Condition Report Near Fine. The heavy, illustrated stiff paper covers remain exceptionally clean and crisp, retaining their original beige tone with no sunning or discolouration. The extremities show no appreciable wear, the corners are sharp, and the spine is uncreased, indicating the book has seen minimal to no handling. The internal text block is tight and perfectly square. The high-quality textured papers, including Sommerville Laid, Hahnemühle, and Zerkall stock, are bright, entirely free of foxing, and unmarked throughout. All tipped-in plates, halftones, and wood engravings are pristine. The original orange subscription form forÂMatrix 10 remains loosely inserted and immaculate. Catalogue Note This is a first edition of the ninth instalment of the highly regarded Matrix series, limited to an overall print run of 925 copies. As detailed in the colophon, this specific copy belongs to the standard issue of 820 copies bound in stiff covers, distinguishing it from the 105 copies that were quarter-bound in Oasis leather. Set in 12-point Monotype Caslon and printed during August 1989, the volume showcases the exceptional craftsmanship associated with the Whittington Press. It is profusely illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs, line blocks by Keene Engraving, tipped-in plates, and a striking front cover woodcut by Robert Gibbings. As a premier reference for typographers, fine press enthusiasts, and historians of the book arts, early and well-preserved copies of Matrix are highly sought-after and increasingly uncommon on the open market, particularly when retaining their original ephemera. Published annually by the Whittington Press between 1981 and 2020, Matrix stands as one of the most significant and lavishly produced typographic journals of the twentieth century. Number Nine offers a rich compilation of essays, historical insights, and reminiscences, with a heavy focus on the centenary of the birth of wood-engraver Robert Gibbings, the golden age of the Golden Cockerel Press, and a wealth of traditional printing methods. Bringing together scholarly articles, stunning woodcuts, and exquisite paper samples, this volume is both a tactile delight and an indispensable resource for anyone passionate about the art and history of the printed book.
