New York: Granary Books, 1999. First Edition. Cloth. Fine. Trevor Winkfield. Printed by master printer Ruth Lingen. Her copy, number 55/67. Signed on the colophon by the author and illustrator.Described by its publisher as "a postmodern illustrated book… a perfect passport to the new millenium," Dig & Delve is a collaboration between American poet Larry Fagin (text) and English writer and artist Trevor Winkfield (images and designs).Peter Schjeldahl notes that Fagin "explores the possibilities of poetry as an activity, like the theater or a sport, where each act is a unique performance demanding nerve and guile. The poems that result are as lean and snappy as terriers, and just as much fun." Fagin's surreal, Rimbaud-like prose poem is delightfully and joyously augmented by Winkfield's clean, spare artwork, with the finished product mimicking a bright children's board book.The book was typeset largely by Ruth Lingen with assistance from Barbara Henry; it was letterpress printed, including the cloth cover, by Lingen. This volume is notable for its superior printing, including the crispness and purity of the book's vibrant colors.When will the book be done, 82-83.Of an edition of 67 copies signed by both author and artist, 50 were for sale and 17 were hors commerce. Sewn boards binding by Judith Ivry with hand-printed cloth over boards. 18 pp. 26.4cm x 22cm.

1791 Diderot Encyclopedia Plates ROME Colosseum Pantheon Architecture MachinesThrough the mid-18th-century, large collections of knowledge were relegated to specific areas of study like law, medicine, or religion. However, Denis Diderot's 'Encyclopedie'
changed the public's knowledge base as well as setting a standard for future generations of acquiring knowledge on many different subjects. This was the first encyclopedia to include contributions from many different named writers. It also was the first encyclopedia to describe work-related topics like agriculture, engineering, cooking, and trade.
One of the aspects that made this work so desirable was the incredible, detailed full-page engravings. In fact, the illustrations themselves were so sought-after that they were of published on their own apart from the encyclopedia.
This volume of 'De Planches', or the plates from Diderot's encyclopedia include some of the following engravings:

Description:
Manifesto of the avant-garde artist Alexander Vasilyevich Shevchenko (1883-1948).Rare and important Russian Art essay. A. Shevchenko was a highly influential painter and art theorist whose book coined the term "Neo-Primitism." He defined it as a new form of art that blended Cézanne, Cubism and Futurism with traditional Russian folk art such as the icon and the lubok or popular picture sheet. He was a Russian and Soviet painter and graphic artist, art theorist, avant-garde artist. Shevchenko was educated (1899-1909) at the Stroganov School (especially highlighting this school for professionalism), at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (on the course of K. A. Korovin) and in Paris — at the Academy of R. Julian and in the workshop of E. Carrier. In the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture he became close to M. F. Larionov and, inspired by his theories (luchism — partly, neo-primitivism — seriously), he participated in the exhibitions "Donkey's Tail",…
