Beschreibung

Book. Subtitle: 'STUDLEY cannot fail of striking the spectator'. Thirty seven colour lithographs by Patrick Eyres (texts) and John Tetley (images) in hand-bound embossed folio (455 x 330 mm). Edition of 100 - this copy is no. 20. Signed in black ink by both authors. The folio comprises text and image documentation of the Augustan garden that encompasses the ruins of Fountains Abbey. Fifteen landscape images by Tetley (using a mixture of drawing, etching and photography) and 22 poem-texts serve as a discourse not only on the pastoral 18th century garden (now restored) - but also the darker past of the garden: the feudal abuse of the estate workers, for example. Eyres's texts are largely compiled from 18th century sources, particularly from the estate archives' correspondence accounts. New Arcadian Press (publisher of New Arcadian Journal) is dedicated to landscape theory - this being their most substantial and rarest production. Condition: minor bumps to corners of hardcover folio resulting in some small scuff marks; minor toning to fabric boards; contents clean and fresh with minor curling at the edges due to the nature of the case and minor yellowing to the outer edges of occasional pages. Near fine. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001754
