  • Eric Gill Special Collection
    an introduction to the Eric Gill Special Collection Portrait of Eric Gill (1882-1940) was an English engraver, sculptor, typographer, and writer Eric Gill who lived and worked in and near London. The University of Notre Dame collection includes over 2,000 items of Eric Gill’s work: books, pamphlets, broadsides, prints, greeting cards, calendars, sketches, wood blocks, photographs, and other formats. The Gill Collection also includes many examples of the work by men who worked with or apprenticed with Gill (Hilary Pepler, Philip Hagreen, Joseph Cribb, David Jones, and Desmund Chute), most of the imprints of the Golden Cockerel Press (which produced The Four Gospels engraved by Gill), and an extensive selection of the output from Gill’s own St. Dominic’s Press. There are hundreds of fine art prints and over 100 photographs of Gill’s sculptures. The collection was acquired in 1965 from John Bennett Shaw (Notre Dame alumnus ’37), who purchased it from Evan Gill, Eric’s brother. Since 1965, the collection has been added to selectively. The collection has a large and interdisciplinary audience. The Gill Trial Proofs of Collection encompasses the genres of drawing, sculpture, Eric Gill’s lettering, engraving, and printing, as well as the intellectual Hand & Eye, with a pencil sketch at pursuits of art theory, religion, and social philosophy. It is thus of left, 1908. interest to students and researchers in art history, graphic design, This was used by the book arts, fine printing and the history of printing, and the Gill as a personal symbol. social thinking of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

  • 25Th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain Date of Issue: 13 September 1965
    SPECIAL STAMP ISSUE 25th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain Date of issue: 13 September 1965 ‘Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.’ With these words Winston Churchill paid tribute to the men of the Royal Air Force who defended Britain against the German air assault in the autumn of 1940. Only months after the retreat from Dunkirk, Britain faced perhaps the darkest days of the entire war as the Luftwaffe launched an all-out bombardment intended to pave the way for a German invasion. For the first time in the history of warfare, an entire battle was fought in the air: the Battle of Britain took place between 10 July and 31 October 1940, reaching its climax in mid-September when the German bombers began to blitz London. By the end of the battle, the RAF had lost 911 aircraft with 414 pilots killed; Luftwaffe losses totalled 1,733 aircraft. REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL STAMP ISSUE September 1965 marked the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, and the Royal Air Forces Association (RAFA) planned a special commemoration during Battle of Britain Week, an event that had been held annually since the war. On 11 May 1964 L G Johnson, a holder of the Distinguished Flying Cross and Deputy General Secretary of the Royal Air Forces Association, wrote to the Postmaster General (PMG), Reginald Bevins MP, with a request that the Post Office issue special stamps to mark the anniversary. He wrote: ‘This turning point in our history ... should not be allowed to pass uncommemorated, and one very appropriate way which would bring the occasion to the minds of people both at home and overseas would be the issue of a special postage stamp or stamps as is customary on similar anniversaries of national importance or interest.’ Despite Johnson’s assertion that stamps commemorating ‘similar anniversaries’ were the norm, D H Beaumont of the Postal Services Department replied that a Battle of Britain issue would not be possible, based on the Post Office’s policy regarding special stamps.

    COPYRIGHT STATEMENT This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the author’s prior consent. i ii REX WHISTLER (1905 – 1944): PATRONAGE AND ARTISTIC IDENTITY by NIKKI FRATER A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Humanities & Performing Arts Faculty of Arts and Humanities September 2014 iii Nikki Frater REX WHISTLER (1905-1944): PATRONAGE AND ARTISTIC IDENTITY Abstract This thesis explores the life and work of Rex Whistler, from his first commissions whilst at the Slade up until the time he enlisted for active service in World War Two. His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

  • Making Books – and Chili by David Esslemont the 2012 Victor and Carolyn Hammer Book Arts Lecture King Library, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY
    Making Books – and Chili by David Esslemont The 2012 Victor and Carolyn Hammer Book Arts Lecture King Library, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY. Wednesday, November 28, 2012 Thank you. Good evening. How are you? What a great place. There is much here that is relevant to what I want to talk about – besides my breakfast and lunch . where we are eating tonight? An extraordinary wealth of human creativity is to be found at the University of Kentucky. In the King Library, the variety of books, the range of subjects is awe-inspiring. But don’t forget what Charles Dickens said: “There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.” There is a teaching press, with iron and wooden presses. Isn’t it astonishing to think these presses were once used to print books? I make books. I have an interest in books. You have an some sort. I have an interest in food too – everybody has an interest in food.interest in books. Actually, I find everybody has an interest in books of 1 Lindisfarne I have a particular interest in how books are made – in the creative process – and how original works are shaped by a response to many different things: our heritage and traditions, current events, trends, tastes, technology, the global economy and the environment. The Lindisfarne Gospels was made 1300 years ago, [700 AD] on a small island off the coast of Northumberland, in northeast England. In the tenth century someone added an Anglo-Saxon gloss to the Latin text, producing the earliest surviving Old English copies of the Gospels.

Of Different Complexions: Religious Diversity and National Identity in James II’s Toleration Campaign* by Scott Sowerby One of the most remarkable speeches ever given by an English monarch was delivered by James II in the city of Chester on 27 August 1687. This speech deserves the attention of historians but has never been published, surviving only in a first-hand account written by a Cheshire gentleman in his diary. That diary has been held for the past eighty years in the municipal archives of Liverpool.1 Like many similar diaries, it largely consists of an unembellished record of the diarist’s daily appointments as he called on his neighbours.

In that, Gentleman vastly expanded the Benn proceeded to sweep this old-fashioned think- choice of possible subject matter and created a new ing aside. He announced, first to astonished postal shape for pictorial stamps. He also suggested that officials, and then to the House of Commons, the Queen’s head might be replaced by the royal dramatically new criteria: coat of arms or a crown, but this was not accepted. However, Gentleman then created a small cameo “to celebrate events of national or interna- head of the Queen instead of the awkward Wilding tional importance, to commemorate appropri- portrait, and this became standard. These revolu- ate anniversaries and occasions, to reflect Brit- tionary designs were to influence British stamp ain’s unique contribution to the arts and world design for over 20 years. affairs, to extend public patronage of the arts by promoting philately and to raise revenue.” Background ONY Benn was appointed Postmaster General in October 1964. One of his first Taims was to broaden the British Post Office’s crite- ria for issuing stamps which, at the time, was very conservative. Until then, only 20 commemorative issues had been made in the 12 years of Queen Elizabeth’s reign, of which 11 had been in the previ- ous two years.
