In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Fine. Hardcover. One of 250 numbered copies, with a signed linecut portrait of Woolman by Leonard Baskin on the title page and an additional copy of the portrait on Japanese paper, also signed, is laid in. The portrait is based on a drawing done from memory by Robert Smith III. This edition was printed at The… Gehenna Press to memorialize the bicentennial of John Woolman's death in 1772. This is a reprint of Woolman's book that was first published by James Chattin in Philadelphia in 1754. Woolman was a Quaker who advocated the abolition of slavery. This copy is unique in that it was personally bound by master binder Arno Werner for himself, with his label affixed to the front pastedown bearing his initials and his name written there in ink. His beautiful binding is in full brown morocco, with titling in gilt to cover and spine, with blind and gilt rules, and turn-in gilt with an oakleaf roll design. Arno Werner (1899-1995), was a German-born bookbinder who was credited with keeping the craft alive in the United States, His work, often executed in painstakingly hand-tooled morocco leather, was marked by a sturdy yet elegant simplicity. Until 1982 he was chief bookbinder for rare editions at the Houghton Library at Harvard University. A modest man, he quietly spent years working 12-hour days, doing good work, and training fine young people to carry on the craft. His emotional and financial support of former apprentices is legendary. Printed in Centaur and Arrighi types on Fabriano paper, and printed by master pressman Harold McGrath. With marbled endpapers by Arno Werner. The text was completed in 1970 but the afterword by Frederick Tolles was not printed until 1975. Housed in a brown cloth clamshell box with a leather spine with gilt titling. The box is also lined with Werner's marbled papers and has his label with his initials. Inside the box is a letter dated March 1985 to David Block of The Book Block from Bromer Bookselllers saying that they would hold a copy of the Baskin Woolman print for ten days. In fine condition in a near fine clamshell box. Measures 5.5 x 8 inches. 85 pages plus 6 pages printed on blue paper with an afterword on Woolman and slavery. PRI/100224. Signed.

Portfolio spine and lower portion of cover with faint, uneven sunning, a little wear to spine ends, otherwise fine, and the well-protected book inside in virtually perfect condition. This is the wonderfully illustrated Gehenna Press edition of avant-garde poet Hart Crane's famous romantic verses. Crane (1899-1932) composed this series of six poems about falling in love in the early days of his romance with Danish sailor Emil Opffer, with the cycle being initially published in 1926 as the final section of the poet's first major publication, "White Buildings." Literary scholar Brian Reed writes for the Poetry Foundation that "'Voyages' is a 20th-century masterpiece not because its author is queer but because lauding queer love requires a reckless openness to and acceptance of emotions so intense, so fiery, that they burn away your past self. No going back afterward; no underbrush left to hide in. You must consign yourself to the 'harbor of the phoenix' breast,' as Crane puts it in 'Voyages VI,' and trust in rebirth, in poetry, and in love." One of the preeminent American artists of the 20th century, the illustrator (and designer and printer) here, Leonard Baskin (1922-2000), considered himself primarily a sculptor, but he is best known for his woodcuts, book illustrations, and the fine books created at the Gehenna Press, which he founded in 1942, while still a student at Yale. This Gehenna Press production was the second of a series of limited editions put out by the Museum of Modern Art. It was well-received, being selected as one of the "Fifty Books of the Year 1957" by the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Baskin's illustrations are naturalistic and textural, with the spikes of shells, tendrils of seaweed, and raging, swirling wave surfaces exuberantly depicted through Baskin's deft carvings. The illustrations are in constant interaction with the text, both thematically and physically: two are printed on thin tissue, allowing the viewer to read the poem through the illustration. Our copy has the bookplate of Isabel and Charles Goodman, who built a sizable library with a particular focus on book arts and American 20th century private presses. Their donation of more than 1,300 volumes to Isabel's alma mater, Wellesley College, now makes up a large part of that college's Book Arts collection. No. 735 of 975 numbered copies (and 25 lettered copies).

The long poem, along with Baskin's strikingly evocative drawings, combine to make a gripping drama of ritual, transformation, and avian myth. Baskin had previously provided the iconic dust-jacket design for Hughes' Crow (1970). Cave Birds would be their most sustained and intense collaboration.

