John Bewick was perhaps the earliest designer-engraver to work in England. His great popularity resulted from the illustrations he produced for some 60 titles - mainly children's books - during a tragically short working life, yet his achievements have been largely overshadowed by the monumental talents of his brother Thomas. Nigel Tattersfield's long needed study, drawing as it does on unpublished correspondence, Bewick's ledger of commissions, and investigation of the extensive collection in the British Library, will finally establish John as a major engraver in his own right. Its is also a most handsome volume, superbly set in Justin Howes' new digitalized version of Caslon's glorious type: Founder's Caslon. £30.00

In addition the book also contains the correspondence, mostly between the artist and his wife Mary, from the period of their escape from France at the outbreak of war, the time of their settlement and hardship during the war period in London (when JBW worked initially at a camouflage unit with Hayter, Penrose and Trevelyan, then as a censor for Reuter's) and subsequently it relates the experience of JBW when he returned to Paris after the war to salvage their flat and its remaining contents. These letters provide a marvellous first-hand glimpse of the effects of the war upon Paris, which JBW felt had changed very much for the worse. £275.00
