About This Item

Hurtwood Press in association with The Tate Gallery, London, 1983. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Illustrator(s). 1st Edition. First edition, number 21 of 300 numbered copies, each signed by John Piper. Elephant folio (50" x 40"). 47pp. Original publisher's marbled cloth. Printed on 100% rag Fourdrinier paper especially made for the edition at the Rives-Fure Mill of Arjomari-Prioux in France. With fifty colour and duotone plates showcasing Piper's paintings of Stowe in Buckinghamshire, plus a 'visual index' of thumbnail reproductions. The merest hint of wear to the base of the backstrip, else in fine state. No dust wrapper, as issued. The first fifty copies - of which this is one - were issued with two additional signed prints, but these, alas, are no longer in situ. A quite magnificent book, produced under Rowley Atterbury's Hurtwood Press imprint (Atterbury studied under Berthold Wolpe at Faber and went on to become a pioneer of colour printing and computer typesetting. This is one of a number of his projects which is now deemed to have set new standards in the field). Most uncommon. Levinson 180..
