19979550Ashuelot: Trois Fontaines Golgonooza Letter Foundry 1997. One of 80 regular copies from a total issue of 109 copies 80 numbered copies 26 lettered copies and 3 Artist's Proof copies all on Arches paper each signed and numbered or lettered by the author and type designer punch cutter and printer Dan Carr and the artist and binder Julia Ferrari. The 80 numbered copies have one etching and three duotone reproductions by Julia Ferrari who has also written an "Artist Afterword" and designed the beautiful shaped colophon. As an example of contemporary book arts this may well be unique I can think of no other book of contemporary verse where the author / printer has designed and cut a unique type face for his book. Page size: 12-1/2 inches x 9-1/4 inches; 72pp. Bound by Julia Ferrari: handmade green pastepaper with black and brown overall abstract design corresponding to the frontispiece etching title in black on white label on spine. All the numbered edition copies correspond to one season depending on the frontispiece etching. That is there are four variations of the book in the numbered edition with the different pastepapers used in the binding keyed to the original frontispiece etching.<br/>Dan Carr created a type face called Regulus after the star rising through the trees when the first alphabet was completed for his verse. In the Preface he states he views "the poems are collected as an alphabet." The collections of verse he goes on are about "transformation found in the seasons of a year.my poems revealed a kind of stations of the soul the cycle of the seasons of frost and sun." The theme of transformation that occurs in nature and that constancy of change are perfectly interpreted in words and image. Trois Fontaines [Golgonooza Letter Foundry] unknown books

Later calf backed marbled paper covered boards flat spine ruled and lettered in gilt.<br/> <br/>A rarely encountered pattern book or trade catalogue of 18th century English furniture hardware including drawer pulls keyholes hinges locks castors bolts and more.<br/> <br/>By 1770 over thirty different brass foundries operated in Birmingham England making it the epicenter of furniture hardware design in the last quarter of the 18th century. At roughly the same period trade catalogues like the present began to be issued by both furniture and hardware makers alike. In all over 500 designs are shown on the 113 consecutively numbered plates from rather simple hinges to incredibly ornate pulls. Although no engravers' names are identified it has been suggested that the foundries themselves produced such plates utilizing the talents of their own craftsmen who by their very occupation would have been highly skilled at etching on metal.
