Wood-engraving of Blackwell's Bookshop, Oxford.
Book Description
ONE OF 140 COPIES signed by the artist, printed direct from the block by Paul Kershaw at Grapho Editions
Dealer Notes
Around 1910, Edmund Hort New completed a number of engravings of Oxford, including views of the Broad, and within it of Blackwell’s bookshop - then a mere thirty years standing; some 110 years later, celebrating our 140th anniversary, Blackwell’s is delighted to present a new wood-engraving of its frontage by one of the best contemporary wood-engravers.
Peter Lawrence has been engraving for close to thirty years; his work is in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum, the Manchester Metropolitan Museum, and the V&A. In 2016, Pete designed the cover for our Kelmscott Press catalogue, with a new engraving of Kelmscott Manor that was also an update - in terms of its subject - of the work of E.H. New (though more directly that of Charles M. Gere).
