Description:
Seattle: Aubergine Atelier, 2019. Fenton, Jodee. Oblong 24mo. 36(ff)., + 14 Japanese kozo-paper leaves painted on both sides in gouache, tempera, watercolor, and polyacrylic varnish. From an edition of thirty copies, this is one of ten bound in half leather with decorative paper over boards. Each copy in the edition contains unique paintings by Jodee Fenton. These, distributed throughout as full leaves, cutouts, and paste-downs, encourage a new perspective on Yeats' seminal poem. Originally composed as a reaction to the pain of the early twentieth century-the aftermath of the First World War, the onset of the Irish War of Independence, and the 1918-1919 flu pandemic-Yeats' verses use apocalyptic allegory to capture the fear, brutality, and destruction of the era.

Description:
Northampton: Ariosto Press, 1965. Young, Elaine. Octavo. (25)pp. One of 100 copies, signed by the artist. A student of Leonard Baskin, Young riffs on his dynamic and mythical style to create her own fanciful beasts, emblems of particular ornamental characters (the "Bulla" as a Papal Bull "known for its dogma," the "Homo litterarum" as an airy academic, the "Avis invulgaris" as an aristrocrat who "is habitually performing acts of charity and voting against antipoverty legislations"). Young's preface describes the contents as "hallucinogenic material...the result of a diverse program of cognitive meanderings." The first book of the press. Young's name pops up as a contributor on other Baskin-circle projects, including the Apiary Press' Certain Elizabethan and Jacobean Playwrights. Bound in full tan paper over boards with paper label at upper cover. Mild rubbing to exterior, else near fine. Bookplate of Harold Hugo, then president of the Meriden Gravure Company.
