201010294Octon France: Verdigris Press 2010. First Edition signed limited edition one of 42 copies only from a total edition of 50 8 deluxe copies with one of the original copper plates all on Hahnemulhe paper each hand-numbered and signed by the author Ruth Fainlight and the artist Judith Rothchild. Page size: 8-1/2 x 9-7/8 inches; 20pp. colophon. Bound by Mark Lintott: leporello style with wrap-around boards of marbled paper made by Judith Rothchild over boards in grey with hints of deep pink and pale blue raspberry-colored linen hinges title author artist and press printed in black in the spine title on front panel housed in custom-made matching grey paper over boards slipcase. The text has been hand set and printed letterpress in Vendome Romain on an Albion press of 1867 by Mark Lintott. The artist herself printed her mezzotints. The text has debossing on the title page with the title NACRE repeated twice in blind on either side of the printed title. The shaped colophon is debossed in the form of a cowrie shell. Noted American poet living in London Ruth Fainlight has contributed six poems; the first "Pearls" has four sections; the fifth "Clam Chowder" has two sections. Judith Rothchild has contributed eight mezzotints relating to or inspiring Ms. Fainlight's verse. The book was collaboration with each artist reacting and creating to her friend's work. The verse speculates on the beauty of the pearl and how it has been valued throughout the ages - reserved for the wealthy and powerful. Ms. Fainlight asks in "Pearls" "Entire villages holding their breath: how many divers' lives lost in the oyster beds for a royal crown" The first mezzotint certainly captures the mysterious dark lustrous glamour of this "crystalline substance iridescent nacre" and the interplay between text and image is set from this beginning. As Ms. Fainlight's text turns to the sensuous associations of love oysters - with great subtlety - the images take on a sensuality of their own. A stunning book that is at once provocative intimate and philosophical and more than a bit Proustian. An object as simple as a cowrie shell button causes the author to recall her mother's treasured memory. The reader / viewer is compelled to join in this lovely remembrance - and perhaps recall something of one's own. Verdigris Press unknown books
