Description
-
Limited edition of thirty numbered copies. ; Christina Rossetti's poem Winds is interleaved with a description of The Beaufort Scale in an interplay of pages and panels. The type is set to suggest a windblown effect and is embellished with typographic ornaments and leaves some of which have been hand colored. The type was meticulously set by hand by Margery Hellmann over a period of one year. Towards the end of the project Margery became ill and was unable to complete the work. The book was printed in three colors and bound by hand by her close friend, Bonnie Thompson Norman. The book reflects Margery's thoughtful and creative marriage of disparate texts which results in an enhanced appreciation of both poetry and science. This is the last work produced under the imprint of The Holburne Press--23 Sandy Gallery website, viewed on November 30, 2015. ; Letterpress printed from handset type on a 1926 Chandler & Price platen press, some hand coloring ...
