Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Limited Edition. One of 50 copies for sale, slim folio, [30] pp., signed by both Robert Bringhurst and Joseph Goldyne. The poetry of Robert Bringhurst, OC (b. 1946) "draws on his experiences with Native American myths and storytelling, as well as his training in philosophy, comparative literature, and linguistics. Bringhurst's work is known for its wide-ranging intellectual curiosity and linguistic clarity" (n.b., from the web site of the Poetry Foundation). Joseph R. Goldyne (b. 1942), is best known for his monotypes and aquatints; in addition to being an artist, he is also an author and co-founder of 3EP Ltd. Press. His work is in major institutions such as the Smithsonian, the Met, the National Gallery, the V&A, and more (n.b., info from Wiki). The Two Ponds Press brought together the talents of Bringhurst and Goldyne in this, their ninth publication. Per an excellent piece by Leah Dobrinska on the web site of Books Tell You Why (published online August 26, 2016), "Two Ponds Press has a vision: to celebrate and reinvent the fine art press. The Press succeeds in doing just that by working with artists from all over the world to create new and exciting pieces of fine printing." Scarce in the online marketplace: as of this writing we see no other copies online, and our search of OCLC locates eighteen copies with institutions. ___DESCRIPTION: Quarter blue morocco with both gold and silver lettering stamped onto the spine, the sides covered in changeable silk of blue and gold, fore-edge uncut, title page in red and black, bound in throughout are the ten aquatints by Goldyne, each signed by him in pencil below the plate, interspersed are the nine parts of the poem by Bringhurst; Linotype Aldus (for the text) on BFK Rives lightweight, letterforms designed by Hermann Zapf, slim folio (the box measures 13 7/8" by 6 7'8"), [30] pp., this copy no. 14 of 50 standard copies for sale (total edition of 89 which includes ten special copies and proof copies), the publisher's device in red at the colophon, signed by both Bringhurst and Goldyne at the colophon. With the publisher's prospectus, a single sheet folded thrice for nine pages, the front a mirror of the title page, the first two of the inner pages samples of an aquatint and the first poem part, the third of the inner pages a short essay on the art of the aquatint, the verso pages with standard prospectus information and bios on the author and artist. Both housed in the publisher's drop-back box covered with changeable silk in shades of blue and grey, blue leather spine label with silver lettering, the interior lined with ivory felt. ___CONDITION: Fine: the leather on the book smooth and supple, the boards clean, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; we acquired this volume directly from the publisher, it is as new; the prospectus also fine, clean and without wear, as is the box.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Limited Edition. One of 25 copies, folio size, [36] pp., with the box and three associated art pieces, with facsimile Oil Share, signed by [Anneli] Skarr. Book artist Anneli Skaar (b. 1969), born in America, earned her B.A. at the National Academy of the Arts (Statens Håndverks-og Kunstindustriskole) in Oslo. This work, "The Island Whale", is her second artist book to be published by the Two Ponds Press. The text volume contains nine stories written by various individuals, or found within old texts, each relating a story about a whale being mistaken for an island, some of whom had built "fires upon their backs before [the sailors] are pulled down into the depths"."[i]n these stories the whales, inevitably sinking beneath the sea, become a metaphor for the potential disaster for humans exploiting the natural world (n.b., quotes from the web site of Anneli Skaar). Skaar's message is to raise our awareness of "the connection of extraction of natural resources to the land sinking below our feet" (ibid). Lavishly illustrated, "[a]ll of the illustrations.drawn with a pen nib using AirInk, an artists' ink extracted from air pollution, and were then hand-colored with watercolor" (n.b., from the web site of Two Ponds Press). As the ocean is the setting for these tales, Skaar designed her book after the manner of an old sailing log, this contained within a box much like a mariner's sea chest. This chest contains not only the "logbook" but three "artifacts" with ties to the stories: an etched sperm whale's tooth