Many of her engravings were used to illustrate expensive volumes published by private presses; others appeared in the Penguin Illustrated Classics, sold in the late 1930's for sixpence.

John Bewick was perhaps the earliest designer-engraver to work in England. His great popularity resulted from the illustrations he produced for some 60 titles - mainly children's books - during a tragically short working life, yet his achievements have been largely overshadowed by the monumental talents of his brother Thomas. Nigel Tattersfield's long needed study, drawing as it does on unpublished correspondence, Bewick's ledger of commissions, and investigation of the extensive collection in the British Library, will finally establish John as a major engraver in his own right. Its is also a most handsome volume, superbly set in Justin Howes' new digitalized version of Caslon's glorious type: Founder's Caslon.

12907 TUER, Andrew W. BARTOLOZZI AND HIS WORKS. A biographical & descriptive account of the life and career of Francesco Bartolozzi... Second edition, revised and corrected with additional matter.

Such sources as we have been able to consult state this edition to have been limited to 500 copies and Leavis ( Descriptive bibliography of books in English relating to engraving) offers no guidance, indeed does not even record this second edition. The copy we offer also lacks the 2 pages of advertisements. We deduce the lack of a certificate of limited, and perhaps also the adverts, may be explained by the presence of a presentation inscription on the front free endleaf: `Miss Kath Ashley with the compliments of the author, And. W. Tuer' and a further ms. note which is probably in Tuer's hand: `Presentation copy, with extra frontispiece inserted.'
