- Lot Description
BROWNE, THOMAS and PAUL NASH, illustrator Urne Buriall and the Garden of Cyrus. London: printed at the Curwen Press for Cassell & Co., 1932. One of 215 copies on Barcham green hand-made paper, this copy 175. The publisher's binding signed by Sangorski and Sutcliffe (this is the the second issue binding; the first 85 copies were identically bound to the same design by Nevetts); with a rectangular brown morocco onlay bearing a design of a stylized Greek urn by Paul Nash, blocked in gold and with vellum onlays, all edges gilt; housed in a brown cloth slipcase, likely original. 12 x 8 5/8 inches (30.5 x 22 cm); xx, 146 pp., 32 pochoir plates and illustrations by Paul Nash (14 of which full-page). Very light lifting of the vellum along the lower edge of the inlay, minute soiling to the spine, in all a most attractive copy. One of the loveliest English artist books of the period, the binding bears the motif of a vase against a gilt quincunx in cream and gold on a brown ground on the upper cover; this is reversed on the rear cover, with the design in brown and gold on a cream ground. For a commercially published book, this was extremely elaborate. The copies bound by Nevetts are generally less successful than those executed by Sangorski. At the time of publication, the Curwen Press had the best facilities for pochoir coloring in Britain, and their work in this book, both the typography and the illustration, is exceptional.No condition report?
