201711347Rockport ME: Stagenhoe Press 2017. Artist's book one of 5 copies regular issue from a total issue of 15 all on BFK Rives each signed and numbered by the artist in the colophon. Page size: 8 x 8 inches; 8 leaves 16pp; including colophon. Bound by the artist: drum-leaf binding of blue-grey cloth over boards with tan cloth spine duotone print artist self-portrait used throughout book edged in tan inset into front panel housed in blue-gray cloth over boards slipcase. Printed letterpress by the artist in Baskerville Old Face and Century Schoolbook at Maine Media College in a variety of point sizes in blue each page with a series of 4-3-2-1 dots printed in tan in lower right corner of each recto. The artist notes that her poem is "broken up throughout the book and the stilted structure of the verse speaks to the awkward nature of the phone call it describes." The words and tone of the poem are unsparing and relate the desire to be known to those closest to us and the ensuing sadness when we realize this is not possible. The author / artist takes the reader / viewer on an intimate journey highlighted by the use of her self-portrait printed as a duotone on vellum between the last two lines of the poem followed by the same image printed in pale grey with the last line of the poem below the artist's uncompromising gaze. The text is quick and to the point and relevant to us all. Beautifully accomplished this is a wonderful example of an idea made concrete by one artist's talent. Stagenhoe Press unknown books

Reviews the evolution of international air routes around Britain India the Far East and Australia. Includes chapters on the Baghdad Air Mail and 'The Third Route' across Europe. "The author chose an attractive title for his book procured an interesting introduction written by Major-General Sir Sefton Brancker Director of Civil Aviation and compiled a suitable prologue of appropriate quotations. This book is well illustrated with excellent maps. Major Salt has shown great industry in compiling valuable data respecting the development of imperial air routes up to May 1930." Rare especially in dustwrapper. The mid-1920s and 1930s are often nostalgically referred to as the 'Golden Age' of British civil aviation. In its sixteen years of operation Britain's Imperial Airways developed and promoted long-haul aviation as a viable means of long-distance travel and formulated and maintained a global aerial network that ushered in a new era of post-war globalisation and mass aeromobility. Though criticised as being the product of an imperial power in decline Ewer 2007 Imperial Airways established both the material and cultural foundations on which post-war civilian aviation would flourish and thus its importance must not be underestimated.

"Horst Janssen is a once-in-a-century phenomenon an impressive and celebrated draughtsman very few can match up to. And yet there are still some - as yet scarcely noticed - facets of his work remaining to be discovered. Janssen's oeuvre confronts the observer like an enormous artistic moutain massif of countless drawings woodcuts etchings monotypes watercolours pictorial letters postcards and posters. In all of them he broke the bounds of the 'standard measure'. Everything about him was extraordinary including the number of posters he designed and the number of versions which were printed." - Foreward. A new unread copy stll in shrink wrap.

290 pages. Reproductions of black and white photos in text. "Whether by accident or design, governments and agencies have remained silent, so all the research has been up to us. However this true fifty year old shame must be revealed in the hope that mankind remembers and never allows it to be repeated." - from Foreword. "Our story tells what happened to 168 Allied Airmen who jumped into Northern Europe after their planes had met with an explosive and fiery end... Because our eventual betrayal to the Gestapo was accomplished so smoothly, a number of these encounters will be explained so that you can better understand our dilemma. The retelling of our encounter with our Gestapo hosts is mild, for many of us do not wish to recall the most unpleasant details that deserve to stay well hidden in the back of our minds... Now with this story told, we again wish to forget." - from Prologue. Moderate wear. Unmarked. Binding intact. A sound copy. Book
