A propos de cet article

An exceptional, one-of-a-kind piece of contemporary Irish altered book art titled "Sent Messages" by the independent Irish artist Narki Marki. The canvas for this breathtaking physical transformation is a genuine 1934 first edition copy of The Daily Express Encyclopedia (Vol. V: Glau to Lan), published by Daily Express Publications in London. The artist has entirely repurposed the historical hardback facade, building a rich, heavily sculpted landscape of volcanic ridges, fissures, and molten streams across the front cover, spine, and back cover in a seamless, continuous artistic wrap. Vibrant, fiery orange and yellow pigments are brilliantly juxtaposed against deep, textured black and earth tones, catching the light dynamically from every angle. The entire exterior painting is sealed under an archival, glass-like premium gloss varnish finish that emphasizes the depth, protects the heavy textures, and provides a polished, permanent protective coat. A fascinating detail remains embedded under the back cover art: the original 1934 embossed reference globe and torch emblem subtly raises beneath the textured pigments, serving as a ghostly tactile link to the book’s 90+ year history. Authentication & Provenance: The interior endpapers have been intentionally integrated into the artwork. The inside front board serves as a built-in Certificate of Authenticity, featuring handwritten documentation by the artist’s own hand: • “Sent Messages. Narki Marki. Selection of paints, Gloss Varnish Finish.” Condition Report: • Exterior / Binding: Fine / Unique. The custom-painted exterior is in pristine condition, securely locked under a durable gloss varnish layer. Heavy sculptural paint elements are structurally sound with no cracking or peeling. • Interior Text Block: Very Good. The original 1934 printed text, illustrations, title pages, maps, and gazetteer pages remain fully intact, clean, and neatly bound, showing only expected light age-toning and gentle foxing to the page margins appropriate for a near-century-old volume. A marvelous, highly tactile conversational centerpiece for collectors of unique Irish artisan creations, fine upcycled sculptures, and avant-garde library decor. "Sent messages". 13 x 19 cm's, 4 cm's deep. 28.5 x 19 cm's fully open covers facing up.

Description de la boutique

The Architecture of Memory: An Immersive Guide to the World of Rare, Antiquarian, and Fine Books. The joy of a rare book is a quiet thrill that connects you instantly to history. It begins the moment you spot a unique spine on a high shelf. Pulling it down brings a wave of wonder: the scent of old paper, the texture of handmade sheets, and the heavy weight of centuries in your palms. The true happiness is the discovery. Holding an antiquarian volume means holding a physical survivor. You trace the ink of a long-dead owner or find a pressed flower left by a reader from generations ago. It is a direct link to the human hands that shaped our world. A screen gives you words, but a rare book gives you presence and history. It reminds you that you are the temporary guardian of human thought.…
