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.

Wood Engraving Wednesday

THREE FRENCH ENGRAVERS

This week we present wood engravings by three notable French artists, Jacques Boullaire (1893-1972), Fernand Siméon (1884-1928), and Constant Le Breton (1895-1985). These engravings appear in the first volume of the English annual The Woodcut, edited by author and art critic Herbert Furst and printed at the Curwen Press for the British typography journal The Fleuron in 1927.

The Fleuron would go on to publish three more such annuals which were treasure-troves of wood engravings, with articles on all aspects of the art, technique, and history of wood engraving, decorative patterns, woodcut calligraphy, xylography, wallpaper, and book illustration. Each issue reproduced 15 or more "Contemporary Woodcuts" by the most important artists of the day in Great Britain, Europe, and Russia, and offered reviews of the best English, German, and French books with wood engravings issued that year. Watch out for more postings from The Woodcut!
