Endeavours & experiments : John Buckland Wright's essays in woodcut and colour engraving, together with other blocks remaining in his studio

Upper Denby : The Fleece Press, 2004

This is the fourth of the books printed at the Fleece Press which show the blocks left in John Buckland Wright's studio at his death in 1954. There are a total of 300 copies, and all are bound using a patterned paper derived from an original design by the artist. Half are bound in quarter cloth and are housed in a slipcase. Ninety copies are quarter bound in vellum and are accompanied by a print of Café Dansant No. 2, housed in a drop-back box. Sixty copies (of which six are accompanied by extra proofs and are not for sale), are issued as above but contain two tipped-in prints, of The Blue Dress, and The Red Room. Simon Lawrence enjoys colour blindness, so these were printed by Ian Mortimer. The type is Modern No. 7 set at Whittington by Peter 'The Raven' Sanderson. The paper is Magnani avorio Biblos, and the book was bound by Smith Settle, Otley. The tipped-in reproductions were printed in Sheffield by J.W. Northend Fine Print.
