1999CNJL1299London: Enitharmon Press 1999. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Rego Paula. Number 23 of 75 copies of the deluxe edition folio size 46 pp. signed by Blake Morrison and Paula Rego. Paula Rego b. 1935 a native of Portugal studied art at the Slade School London where she now mainly lives and works. This work is based almost unbelievably so on factual history: "the Children's Crusade of 1212 remains an enigmatic historical episode recorded in only a few contemporary accounts but it captured the imagination of the acclaimed painter Paula Rego as a story steeped in imaginative possibilities and contemporary relevance. It touches not only on children's love of adventure but also on darker issues including fears of the unknown incipient sexuality and exploitation. In his introduction Blake Morrison brilliantly illuminates Rego's twelve hand-coloured etchings and their relation to the crusade and the scene is set by two passages from medieval chronicles. The book concludes with an extensive and revealing interview with Paula Rego in which she explains her fascination with the subject." N.B. from the website of the publisher.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original gray linen covered boards with the illustration "Voices II" inlaid to the upper board fore- and tail-edges uncut color printed reproductions of the original etchings tipped in; text has been hand-set in Monotype Caslon printed on Arches Vélin paper folio size 12.75" by 10" pagination: 1-6 7-45 1 colophon limited edition this number 23 of 75 copies of the deluxe edition total edition 190 signed by Blake Morrison and Paula Rego.
