Seller: John Windle Antiquarian Bookseller

Title: The Pastorals of Virgil..
Author: Blake, William. Thornton, Robert John
Seller: John Windle Antiquarian Bookseller (United States)
Description: 1821. London: 1821. 2 vols., small 8vo, xii (-vii/viii), 12, xxiv (-i/iv), 214 pp; [I], [215]-592 pp. With an engraved frontispiece to each volume, and 230 illustrations including 17 woodcuts and 6 engraved plates by Blake, and four other designs by Blake engraved by others. Retrospective early 19th century full calf, red labels, by Court Benson. § A very good copy of a scarce work in any condition as it was issued for use in schools. Blake contributed 17 woodcuts to this volume (as well as 10 other plates, of which he engraved six) which were not well received; nor were they well treated by the publisher who cut down the blocks and printed them poorly. Only a few proofs before they were trimmed are now extant. These blocks have remained amongst the most influential woodcuts in the history of British art and their influence can be seen from Calvert and Palmer all the way up to the present day. The blocks were saved by Linnell and were printed not long after Blake's death as separate impressions (perhaps by Calvert), and again in 1977 as a set by Iain Bain. Any impressions are now hard to find. For a full discussion of this wonderful book, see Essick's masterly monograph A Troubled Paradise... (San Francisco: John Windle, 1999). Bentley, Blake Books, 504. Bindman 602-18. Easson and Essick I, X.

Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)

The book includes his most important essays: “The New Art of Making Books,” “From Bookworks to Mailworks,” “Rubber Stamp Theory and Praxis,” “Rubber Stamp Art,” “Mail Art and the Big Monster,” “Table of Mail Art Works,” “Personal Worlds or Cultural Strategies?” “Bookworks Revisited.” Each has printed notes in the margins, providing clarifications or revealing Carrión’s latest views on a subject. Fine copy. This book is now rather rare on the market. ❧ John Held, Jr., ed., Mail Art: An Annotated Bibliography (1991) 6–”Highly recommended.”.

Title: Announcement card for the Other Books and So exhibition Stamp Art, 200 Artists (27 April-15 May 1976)
Author: CARRIÓN, Ulises
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)

For the present exhibition, Carrión invited 200 artists who employed stamps in their work and displayed their pieces on the walls of Other Books and So (when it was located at 227 Herengracht). In fine condition; nice impressions. From the collection of Guy Schraenen (1941-2018). ❧ Juan J.

Title: Arguments
Author: CARRIÓN, Ulises
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 96 unnumbered pages. Thick 8vo (210 x 150 mm.), semi-stiff printed wrappers. Geneva: Editions Héros-Limite, 2005. The scarce second edition of Ulises Carrión’s famous Arguments (1st ed.: 1973, published by the Beau Geste Press). In the Getty Research Institute exhibition catalogue Artists and Their Books, Books and Their Artists (2018), Zanna Gilbert writes (about the first edition): “Carrión humorously interrogates the structure and content of books and the literary devices used by authors and playwrights. The titular exchanges in Arguments are indicated only by the names of the participants, with no reference to the actual content of their disagreements. The distinctly Anglophone names are arranged in various configurations on each page of the book, leaving the reader to wonder about the substance of the disputes.” As new. From an edition of 750 copies. ❧ U. Carrión, Quant aux Livres (2008), p. 202.
