Seller: Type Punch Matrix

Title: PUGILISTICA JUDAICA
Author: Wakefield, D. R.
Seller: Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Fine in original clamshell.
Description: (Goole, East Yorkshire): The Chevington Press, 2006. First edition. Fine in original clamshell.. Striking limited edition artist's book that contrasts the violent world of prize fighting with the measured, clean format of a fine press book. Pulling from scanty historical sources about the identities of prize fighters in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, D. R. Wakefield presents brief biographical vignettes of 14 Jewish prize fighters during a 55-year period. Through the personal stories of the fighters, Wakefield also throws some light on the culture of prize fighting in the period; and through their heavy, deeply-embossed portraits, he almost simulates the impact of a blow. An enthralling production. 15'' x 10.5''. Original red quarter-goatskin binding with paste paper boards, paper title label to front board and gilt spine lettering. Etched frontispiece with 14 etched portraits and a number of smaller etchings throughout. [22] leaves. Signed by Wakefield to colophon, numbered 14 of 55. In original grey cloth clamshell box, with red spine label. Lower edge of spine label with a touch of rubbing. Clean and tight.

Title: Blake and the youthful ancients: being portraits of William Blake and his followers engraved on wood by Leonard Baskin and with a biographical note by Bennett Schiff
Author: Blake, William. Baskin, Leonard. Gehenna Press
Seller: John Windle Antiquarian Bookseller (United States)
Description: 1956. Northampton, Mass.: Gehenna Press, 1956. Small 4to, [11 inc. the first blank]pp. 18 b/w plates printed on Japan vellum with a title-sheet printed in red on plain paper preceding each image. Stapled into wrappers, very good. § "Fifty copies of this book have been printed by Esther and Leonard Baskin at the Gehenna Press in Northampton Mass." This is copy number "X" which indicates a proof copy since the edition was issued in a quarter morocco binding and this copy is unbound. Six copies are recorded on WorldCat to which add Toronto (Fisher Library) and Essick (CA). Leonard Baskin's note, from the Bibliography: "This was the last book which was made with my hands, that cessation a benefaction since I was a compositor & pressman of no distinction. This book is an homage to Blake & the dear youths who plied him with honour in his late age. My increased skill in woodengraving is here made manifest & a pattern for a kind of Gehenna Press book makes its beginning here; an introduction succeeded by a series of prints. The title-page reveals the novice's poking into historical sources & exemplars.".

Description: 1925. London: Martin Secker, (1925). Original brown cloth, with dust jacket.

This volume is in fine condition except for slight damage to the front endpaper gutter; the dust jacket is near-fine, with a few speckles on the front panel and only very light edge-wear. Roberts A31a. Housed in a two-piece cloth slipcase with leather label.
