I'm a hoarder of old prints..I adore the styles and themes of these and here are some of my very favorites!I The more macabre and darker themes are so beautiful and emotional. The sheep one is really a classic and I also collected a lot of corvids...

I also have some gorgeous vintage books with super intricate animal etchings, the cross hatching in those is just to die for. They are all so inspiring to me! :D

Fashion Friday

This week, we present a range of fashion from the 18th through early 20th centuries from our 1908 collection of dance illustrations, Der Tanz, by the Austrian artist Ferdinand von Řezníček (1868-1909). This folio volume was published in Munich by Albert Langen (1869-1909), and most of the illustrations appeared earlier in Langen’s popular satirical weekly Simplicissimus. We are quite taken by the action, drama, and humor in these color lithographs that are so evocative of the era. Wikipedia notes that von Řezníček became an editorial assistant for Langen when he launched Simplicissimus, and von Řezníček's "subtly erotic drawings contributed greatly to the success of that publication."

Shakespeare Weekend!

This weekend we are sharing Shakespeare’s comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream, the twenty-fifth volume of the thirty-seven volume The Comedies Histories & Tragedies of William Shakespeare, published by the Limited Editions Club (LEC) from 1939-1940. This play was likely written between 1595 and 1596, and while it may have been performed before 1600, the first performance known with certainty occurred at Hampton Court on 1 January 1604. The play was entered into the Register of the Stationers' Company on 8 October 1600 by the bookseller Thomas Fisher, who published the first quarto edition later that year. A second quarto was printed in 1619 by William Jaggard, as part of his so-called False Folio. The play next appeared in print in the First Folio of 1623. 

This volume was illustrated by the prolific English artist Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). Rackham favored taking on work that would allow him to make “fantastic and grotesque illustrations” which we see in his emotive watercolors for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Rackham began his career illustrating periodicals but after creating noteworthy illustrations for Rip Van Winkle in 1905, he went on to illustrate nearly one hundred books in his fanciful ink and watercolor style. 

The Limited Editions Club took particular care in reproducing Rackham’s work for this volume. Through a process that included delicately adding color over lithographic prints, LEC was able to preserve the spirit and vibrance of Rackham’s work.  

The volume was printed in an edition of 1950 copies at the Press of A. Colish. Each of the LEC volumes of Shakespeare’s works are illustrated by a different artist, but the unifying factor is that all volumes were designed by famed book and type designer Bruce Rogers and edited by the British theatre professional and Shakespeare specialist Herbert Farjeon. Our copy is number 1113, the number for long-standing LEC member Austin Fredric Lutter of Waukesha, Wisconsin.

Cover & Title Page ❧ The Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century: A Series of Illustrations of the Choicest Specimens Produced by Every Nation at The Great Exhibition of Works of Industry by Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt (1853); 2 Vol.

These books are filled with intricate color reproductions of a small selection of some of the art objects & industrial manufactures of the 1851 London Exhibition.

Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt was an architect & art writer who served as Secretary to the Executive Committee of the Commissioners of the Great Exhibition. Apart from designing the exhibition hall with Joseph Paxton, Sir Matthew was responsible for arranging the many thousand exhibits in the galleries & halls. This position, paired with his artistic skills, made him the perfect candidate to compile these books.

The 'Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations' was help by Prince Albert & Henry Cole in order to show countries all over the world the innovations in manufacturing & design from Britain. 100,000+ items were on display, ranging from raw materials, machinery, manufactures, & the fine arts. Over 6 million guests viewed the exhibit. The profits were used to build the South Kensington Museum (known today as the Victoria & Albert Museum).

Shortly after the Great Exhibition opened, Day & Son publishers suggested to Sir Digby Wyatt that an illustrated volume showcasing treasures of the exhibition would create a lasting souvenir & record of some of the items displayed. Even more, by using the latest innovations in color printing methods, the book could in & of itself exemplify the industrial progress.

Chromolithography was the printing process used for the Industrial Arts of the Nineteenth Century. This type of printing was a relatively recent invention that could achieve the detail & effect for color illustrations.
