This thesis examines Haberly’s works in order to trace the influence of Britain’s Arts and Crafts movement on this American artist. By extension, it studies the impact in the US of both the Arts and Crafts aesthetic and the hand-press revival and considers their relevance to artistic movements that followed. iv Acknowledgments Dr. Nicole Reynolds, Ohio University Dr. Joseph McLaughlin, Ohio University Dr. Miriam Intrator, Ohio University Ms. Eleanor Friedl, Fairleigh Dickinson University Mr. Brian Shetler, Drew University Cary Frith, Honors Tutorial College, Ohio University Kathy White, Honors Tutorial College, Ohio University Margie Huber, Honors Tutorial College, Ohio University v List of Illustrations Figure 1 – William Morris, Strawberry Thief, 1883, printed textile.

    Introduction by the Editor

    INTRODUCTION BYTHE EDITOR HEN Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Edward Burne- Jones, William Morris, and some fellow-artists painted on the damp walls of the Oxford Un- ion debating hall in 1857, their ignorance of fresco technique led them to produce haunt- ing images of the Middle Ages which, in ghostly fashion, began to fade almost immedi- ately; but the more permanent legacy of this episode was a body of richly revealing anecdotes about the Pre- Raphaelites themselves. Burne-Jones, for example, recalled that Mor- ris was so fanatically precise about the details of medieval costume Figure 1 that he arranged for "a stout little smith" in Oxford to produce a suit of armor which the painters could use as a model. When the basinet arrived, Morris at once tried it on, and Burne-Jones, working high above, looked down and was startled to see his friend "embedded in iron, dancing with rage and roaring inside" because the visor would not lift.1 This picture of Morris imprisoned and blinded by a piece of medie- val armor is an intriguing one: certainly it hints at an interpretation of his career that is not very flattering. But we ought to set alongside it another anecdote, from the last decade of Morris's life, the symbol- ism of which seems equally potent. Early in November 1892, young Sydney Cockerell, recently hired by Morris to catalogue his incunab- ula and medieval manuscripts, spent the entire day immersed in that remote age while studying materials in Morris's library. As evening approached, he emerged again into the nineteenth century (or so he thought) and climbed the staircase of Kelmscott House: "When I went up into the drawing room to say goodnight Morris and his wife were playing at draughts, with large ivory pieces, red and white.

    UPSTATE ECHOES Is Arch Merrill's Ninth Book

    UPSTATE EcnfJes by ARCH MERRILL UPSTATE ECHOES is Arch Merrill's ninth book. like the others that have won so many thousands of readers, it is a regional book. Only, as its title implies, it embraces a larger region. Besides many a tale of the Western New York countryside about which Storyteller Merrill has been writing for more than a decade, in his lively, distinctive style, this new book offers fascinating chapters about other Upstate regions, among them the North Country, the Niagara Frontier and the Southern Tier. Through its pages walk colorful figures of the Upstate past- the fair lady a North Coun­ try grandee won by the toss of a coin- the onetime King of Spain who held court in the backwoods- the fabulous Elbert Hubbard, "The Fro" of East Aurora- the missionary martyrs and a silver-tongued infidel, natives of the land of Finger Lakes, who made his­ tory in their time- the movie stars who once made Ithaca, far above Cayuga's waters, a little Hollywood- the daredevils who through the years in barrels and boats and on tight ropes have sought to conquer the "thunder water" of Niagara. The past comes to life again in stories of historic mansions, covered bridges, Indian council fires and the oldtime glory of Char­ lotte, Rochester's lake port that once was "The Coney Island of the West." You will meet such interesting people as the last surviving sextuplet in America and the "The Wonderful Man" who leaped from a parachute at the age of 81. • UPSTATE ECHOES Other Books by ARcH MERRILL A RIVER RAMBLE THE LAKES COUNTRY THE RIDGE THE TOWPATH ROCHESTER SKETCH BOOK STAGE COACH TOWNS TOMAHAWKS AND OLD LACE LAND OF THE SENECAS UPSTATE ECHOES BY ARCH MERRILL Being an Assemblage of Stories about Unusual People, Places and Events in the Upstate New York of Long Ago and of Only Yesterday Many af Them Appeared in Whole or in Part in the Rochester N.Y.

The Earthly Paradise, a Poem (Author's ed.). Boston: Roberts brothers, 1868. ARB RB PR5075 .A1 1868 Arguably the most popular of Morris’s written works; this novel made Morris’s name as a poet. It tells the story of twelve Norwegian sailors who flee the black plague and set off to look for the ‘earthly paradise’. They end up on an isolated island, which houses the last vestiges of an ancient Greek civilization. The book is made up of several poems, which are tied to the twelve months of the year, paralleling the 12 sailors. Morris, William. Letter to Aglaia Ionides Coronio. 24 October. 1872. ARB RB PR5083.

    Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great--Index

    Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great Elbert Hubbard In 1894, Elbert Hubbard began his series, Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great. Beginning in 1894, once a month, for 14 years, he wrote a new “little journey”. There are 180 “Little Journeys,” of those men and women who, “transformed the thought of their time, changed the course of the empire, and marked the destiny of civilization.” Hubbard’s work is considered a classic. Hubbard’s “little journeys”, sometimes compared to Plutarch’s Lives, are a bridge from Plutarch’s lives of Greeks and Romans to Edison’s time. Like Plutarch, Hubbard’s miniature biographies were composed for his own personal benefit and his information and inspiration came from original sources. These mini biographies were published in 1928 by Elbert Hubbard’s son, Bert Hubbard, using Elbert Hubbard’s own printing and bookmaking shop, Roycrofting, Incorporated. In May of 1915 Elbert Hubbard and his wife, Alice, left for Europe aboard the Lusitania. A German submarine sunk the Lusitania off the coast of Ireland; both Elbert and Alice died as a result. His son Bert took over the family businesses and shops, which were numerous at that time. Hubbard describes himself as an anarchist and a socialist, so some care should be taken with respect to some of these biographies.

    Pre-Raphaelites and the Book

    Pre-Raphaelites and the Book February 17 – August 4, 2013 National Gallery of Art Pre-Raphaelites and the Book Many artists of the Pre-Raphaelite circle were deeply engaged with integrating word and image throughout their lives. John Everett Millais and Edward Burne-Jones were sought-after illustrators, while Dante Gabriel Rossetti devoted himself to poetry and the visual arts in equal measure. Intensely attuned to the visual and the liter- ary, William Morris became a highly regarded poet and, in the last decade of his life, founded the Kelmscott Press to print books “with the hope of producing some which would have a definite claim to beauty.” He designed all aspects of the books — from typefaces and ornamental elements to layouts, where he often incorporated wood- engraved illustrations contributed by Burne-Jones. The works on display here are drawn from the National Gallery of Art Library and from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, on loan to the University of Delaware Library. front cover: William Holman Hunt (1827 – 1910), proof print of illustration for “The Lady of Shalott” in Alfred Tennyson, Poems, London: Edward Moxon, 1857, wood engraving, Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, on loan to the University of Delaware Library (9) back cover: Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828 – 1882), proof print of illustration for “The Palace of Art” in Alfred Tennyson, Poems, London: Edward Moxon, 1857, wood engraving, Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, on loan to the University of Delaware Library (10) inside front cover: John Everett Millais, proof print of illustration for “Irene” in Cornhill Magazine, 1862, wood engraving, Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, on loan to the University of Delaware Library (11) Origins of Pre-Raphaelitism 1 Carlo Lasinio (1759 – 1838), Pitture a Fresco del Campo Santo di Pisa, Florence: Presso Molini, Landi e Compagno, 1812, National Gallery of Art Library, A.W.

    Sir Emery Walker 117

    sir emery walker 117 Sir Emery Walker Onzichtbaar hoofdrolspeler in de private press beweging, grafisch ondernemer, boekhistoricus sjaak hubregtse Inleiding Emery Walker (1851–1933) is een begrip – althans voor enkele bibliofielen en boekhistorici. Hij speelde een cruciale rol bij de belangrijkste Britse en con- tinentale private presses – Kelmscott Press, Ashendene Press, Doves Press, Cranach Presse – en heeft ook als grafisch ondernemer, docent en adviseur grote invloed gehad op de kwaliteit van typografie, illustraties en car- tografie – en toch is hij een grote onbekende. Of, zoals dat in het Engels zo mooi heet, een unsung hero. In bijna elke aan hem gewijde publicatie of passage stuiten we op uit- spraken als de volgende: • Emery Walker, ‘who, during a practical experience of well over fifty ye- ars, has done more for the finest printing than any other man living’ (Newdigate, p.63); •‘the pervading authority of Emery Walker, the Spiritual Father of the Revival of Fine Printing...’ (Avis, p.33); •‘the man who (as every one but himself would admit) has been the mo- ving spirit in most of the good and scholarly ventures in modern English typography’ (Updike, ii,p.211); •‘a significant, if elusive character’ (Franklin 1973, p.vii); •‘one of the most versatile designers, and one of the best typographic scholars, ever to work in England.’ (Chappell, p.225); 118 sjaak hubregtse sir emery walker 119 •‘his name is known and honoured by printers the world over’ (Hornby, p.8); • ‘It is scarcely too much to say that his influence, direct or indirect, can be discerned in nearly every well-designed page of type that now appears, and that to him, more than to any other man this century’s great impro- vements in book production has been due’ (Cockerell, p.886); •Walker, ‘it could be argued, is the most unjustly neglected figure in the history of modern British printing’ (Peterson 1992, p.3) •‘Abiographer is needed for Sir Emery Walker more badly than for any other figure in the printing history of the period’ (Ruari McLean).
