About This Item
December 1963. A striking homemade book, with wonderful watercolored illustrations filling the borders of every page of this hagiographic account of St. Barthomew. Oblong, 20 by 27 cm. Unpaginated, four leaves, with five pages of content, including front cover. The illustrations are folk art-ish and winsomely naive. We would suspect that the artist was not an accomplished artist, but he worked expertly within his artistic limitations to create something especially pleasing and immediate in its artistry. Cameos include depictions of monks, seals, skiffs, a cathedral and chapel, coastline, blackbirds, etc. The images are cleverly integrated, and they capture convincingly the raw coastal beauty of Farne, which is a group of North Sea islands off the coast of Northumberland, in Northern England. Light wear.
