Endeavours & Experiments: John Buckland Wright
by Christopher Buckland Wright
Published in 2006 this book showed a number of John Buckland Wright’s engravings, printed from the blocks, which show his experimental work, along with a descriptive essay by his son Christopher. Standard copies were quarter-bound in cloth and housed in a slipcase, while the very special copies contained two three-colour prints and a loose copy of Cafe Dansant 1, 1929, shown above.
I have still a number of regular B edition copies (from the original 90), which do not include the extra three-colour original prints tipped-into the specials (these prints are displayed as tipped-in printed copies) but do include the loose print of Cafe Dansant 1, one of the truly glorious wood engravings made by Buckland Wright. The book is bound in quarter vellum, and with the print, is housed in a solander box. Published at £425 these can be sold now at £365.
