Description
1940. New York: [Lee A. Ault & R. C. von Ripper], 1940. Huge folio, [50] pp. text and illustration engraved throughout on folded leaves, separated with tissue guards, in stiffened wrappers with an additional suite of 22 plates (lacking some?), together in the original cloth portfolio and card slipcase. Together with seven sheets of proof plates and a folder of five related press clippings bearing the printed label of Monica McCall, Inc. Wrappers lightly toned, portfolio worn and splitting, slipcase considerably worn and stained and lacking spine panel, plates themselves are very good throughout with only a hint of age-toning to the outer margins. ß Copy V, signed by Von Ripper and Muriel Rukeyser, one of three Rives paper with a suite of etchings on Velin de Normandie, from a total edition of 67 copies. This copy belonged to Muriel Rukeyser, who has extracted some of the suite of prints (they now number 22) and added seven proof sheets (some showing and annotating alternate inking options) as well as a small collection of related press clippings gathered for her by Monica McCall, her literary representative and sometime lover. An important collaboration between Rukeyser and the Austrian-born surrealist etcher, Rudolph von Ripper (1905-1960), on the eve of America's entry into the Second World War. Rukeyser's poem looks to the legacy of John Brown, the militant abolitionist of the 1850s, and celebrates the possibility of spiritual renewal through resistance to injustice. It first appeared in the June 1940 edition of Poetry Magazine. Here, the poem is fully engraved and illustrated with original etchings by von Ripper and interleaved with the etched verses of the old Civil War marching song. By the time Von Ripper was engaged on this project he was only 35 but had already fought for the French Foreign Legion, been imprisoned and tortured by the Gestapo, and been wounded while fighting on the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War. His direct, physical experience of the rise of fascism is evident in his visceral, Goya-like etchings. The series was exhibited in the Bignou Gallery in New York in 1941. A contemporary review described it is "an unusal undertaking, brilliantly executed, the drawings forming not so much illustrations or decorations as actual parts of the poem. Realism, symbolism, powerful design, and dramatic presentment mark these plates which form a distinguished piece of bookmaking.

Old half red morocco, rebacked preserving original gilt-pannelled backstrip, marbled sides and endpapers, top edges gilt, bookplates. Binding worn at extremities with small losses to marbled paper, internally very good with portrait offset onto title page, some browning and scattered foxing but with plates and margins generally clean. ß First edition, large-paper copy with the portrait of William Vincent on India paper. A respectable copy of this important color plate book. The first plate in the second volume "Aymer de Valance" is in the first state (signed "Mackenzie"), which suggests a first issue copy (see Abbey). Altogether there are 83 plates by 16 different artists including Mackenzie, Pugin, Villiers, Bluck and others. The depiction of light through the stained glass windows and slanted across the cathedral's monuments is particularly lovely. "There is no doubt that Ackermann considered Westminster Abbey the supreme example of his taste and achievement" (Ford, Ackermann 1783-1983, p.41). Abbey, Scenery, 213.
