  • 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.

    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.

  • A MEDIUM for MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY and AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997
    A MEDIUM FOR MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY AND AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997 CASE 1 1. Photograph of Harriet Monroe. 1914. Archival Photographic Files Harriet Monroe (1860-1936) was born in Chicago and pursued a career as a journalist, art critic, and poet. In 1889 she wrote the verse for the opening of the Auditorium Theater, and in 1893 she was commissioned to compose the dedicatory ode for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Monroe’s difficulties finding publishers and readers for her work led her to establish Poetry: A Magazine of Verse to publish and encourage appreciation for the best new writing. 2. Joan Fitzgerald (b. 1930). Bronze head of Ezra Pound. Venice, 1963. On Loan from Richard G. Stern This portrait head was made from life by the American artist Joan Fitzgerald in the winter and spring of 1963. Pound was then living in Venice, where Fitzgerald had moved to take advantage of a foundry which cast her work. Fitzgerald made another, somewhat more abstract, head of Pound, which is in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Pound preferred this version, now in the collection of Richard G. Stern. Pound’s last years were lived in the political shadows cast by his indictment for treason because of the broadcasts he made from Italy during the war years. Pound was returned to the United States in 1945; he was declared unfit to stand trial on grounds of insanity and confined to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for thirteen years. Stern’s novel Stitch (1965) contains a fictional account of some of these events.

    Glover’s and Fairburn’s Inklings Lindsay Rollo Trade journals issued by New Zealand companies, as distinct from trade or industry magazines, were not that common in the period 1945-55. One that deserves a place in the local literary and typographical annals is Inkling. Published for just 37 issues by the Christchurch-based company Morrison & Morrison (M & M) from June 1947 to August 1951, it includes three pieces each by two of New Zealand‘s leading lights of that literary nationalism that emerged in the late 1930s. THE PUBLISHER M & M started in 1906 as printing ink manufacturers and expanded over time to have branches in the then four main centres. Their activities also diversified to include the sale of type, printing trade sundries, and machinery. After World War II it was one of a group of companies offering comparable services to the printing and allied trades throughout New Zealand. It was this company that provided boat fares in 1939 for Denis Glover and his printing partner John Drew to visit Wellington to look at printing machines.1 Glover and Drew were the two working principals of what subsequently became the Caxton Press. They bought a German machine- fed (automatic) rotary press, presumably not only to incrementally expand their printing capacity, but also to relieve the drudgery and limited production capacity of their hand-fed Wharfedale rotary press. They still had and used their hand-fed platen press (which had been converted from treadle to electric motor driven). It may be assumed that by 1947 M & M management had defined a need to increase their recognition in the marketplace and decided to issue their own free trade journal, initially monthly but as time went on reduced to two-monthly.
