Edward Anthony Craig (1905-1998) was the son of the artist and stage designer, Edward Gordon Craig, and grandson of the actress Ellen Terry. He adopted the name Edward Carrick in the late 1920s to assert his own identity as his career developed in art, film and theatre. Seconded to the Crown Film Unit which had been developed from the GPO Film Unit to make wartime propoganda films, Craig was artistic director from 1939 to 1946. This drawing evidently relates to one such film on the war at sea.

A witty collection of aphoristic bon-mots, the more acerbic observations nicely leavened by the lightness of Villers David's touch. 'Travel for pleasure only. Do not be misled when you hear also that 'travel broadens the mind'. This is an empty phrase, justifying the envy of those who have not travelled, and the complacency of those who have. Travel is a physical movement; and this has nothing to do with education. It it had, then air-stewards and naval ratings would be the most educated of men. Education is quite a diferent thing.' 45 DOVES PRESS. TIDCOMBE, Marianne. The Doves Press.

My days are probably darker than yours, and I need, my God I do, all the light I can get. But I am a decent fellow, and I do not want to be mean and selfish about what little brightness is shed upon me from time to time. So I propose to share with you a tiny flash that has illuminated my sombre life and tell you that God has given me a new Turkish colleague whose card tells me that he is called Mustapha Kunt. We all feel like that, Reggie, now and then, especially when Spring is upon us, but few of us would care to put it on our cards. It takes a Turk to do that. Sir Archibald Clark Kerr H.M. Ambassador'

A wonderful celebration of the work of Emil Rudolf Weiss (1875-1942), Jugendstil painter, illustrator, wood engraver, graphic designer and calligrapher. He designed wallpapers, fabrics, furniture, stained-glass, ceramics and murals for ocean liners. This extensive study concentrates on his book and magazine designs, from typography to binding, dust-jacket, endpapers & title-page. Bauer Typefoundry first commissioned type metal ornaments and then three text faces and three sets of display initials. Finally, Cinamon examines the Weiss types in use today with roman & italic fonts available in digital format and as popular as ever. Several years in the press, this wonderful achievement seems likely to sell out quicky at what is a bargain price. 168 WEISSENBORN, Hellmuth [Illustrator] HEINE, Heinrich. Doktor Faust A dance poem.
