"Strawberry Hill began as Walpole's 'Little play-thing house' and became one of the wonders of the eighteenth-century architectural world. Woefully neglected for years it is now undergoing major restoration and will emerge in triumph as the seminal house of the gothic revival in England." "Walpole and his 'Committee of Taste' devoted themselves to their gothic creation. It became a visitor attraction with Walpole's own guidebook and housekeeper to show ticketed visitors round. The authors take us on that same route and room by room with Walpole at our elbow reveal the theatrical planning the deliberate contrasts of light and colour and the love of drama invested in every detail of the building its decoration and its furniture." "At first Walpole sought the 'gloomth' of medieval buildings and details from tombs heraldic devices and stained glass were used to promote the effect that would inspire his own gothic tale The Castle of Otranto. Later with the building of the magnificent Long Gallery and its incredible papier mache ceiling Walpole revelled in 'gothicism and gold'." "The book is illustrated with many of the engravings that Walpole himself commissioned of his house and its interior decoration. There are modern photographs too."--BOOK JACKET.

2003CNJL1250Octon: Verdigris Press 2003. Limited Edition. Folio in a case. Fine. Rothchild Judith. Number 10 of 50 copies quarto size 20 pp. signed by Judith Rothchild and the printer Mark Lintott. Wallace Stevens 1879-1955 was "one of America's most respected poets. He was a master stylist employing an extraordinary vocabulary and a rigorous precision in crafting his poems. But he was also a philosopher of aesthetics vigorously exploring the notion of poetry as the supreme fusion of the creative imagination and objective reality." N.B. from the web site of the Poetry Foundation. <br/><br/>"Study of Two Pears" was first published in 1954 in The Collected Poems of Wallace Stevens and is here translated into French by Bernard Noel. The title asserts itself as being concerned with visual arts and each stanza tugs at the tension between reality that is observed and imaginative reality the observer sees the pears but not as he wills language fails to adequately describe them as they are without the use of metaphor. There might be no more appropriate poem to illustrate than this as the speaker's desire to describe the pears without relating them to anything else is an act of reduction which ultimately expands the image by showing us the many things they do resemble. <br/><br/>Illustrated by Rothchild's velvety hyper-realistic mezzotints which follow the progress of the stanzas each print gradually growing brighter the pears illustrated from every possible angle becoming more definite and resolved along with the poem. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original wrappers screen-printed with a design of green brown and orange with the title letterpress printed to the backstrip and upper wrapper in dark green loose leporello deckled fore-edge nine mezzotints two blind-stamped sets of pears to fly-leaves text in English and French; handset type Hahnemuhle paper quarto size 11" by 11.75" unpaginated with 20 pp. limited edition this number 10 of 50 copies signed by printer Mark Lintott and Judith Rothchild. Housed in a heavy cardboard slipcase covered in green paper and similarly screen-printed in shades of green lined with plain green paper. <br/><br/>___CONDITION: Fine; crisp clean; other than a hint of rubbing to the top corners and a small rubbed spot on the spine of the backstrip as new and free of prior owner markings; in a like case. <br/><br/>___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. <br/><br/>___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
