About This Item
Boughton Monchelsea, Kent: Ebeneezer Press, [1969].. Limited edition, no. 71 of 100 copies. Folio. 16 folio folded sheets bearing the text and the plates, each of the plates signed by the artist, all printed in colour on Mellotex High White Cartridge using a Cogger press. Original gilt lettered hide spine, heavy English yew boards, the edges of which and the inner covers are stained purple as issued, housed within original purple felt slipcase. An excellent example of a finely executed work. A magnificent and distinctive production, from the yew boards to the printing of the title page and text using blocks manufactured from a single apple tree. Clarke first studied at Beckenham Art School and subsequently the Royal College of Art, where he specialised in illustration and printmaking. This was his first hand printed livre d'artiste.