cast in plastic, a red paper rose, and a paper feather quill (pen), all created by the artist. The included stories (or sections thereof), and their authors/sources, are: "Physiologus" (Second Century Alexandria); "Babylonian Talmud" (Rabbah Bar Bar Hana, Third Century Mesopotamia); "Alexander Romance" (Fourth Century Greece"; "Fastitocalon" (From the Codex Exoniensis, Tenth Century England); "Navigatio Sancti Brendani" (Thirteenth Century Ireland); "Saga of Orvar-Odd" (Thirteenth Century Iceland); "The Island Whale" (Olaus Magnus, Sixteenth Century Sweden); "Sinbad the Sailor" (From the Arabian Nights, Seventeenth Century Persia); and "Paradise Lost" (John Milton, Seventeenth Century England). Not surprising with an edition this smalll, as of this writing we see no other copies online. ___DESCRIPTION: The "log" (text volume) bound in quarter red leather over marbled paper boards, gilt lettering and rules on the spine, white paper label mounted onto the front board with black lettering and a small vignette of a whale superimposed with the date "2022", bright red endpapers, the same which separate the introduction, the nine stories, and the afterword, all text pages french-fold, illustrated in black with red highlights; concept, design, hand-drawn illustrations, and artifacts by Anneli Skaar, letterpress by Art Larson at Horton Tank Graphics on Rives BFK paper, the typefaces created from historical documents by Brian Willson at Three Islands Press (the typeface "Schooner "drawn from the handwriting of a Boston pastor from the 19th century, in a letter asking for alms for families who had men lost at sea; the title type "Geographica Hand" created from the handwritten titling of a 18th century British mapmaker), the marbled paper by Iris Nevins, the edition bound and boxed by Amy Borezo at Shelter Bookworks, folio size (12 1/8" by 8 5/8"), [36] pp., published in an edition of twenty-five copies, this no. 11, signed by Skarr at the colophon; loosely laid in is a small facsimile of an "Oil Shares Incorporated". Contained within a "ship's case" covered in grey cloth, gilt lettering on one side and the front, with two separate compartments, one holding the log book and the other the three artifacts. ___CONDITION: Text volume (the "log") is fine, the leather shelfback smooth and supple, the gilt lettering and rules bright and unrubbed, the boards clean with the marbled paper unrubbed, perfectly straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text bloc. Skaar, Anneli (illustrateur).…

Etat : Fine. Number 35 of 75 copies, signed and numbered by Joseph Goldyne. Joseph Goldyne was born in 1942 in Chicago, IL. He came to prominence as an artist on the West Coast. He has been credited as one of the artists responsible for the rebirth of monotype and monoprint as valuable approaches to art. He is also known for his artist's books, often done in collaboration with printer Peter Rutledge Koch. From the Prospectus: "Joseph Goldyne brought this project to our attention, and the Press was convinced that this little-known oratory by George Bernard Shaw deserved wider recognition, one that Goldyne thought a most unexpectedly wondrous and humorous introduction to Albert Einstein, perhaps the most transformative and towering figure of the twentieth century. Goldyne's own introduction, " An Introduction to an Introduction," speaks to his discovery of Shaw's speech, its presentation, Shaw's record of condemning anti-Semitism, and his public support for Einstein. The full text of Shaw's speech is reprinted, together with Einstein's response, delivered in German and printed here in English translation. Goldyne illustrates the volume with five drypoint etchings created especially for this publication. They pay tribute to the featured speakers as well as to the sense of the event." Beautifully bound in cream paper covered boards with gilt dotted rulings and ornament on front cover of circle with initials "S|E" in its center. Gray leather spine and trim along front edges, with gilt titling on spine. Printed in Monotype Bembo and Gill Sans types on paper handmade at the Velké Losiny mill in the Czech Republic. Letterpress printing by Arthur Larson at Horton Tank Graphics with additional hand composition by Rose Ku'ulealoha Wisotzky. Design and typography planned by Michael Russem Housed in a slipcase covered in dark red cloth with "S|E" symbol on spine. Accompanied by prospectus. A lovely book in fine condition. Measures 6.5 x 10 inches. 39 pages. PRI/112321.…
