Beschreibung
oblong octavo size (7.5" by 8.5"). stiff paper wrappers, accordion-fold loose signatures, housed in publisher's folding paper-boards case with marbled paper pastedowns. (22) pages. Mezzotintes by Judith Rothchild. One of 50 numbered copies signed by the author and illustrator, of which this is one of 10 deluxe copies. Accompaning the deluxe edition is a signed and numbered print with a handwritten and signed poem by the author, also accompanied by the original etched copper plate used for one of the illustrations. All housed in a matching fall-down-back box, lined with matching marbled black and gray paper, covered with black paper, with black-on-black designs on the front, black-on-black lettering on the spine. A fine copy in near fine slipcase. A scarce Artists' Book. James Sacre (b. 1939), former professor at Smith College, now residing in Montpellier, is a French poet, much of whose writing is concerned with literalism, which rejects the poetic convention of lyricism. He wrote this series of poems in response to fellow French artist Judith Rothchild's four mezzotints. The four images can be viewed in sequence when folded out and displayed in a semicircle, or read in page spreads, side by side with the poems - the work builds on each other as in these lines: "ç'est visible que chacun / ressemble a ceux d'a cote / par un detail de forme ou bien / l'idee qu'il donne d'un lien", the mezzotints are so rich they look like they would feel like velvet to the touch; this work is a joy to behold, on so many levels. Original black wrappers with serigraph print by Rothchild, concertina or "leporello" style, wrappers stamped with title and two rows of squares in black, marbled black and gray pastepaper guards and endpapers, four gravure mezzotints with tissue guards, text in French; handset in Vendome Romain and printed on an Albion Press, Hahnemuhle paper. stiff paper wrappers, accordion-fold loose signatures, housed in publisher's folding paper-boards case with marbled paper pastedowns.
