ST16989London: Willow Press 1982. No. 31 OF 55 COPIES SIGNED by artist and binder Susan Allix. 300 x 230 mm. 12 x 9". 4 p.l. 91 1 pp. 1 leaf colophon. Translated by A. M. Burnett. <br/> WHIMSICAL PICTORIAL MOROCCO BY SUSAN ALLIX stamp-signed on rear pastedown the wrap-around design showing Daphnis and Chloe in blind-tooled brown morocco silhouetted against a blue morocco sea and cream morocco sky beneath the lovers a blind-tooled vine with 11 inlaid or onlaid citron morocco leaves blind-stamped lettering to front cover turquoise blue pastedowns and white free endpapers painted with blue fore edge of front free endpaper cut into wave pattern showing a glimpse of the yellow handmade paper front flyleaf edges untrimmed and lightly brushed with blue paint. In the original felt-lined tan linen clamshell box blind-lettered cream and blue morocco label on back. With etched frontispiece and 20 etchings 14 in color and six in sepia by Allix. As new.<br/> <br/> This is a modern take on the most popular romance of ancient Greece from book artist Susan Allix who is responsible for the binding illustrations and the printing through her Willow Press imprint. The third century pastoral romance was newly translated from the Greek by Andrew M. Burnett and illustrated with etchings based on Allix's travels in Greece. The binding in Allix's words "creates an atmosphere of the sea landscape and figures in the story." Born in 1943 and educated at the Royal College of Art Allix began her career as a printmaker before creating her first hand-crafted book in 1973. Mark Dimunation Chief of the Rare Book Division at the Library of Congress wrote of Allix's work: "her books launch you on a visual journey. Each book is a voyage propelled by color texture image impression and material. . . . Because she insists on creating the entire book--from letterpress to illustration to binding--her work has a certain recognizable aesthetic; a malleable signature that responds to the particular character of a piece but is still unquestionably hers. Allix conceives each book visually. 'I am concerned with visual things so I see books as full of colour and form in a pictorial sense as well as through the images created in my mind by the words and through the sculptural qualities a book possesses.' The real narrative of her books is the flow of color and image as they move throughout the piece.". Willow Press unknown

First Austen illustrated edition of this Greek pastoral romance featuring the Thornley English translation drawn more from a 1605 Latin translation than the Greek original.

1934002243France 1934. First Edition presumed. Wraps made of 18th Century French Vellum Documents. Near Fine. No text with fifteen color lithographed plates of a softcore sensibility with nudity. The only words in the story proper is the title rendered in Cyrillic. The illustrations are far from lewd yet do have a delicious kitschy quality of the second-rate book illustration and they were in their time meant to give the viewer a frisson of excitement from partaking of something mildly naughty and taboo. The illustrations feel anachronistic fitting more squarely in the twentieth century than the classical world being portrayed but perhaps that is also their charm. No one could find the illustrations pretentious or overblown and if nothing else they do capture a simplicity and innocence that are at the core of the tale. Perhaps the most special aspect of the booklet is the wraps or outer wraps to be precise made up of two sheets of vellum documents from the mid-18th century that may have come from a Royal Archive. These sheets were clearly meant to conceal the erotic contents. One of the documents is signed Besnard P and is a letter dated 25 9bre 1734 with a seal of the city of Rouen. Back to the Daphis and Chloe a few of the plates bear a stylized device of what appears to be "LG" and above the date of 1934. unknown
