  • Sweet Thames Run Softly, You Might Wonder Wif Robert Gibbings Is Your Ideal Companion
    introduction Luke Jennings hen picking up Sweet Thames Run Softly, you might wonder Wif Robert Gibbings is your ideal companion. The river runs a considerable length, and you might consider that his didactic manner, and his schoolmasterly disquisitions on Ovid and Theophrastus, are more than a little creaky to the twenty-first century sensibility. Some of the book’s descriptive passages are fairly purple, like his description of a dream in which small creatures living in a country lane ‘all came to me and led me to their nests, drawing aside the sheltering roots and leaves that I might see into their homes’. But Gibbings wins you over. His curiosity, his erudition, and his eye for arcane detail persuade you of the need to continue. He is the kind of man who carries a microscope in a punt, in case, moored in a backwater on a Saturday evening, he feels moved to examine sedimentary diatoms. ‘Some were crystal clear bordered with gold, some were sculptured like a cowrie shell, others recalled the cuttlefish that we find on our shores’. Turning up a water lily, he discovers ‘Aquatic caterpillars . as well as small trumpet shells, and semi-transparent snails whose cat-like faces extruded as they marched along, seeking what they might devour’. This is science filtered through an artist’s eye, and the result is wonderfully strange. Gibbings was born in Cork in 1889, and grew up in Kinsale, where his father was the rector. He studied medicine for three years before turning to art, eventually studying in London at the Central School and The Slade.

Vues d'optique, or perspective views, were very popular in Europe during the eighteenth century. The pictures were designed for viewing through a zograscope equipped with a mirror and lens, and so the text was written right to left and the image reversed. It was an extremely popular form of entertainment and allowed the viewer to daydream about new worlds and unknown places; the famous fresco "Il Mondo nuovo" (The New World) by Giandomenico Tiepolo depicts a crowd composed of commoners and noblemen standing around a zograscope and looking into it.

Murdoch 2016 While the philosophical – and, indeed, commercial – rhetoric surrounding the question: “What is art?” has been ongoing for millennia, at another level, the related question of ‘What is good art?” is, for most, subjective in nature. It is that artistic endeavor which moves us, which evokes a feeling within us, which speaks to us in a manner that encourages us to return again and again to the image, finding both renewed and new responses with each visit. In the arena of the book arts, there are fine bindings, illuminated manuscripts, cover and dust jacket design, and the illustrations of artists whose work outside of the publishing world has already gained renown. In the offerings of this our 30th catalogue, we feature names that may be unknown to many. Such is the world of the business of publishing in the last 50 years that the names of both writers and illustrators much-admired in bygone decades, let alone eras, are today no longer discussed in book clubs and libraries. It is our hope that some of these books may resonate with you. A number of these titles do not yet appear on our website, or other internet listings, and are offered first to those receiving our emails. All items are single copies, and are subject to prior sale; octavo unless otherwise noted. Prices are in $Cdn, supersede those that may have appeared in previous catalogues, and do not include shipping.

  • Read the Introduction
    INTRODUCTION his photograph was taken in October 1949 at the National TBook League Gallery (NBL) in Albemarle Street, London, during the opening of the exhibition ‘Wood Engraving in Modern English Books’. It shows almost all the significant engravers of a generation. The bearded Robert Gibbings dominates the group at the front. To the left of him is the show’s bespectacled organiser, Tom Balston. Slightly further back at the left, another figure stands out just as much – because of his height, which means he is strongly caught by the light, and because of the thrust of his jaw and the angle of his head: Clifford Webb. Leon Underwood and Gwen Raverat (in her French gran’mere’s dress) are just in front of him. Lynton Lamb, a prominent illustrator, is just behind Balston’s shoulder, with George Mackley and Geoffrey Wales beyond him. Blair Hughes-Stanton is seen behind Gibbings, with, to the right, Dorothea Braby, Gertrude Hermes, Reynolds Stone and Noel Rooke. Why is Webb so little known compared to many of the others? In the 1930s, after the First World War, Webb’s reputation was as high as any up-and-coming artist could wish for. In 1949, the year of the NBL exhibition, Christopher Sandford, ever keen to sell his Golden Cockerel Press books, painted a romantic picture of the 54-year-old engraver, describing him as ‘tall, ruddy, grizzled and hail-fellow-well-met’. ‘I press him to stay the night,’ he goes Border Farm, aka Chesterholme, 1943–4 on, ‘but the wild calls to him … he drives away to pitch his tent 8 x 10 in | 123 x 110 mm on a wooded hill above the river’.

  • Rowers' Guide to the Thames 1 Thames Tour What to See When
    Thames Tour What to see when rowing the Thames Christopher Dodd This guide was written for an International Rowing Federation (FISA) seven-day rowing tour of the Thames in 2003, starting in Godstow near Oxford and progressing downstream to Putney in London. It uses the terms ‘port’ and ‘starboard’ to describe the location of sights. As seen from the cox’s seat, ‘port’ (stroke side) is to the left of boat, ‘starboard’ (bow side) is to the right - in the direction in which the boat and the stream are moving. The River Thames, also called the Isis in the Oxford area, is important for several reasons. For centuries it was a great trading route, connecting the Thames Valley and, through the canal system, the west and midlands of England with the great port of London. It is a great source of drinking water for London, and as railways shut down transport by water, they opened the Thames Valley to Londoners for enjoyment and recreation. The modern sport of rowing was born on the Thames, and it remains a world centre. The guide was updated in 2013. Please contribute comments and corrections HERE. © Christopher Dodd Seven days from Oxford to London DAY 1 – Godstow to Clifton Hampden (27 km, 6 locks) DAY 2 - Clifton Hampden to Pangbourne (29 km, 4 locks) DAY 3 - Pangbourne to Henley (24 km, 6 locks) DAY 4 - Henley to Maidenhead (25 km, 6 locks) DAY 5 - Maidenhead to Staines (24 km, 5 locks) DAY 6 - Staines to Teddington (28 km, 6 locks) DAY 7 - Teddington to Putney (15 km) Rowers’ guide to the Thames 1 DAY 1 – Godstow to Clifton Hampden, 27 km, 6 locks The tour starts at St Edward’s school boathouse, close to Godstow lock beside the remains of Godstow Abbey.
