Acquisition Information This collection, compiled over time by Joseph Kelly Vodrey, was purchased by the Clark Library in 1986 from Zeitlin & Ver Brugge. Processing History This collection was previously processed and described in a paper-based finding aid in the 1980s. From January to February 2010 portions of this collection were processed and this finding aid was written by Ashley Johnston. Biography Robert Gibbings (1889-1958) was an Irish author and artist best known for his wood engravings. He bought and ran the Golden Cockerel Press in Berkshire, England from 1924-1933, when the stresses of the Great Depression forced him to sell the press. During and after World War II he wrote and illustrated several books on the landscape and natural history of various rivers (among them, 'Sweet Thames Run Softly', 'Going Down the Seine' and 'Lovely is the Lee') which resonated with readers concerned about the effect of war on the changing countrysides. Scope and Content This collection contains correspondence to and from Robert Gibbings's friends and colleagues, including Eric Gill, as well as ephemera and photographs related to his work. Artworks in this collection include copper engravings, wood engravings and drawings in pencil. Bound manuscripts include original paste-ups, notebooks, and early or unpublished drafts of books. There is also correspondence between Joseph Kelly Vodrey and booksellers regarding the compilation of this collection. Arrangement The collection is organized into the following series: Series 1.

There are hundreds of fine art prints and over 100 photographs of Gill’s sculptures.

  • 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.
