176626551Naples 1766-1776. A single aquatint plate drawn and engraved after the original pieces in the Hamilton collection. An aquatint in terracotta on a black background with highlighting in light rose showing a man leading three children they are all wearing laurels and bearing leaves for sacrifice. As they approach the altar two objects hover above one of which is likely a basin or kylix the other resembles a stylized head of a horned animal. Printed on a single folio sheet measuring approximately 20" x 14" the image approximately 5.5" X 7.5". Now presented in cream mounting boards 22" x18" behind clear mylar. A very fine plate in an excellent state of preservation. A BEAUTIFUL AND IMPRESSIVE PLATE FROM A MASTERPIECE OF CLASSIC ART RENDERINGS AND PUBLICATION. Hamilton served as British envoy to the court of Naples where he began collecting Greek vases and other antiquities immediately upon arriving at his post. In 1766–67 he published a volume of engravings of his collection entitled A Collection of Etruscan Greek and Roman antiquities from the cabinet of the Honble. Wm. Hamilton. A further three volumes were produced in 1769–76. Josiah Wedgwood the potter and porcelain maker drew great inspiration from the reproductions presented in Hamilton's volumes.<br> While widely recognized for their beauty the reproductions from Hamilton's vases have become evidence of the irreconcilable problem of neoclassicism in the Romantic period. Significant changes in the way the vases were engraved over a span of thirty or forty years demonstrate how an immutable collection of objects is subject to radical shifts in representation in response to the social and artistic styles of the time. hardcover

2018ABE-1675259210036Strange Attractor Press London 2018 This is a truly odd listing. It is easy to understand at one level. It has a powerful impact. It will set you thinking. It is also a truly original take on an historical theme. Ian Johnstone worked on this odd and fascinating collection. It is VERY odd; it is possibly unique. The wounds all twenty three of them were inspired by this artist's conception of how each stab was wielded and delivered upon Julius Caesar. An attempt to describe it sounds pretentious but with this strange book in your hands you can look and share something of this odd vision. Each was produced on - I believe - white melamine. The wounds are rendered in red pigment or ink. One of them is featured on the shiny white cover. It is an image inset into a blind stamped shape. The images inside are all in keeping with the cover and one can speculate; is this Brutus's mark And can that be yon Cassius's lean and hungry blade Was this how each wound appeared upon the toga of JC Speculate as you wish and contemplate them in whatever order you like. They are all worth a look and you will have seen nothing so strange before. And there are some photographs of the artist at the back by Kerry and Daniel O'Sullivan. Geoff Cox and Serena Korda have written the text. This is hard to describe and easy to look at. It is wondrous strange. It is peculiar.On the back cover it says '23 hawk beaks 23 fragments of a skull 23 curses hung round the neck of a scavenger.' And there are only 300 copies in the whole wide world of this book and it might be a masterpiece. It is not signed or numbered but the publisher insists only 300 copies exist. There is also a cassette of special music. YES! A cassette. The loose prints are ready to frame and the whole package is something very special indeed. Limited Edition. Hardcover. New.

19529699New York: Hammer Creek Press 1952. Original Wrappers. Very Good binding. 16mo. 8 pp. illus. Limited edition number of copies unknown. As issued sewn in printed wrappers. Very light toning to the extremities and covers; nevertheless a very nice copy. Bookplate of noted collector Norman Sondheim on the verso of the front wrappers. <br /> <br /> Comprises title page/announcement; two engravings one of the Hell-Box Press and the second the Hammer Creek Press; and a colophon. The Hell-Box Press was one of Fass's earlier printing endeavors. Hammer Creek Press began when in 1950 when Fass purchased from Valenti Angelo a small iron press previously owned by Bruce Rogers who had sold it to Angelo the year before. It was on this press of significant provenance that the bulk of the Hammer Creek Press editions were printed few of which have stated limitations. With only 4 institutions reporting ownership according to OCLC it is difficult to imagine this title was produced in an edition of more than a few dozen copies if that.
