A propos de cet article

A handsome copy of Homer`s `Odyssey` bound by German bookbinder and graphic designer Frieda Thiersch (1889-1947), printed in the Greek types designed by R. Proctor [Robert George Collier Proctor (1868_1903)] based on type found in the Complutensian Polyglot Bible. Thiersch, influenced by the simple beauty of Doves Press bindings and taught for a period by Doves Bindery finisher Charles McLeish, is considered to have played a key role in the development of the German book art movement after World War I. Thiersch volunteered as a nurse in World War I, later working at the Bremer Bindery and then founding a bookbinding school after economic conditions worsened as a result of the start of the Second World War. As head of the Bremer Bindery she was responsible for the design and execution of all bindings of the Bremer Presse. In the 1930s and `40s, with the remaining staff of the Bremer Presse, Thiersch produced document folders, guest books, photo albums, cassettes and representative gift booklets for powerful figures of the Nazi regime. Many of her assignments were directly for Hitler's private needs. Due to a bombing in 1944 many of her books were destroyed, and early bindings are scarce. This copy is simply bound in black morocco with a gilt-ruled border to both boards, five raised bands and six gilt- ruled compartments to spine, and title and year of publication tooled in gilt also to spine. One of a limited edition of 225 copies printed by Horace Hart at the Oxford University Press. A beautifully printed book bound by one of the most skilled female bookbinders of the twentieth century. Black morocco binding by Frieda Thiersch, simple gilt-ruled border to both boards. A little wear to spine and extremities of boards. Spine lightly sunned. Upper hinge professionally repaired by female conservators Coralie Barbe and Florence Malo. Very light occasional foxing to some pages. Offsetting on a lower fly and lower free endpaper from the insertion of a piece of paper (now removed). All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. 1 v., complete. 20.5x25.5cm. 457 unnumbered p. [227 leaves]. Text in Ancient Greek. Extra shipping charges may be applied due to size and weight of item.…
