Beschreibung

The sole UK printing published by Combined Arts, Bath in 1988. One of a limited edition of only 950 copies. The BOOK is in near Fine condition with just some minor creasing to the bottom left hand side of the first few pages. This edition was published in wrap covers but a handful were specially issued by the publishers as casebound with decorated cloth covers. This copy is one of the latter copies with Bawden's designed decorated paper covers, and dark blue buckram spine and front corners. The book has been signed in pencil (without dedication) by Edward Bawden to the title page. Although it bears no ownership marks, this copy is from the collection of Peter Sampson of the Merivale Press, who was a friend of the Bawdens. The catalogue of Bawden's work in this survey begins in 1922 and proceeds chronologically until 1983, a record of just over sixty years work, mainly in graphic design, book illustration, wallpapers, ceramics and murals. It also includes a list of exhibitions of Bawdens' work from 1926-1987 and is profusely illustrated throughout. Extremely scarce in such format more-so Signed by Edward Bawden.
