Wood Engraving Wednesday

Czech-American wood engraver, illustrator, and type designer, Rudolph Ruzicka, illustrated this edition of Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince and Other Tales with seven color wood engravings and a wood-engraved cover pattern for the Overbrook Press in Stamford, Connecticut, in an edition of 250 copies. The entire edition was also designed by Ruzicka a year after being awarded the Gold Medal from the American Institute of Graphic Arts and joining the staff of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company as a type designer and consultant. He would go on to design several typeface families for Linotype.

Our copy is another donation from the estate of Dennis Bayuzick.

Publishers’ Binding Thursday

It’s time for another Publishers’ Binding Thursday post! This week I’m sharing The Happy Prince and Other Tales by famous Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). This edition of this collection of short stories was published in 1913 in New York by G.P. Putnam's Sons. It features art-nouveau-esque illustrations by British book illustrator Charles Robinson (1870-1937), who came from a family of illustrators including his father and brothers. This book is part of our Historical Curriculum Collection of books for children. 

The cover features the statue of the titular Happy Prince and the swallow who befriends him in the story (which is quite sad) stamped in gold on purple book cloth. The spine is highly decorative, featuring floral motifs and the title, author, illustrator, and publisher. I find it interesting that the title on the cover is “The Happy Prince and Other Stories” but on the title page it’s “The Happy Prince and Other Tales.” I wonder if there was a miscommunication or change that happened that led to them being different!

Available miniatures for sale and a question

Added new available pendants to the list. I'm in a really dire financial situation at the moment, so reblogs would be really appreciated.

The Happy Prince, Stede Bonnet's lover's eye, three of swords, Arthur Lester's (and John's) eye, formula 1 car, sailor and the wind, Arthur and John in Dreamlands and three wooden landscape pendants.

And a question about the last two paintings. They're obviously inspired by the war, and I don't know what to do with them. But I was asked about prints, and these miniatures can be made into ones (probably?). So, a question - will someone be interested in this? And maybe some drawings and other miniatures of suitable shape made into prints

THE ONES WHO WALK AWAY FROM OMELAS by Ursula K Le Guin (1973) (link) - tw: child abuse

Do you believe? Do you accept the festival, the city, the joy? No? Then let me describe one more thing. In the basement under one of the beautiful public buildings of Omelas, there is a room. It has one locked door, and no window. ... In the room a child is sitting.

THE HAPPY PRINCE by Oscar Wilde (1888) (link) - tw: death

The eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with tears, and tears were running down his golden cheeks. His face was so beautiful in the moonlight that the little Swallow was filled with pity.
