Fine Press Friday 

This week we are sharing Notre Dame de Paris, by Victor Hugo, translated by Jessie Haynes, illustrated by Flemish artist Frans Masereel (1889-1972), and printed by French printer and typographer Robert Coulouma for the members of the Limited Editions Club in 1930. Victor Hugo’s novel Notre-Dame de Paris was originally published in Paris in 1831, and first published in English in 1833.

This edition, illustrated in wood-engravings by Masereel, is printed in two volumes which are divided into 11 books, each book begins with one full page illustration and a chapter header. Including the frontispiece there are 23 unique illustrations.

Masereel worked primarily in France. He produced many wordless graphic novels in relief printmaking and has been described as a father of the modern graphic novel. He was also key figure in the revival of the relief print, which has been used to illustrate books since the introduction of moveable type in the 15th century. Masereel’s cleanly cut, easy-to-read relief prints compliment the typography making it well suited to the book format.

The paper is Velin d’Arches and he book was set in Monotype Bodoni and printed by Robert Coulouma, master printer in Argenteuil, under the supervision of artist and designer Henri Barthélemy. Both Volumes are bound in a soft paper cover.

Our copy is a gift of Loryn Ramadka, from the collection of Austin Frederic Lutter.  Printed in an edition of 1500 copies, our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin. This set is signed by the illustrator in the colophon.

Typography Tuesday

We take a lighthearted turn this Tuesday with a few wood engravings of illustrated initials by Australian/English designer and printmaker Edwina Ellis from her 1983 book The Animal Alphabet, printed on Velin d’Arches paper by Michael Mitchell at his Libanus Press in Marlborough, England, in an edition of 75 copies. Each engraving has a stately, yet whimsical quality about it, and we are certainly amused by how Ellis resolved the problem of X.

The top image includes original wood engravings by Ellis reprinted for inclusion in New Zealander/British rare-book dealer Michael Taylor’s review of “Fine Private Press Books of 1982,” in Matrix 3, Winter 1983, pp. 137-141, printed in November 1983 by John and Rosalind Randle at the Whittington Press in Andoversford, Gloucestershire, in an edition of 475 copies. The next set of images are taken from the artist/retired-special-collections-library-assistant blog site nelabligh.com. Unfortunately, Taylor’s review of Animal Alphabet comes as a perfunctory aside at the very end of his survey:

Well that I suppose should be the end except that something must be said about E. N. Ellis’s delightful Animal Alphabet. . . . There is a tipsy unicorn, a smug turtle, and an apposite kangaroo. . . . The engravings are printed one to a page in a small format (5 1/2 x 4 ins.) . . . . Michael Mitchell printed seventy-five copies for E. N. Ellis . . . with his usual flair and proficiency.

TU M'ES DESSINEE

TU M’ES DESSINEE

TU M’ES DESSINEE Quand jaillit ta clarté le taille hihi de l’information cesse de ricaner derrière mon Do Bien piqué dans sa serrure le Sol de ton tronc violoncelle En vibrant comme l’arbre que la forêt ne dénombre pas parmi les morts Canson Velin d’Arches exultent à dessein….
