197744083London: Hutchinson 1977. First edition of the author's masterpiece. Octavo original cloth. Signed by Ruth Rendell on the title page. Near fine in a fine dust jacket. On Valentine's Day four members of the Coverdale family--George Jacqueline Melinda and Giles--were murdered in the space of 15 minutes.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 118 pages; 100 color illustrations. Description: " 'Contemporary Lithographs' was a pioneering scheme set up by Robert Wellington who had helped make Zwemmer's the centre for modern art in the 1930s and the artist John Piper. Their inspiration was to take good quality prints into schools across Britain. Together they commissioned and produced two series of prints with in some cases Piper taking on the task of coaching artists who were not familiar with the auto-lithography process. They involved many of the Zwemmer artists as well as their own friends: Edward Bawden the Nash brothers Eric Ravilious Graham Sutherland and John Piper himself. This beautifully produced book reproduces all the works for the first time and traces the scheme from its ambitious beginnings to its closure at the start of WW2. With its companion The School Prints it will appeal to anyone interested in Modern British Art and sit perfectly alongside several titles in the ACC Design series." -- with a bonus offer-- .

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 126 pages; 100 color illustrations. Description: "This beautifully produced book tells the story of The School Prints series. It was dreamt up towards the end of WW2 when Brenda Rawnsley and her husband Derek had the idea of bringing contemporary art to young children by putting 'good' art into schools. Initially British artists were commissioned to produce one lithograph each John Nash Paul Nash Henry Moore John Tunnard Barbara Jones L. S Lowry and many more. These were issued in a series of standard-sized prints to which schools could subscribe. A war widow at the age of 30 Brenda took up the project again immediately after the war and embarked on an even more ambitious project to sign up the great European artists of her day. She travelled extensively around France - not an easy task at the time - and signed up the likes of Picasso Braque Leger Matisse and Dufy to contribute works 'pour les enfants anglais' as Picasso said. Tragically the project was not a commercial success many of the schools finding the works too avant garde and modern. However The School Prints project should be seen in the context of attempts to democratise British art in the mid-20th Century as well as part of the renaissance of lithography that was taking place at that time. This book and its companion 'Art For Everyone' will appeal to anyone interested in Modern British Art and sit perfectly alongside several titles in the ACC Design series." -- with a bonus offer-- .
