Small quarto. 111, (2)pp. From an edition of 350 copies, this is one of fifty on handmade paper, made by students of Norwich Free Academy. Inscribed by the author, an instructor in the Department of Printing at the Academy, to Hannah Dodge in January 1941. Dodge was the director of the Slater Museum at the Academy from 1926 to 1963; her husband, Ozias Dodge, who taught at and directed the Norwich Art School (likewise at the Academy) from 1897 to 1910. An impressive project executed by Bradlaw's students, who here have set their hands to various methods of illustration - chiefly photolithographs and linocuts - and experimentations with types in a range of alphabets, from the familiar Latin to Phoenician, Hebrew, and Greek, as well as others inset as block illustrations. The students have carefully reproduced not only images, but also entire text pages, including a page from the Gutenberg Bible and the Ashendene Dante. The examples, whether of images or texts, demonstrate a concentrated citational practice; each one has a caption with its original source, its artist, and its method. The book concludes with a discussion of type faces, with an impressive range of samples, after which appears a final four-color linocut showing a "barrage of words" deployed in the name of civilization. Bound in brown calf over boards, gilt-titled. Some edgewear, else fine.
