About This Item
Oak Knoll Press,US, 1999 See photos for the fantastic condition of this book and its dust jacket. This work is both a catalogue and a history of this remarkable British bookplate workshop. The author describes several hundred bookplates engraved on copper and wood, executed and printed in the workshop of Beilby & Bewick over a period of 89 years. This work is one of the most extensive and thorough studies on this subject ever undertaken. Tattersfield has taken full advantage of the recently opened archives of the firm to reveal the vast range of their work, from banknotes and inscriptions in silver, to the making of their type punches. The workshop's surviving records are unique in their diversity and quantity. The noted author utilized a brand of careful scholarship to produce a valuable and truly pioneering work on a subject hitherto clouded with speculation and optimistic attribution. Co-published with The British Library.. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine.
