per item
Printed from original wood engravings, recently rediscovered in the Incline Press archive.
This hard back book is printed with 25 alphabetical images, directly from Enid Marx original wood engravings, plus one zinco on the frontispiece. The letter U was missing from the set, so I carved an acrylic replica copied from the Incline Press edition.
The decorative paper was made from one of Marco's blocks and worked into a repeat pattern, and all stitched and handbound at Awen Press. The typefaces used are Fry's Ornamented, Lectura and Verona. The book is of a very old handmade Barcham Green paper, dampened and printed on an 1846 Albion press. The pattern wrapper is printed on yellow Hahnemuhle paper supplied by John Purcell, and the repeat plate was made by Lyme Bay press from another Marco block found in a drawer. The book measures 11.5 x 15cm, postage is free to UK customers.
The main edition is 160 hard back copies at £150
5 copies have been made on the last of the Clover Hill paper, with thanks to Pat Randle of Nomad Press £175
50 further copies are in an slip case at £180
50 copies are in loose sheets for binders at £60