In den WarenkorbZustand: Fine. Signed limited edition. One of thirty-five deluxe copies bound in vellum, this being copy number two, in a total edition of 130. Signed by Leonard Baskin and editor John Fowles on the colophon. Each deluxe copy includes a suite of nine unbound signed prints by Leonard Baskin and is housed in a bay laurel and cedar… wood box. A Fine copy, illustrated throughout with woodcuts by Baskin. D.H. Lawrence's short novel The Man Who Died was originally published as The Escaped Cock in 1929. Inspired by a visit to Etruscan tombs in 1927, the novel retells the resurrection of Christ to reflect on life, death, myth-making, and "the despairing, almost hectic seriousness with which Lawrence saw mankind's deep-rooted psychological and emotional problems" (Fowles, p. 100). This edition, which is illustrated throughout with the striking, energetic woodcuts of Leonard Baskin, was finely printed by Aaron Johnson at the Yolla Bolly Press using Bembo type on mold-made Somerset paper, with handmade endpapers from the Twinrocker Paper Mill. The elegant vellum binding of the deluxe issue was done by Renee Menge. In his commentary on The Man Who Died, editor John Fowles quotes Richard Adlington's perspective on the novel: "It is intensely personal, and the saddest thing Lawrence ever wrote. It is the only thing in his work that looks like a confession of defeat.The opening part when he describes the mingled agony and gradual happiness in creeping back from death to life is full of pathos; one can't help thinking of his own sufferings as he recovered from one or other of his serious crises. Like much of Lawrence's writing, it has more than one meaning. You can take it as an expression of his latest feelings about Jesus a rejection of Jesus as a teacher, an acceptance of Jesus as the lover.Even when he was struggling with the problem of love and hatred, Lawrence was always a great lover; his deepest and most passionate belief was in love" (p. 101). Fine. Signed.

Housed in a bay laurel and cedar wood box with a plain cross carved into the lid. WITH NINE WOODCUTS BY LEONARD BASKIN. SIG…NED in the colophon by Leonard Baskin and John Fowles. Anthony Burgess, "Flame into Being," pp. 174-78. As new. Expressively illustrated by Leonard Baskin, this is one of five Press Copies of an elegant fine press edition of D. H. Lawrence's provocative novella of the Resurrection. David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) composed "The Man Who Died" (originally titled "The Escaped Cock") in two sections in 1927-28 as he descended into his final illness. In the novel, a resurrected Jesus embraces humanity and the flesh, turning away from his previous teachings to believe that the body is more important than the spirit. DNB tells us that the book is "a work of intense nostalgia for the body," written by the slowly withering Lawrence. That this openly sacrilegious book did not spark more controversy is surprising; Lawrence biographer Burgess suggests it is due to his care never to explicitly name Jesus in the text, or perhaps because "the whole work is so masterly a piece of prose poetry that it has the capacity to disarm even the faithful." Our edition, with its elegantly simple binding and box, both decorated only with a cross, has not shied away from the connection. From 1983-2001, our publishers, Carolyn and James Robertson, created hand-printed works on the finest handmade paper at their press in Covelo, California, adjacent to the Yolla Bolly Wilderness, from which their press obviously takes its name. As noted in the introduction to "Making Books in the Woods," Stanford University Library's 2002 exhibition of the press' works, "the design of each Yolla Bolly Press book is intimately tied to the nuances of the text, and is completed with great attention to craft. . . . The Press commissions original artwork as well as fresh commentaries by contemporary authors to accompany classic texts, offering an 'interpretation of the original text in a contemporary context.'" The text here is accompanied by commentary from writer John Fowles (1926-2005) and a suite of evocative woodcuts by Leonard Baskin. One of the preeminent American artists of the 20th century, Baskin (1922-2000) considered himself primarily a sculptor, but he is best known for his woodcuts, book illustrations, and the fine books created at the Gehenna Press, which he founded in 1942, while still a student at Yale. His woodcuts and sculptures were in the figurative tradition at a time when abstract expressionism was the dominant movement in art; his defense of his style, quoted in his New York Times obituary, seems especially applicable to the etchings here: "Our human frame, our gutted mansion, our enveloping sack of beef and ash is yet a glory. Glorious in defining our universal sodality and in defining our utter uniqueness. The human figure is the image of all men and of one man. It contains all and can express all." Rugged and emotional, these depictions, like the text, depict a raw and human Jesus, using closely cropped compositions and dark, uneven lines to draw out the visceral celebration of humanity in Lawrence's work.
