Cloth, 4to, 28 cm, 256 pp, plates, ills. From the blurb: "William Nicholson (1872-1949) achieved fame as a printmaker long before he became widely known as a painter. The bold woodcuts in his Alphabet (1898) brought him success with public and critics while he was still a young man, and this series was quickly followed by the equally popular Almanac of Twelve Sports, London Types and Square Book of Animals. But it was the artist's penetrating images of Queen Victoria, Sarah Bernhardt, Rudyard Kipling and others that formed the cornerstone of his reputation: published collectively in Twelve Portraits ( 1899), these cuts led to the award of a gold medal in Paris and a trip to the USA to portray such celebrities as Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt. This book, the only study of the subject, covers both Nicholson's importance for the late-nineteenth- century revival of the woodcut and the less well-known but more varied graphic work that he went on to produce between 1900-40: fund-raising designs created during the First World War; contributions to The Owl, a respected journal of art and letters founded and co-edited by Nicholson and Robert Graves, illustrations for Thomas Hardy, Siegfried Sassoon, the 'tramp-poet' W H. Davies and many other wrìters; and the delightful children's books ( Clever Bill and The Pirate Twans) that the artist wrote and illustrated during the 1920s. Conventional assessments of Nicholson have long been based largely on the 'modest perfection' of his small-scale landscape and still-Iife paintings. The present study provides a more accurate picture: an artist who tackled, with immense enthusiasm and flair, a multiplicity of art forms ranging fiom bookplates to book covers, and from playing cards to posters. The remarkable quality of Nicholson'' graphic art is revealed in this book by a wide variety of works, many of which are reproduced here for the first time. The diversity of Nicholson's talents was much admired in his day, and the author quotes appreciations of his prints and illustrations by such contemporaries as James McNeill Whistler, Max Beerbohm, J. M Barrie, Oscar Wilde and Walter de la Mare. Colin Campbell's introductory survey, in which Nicholson's work is reviewed against the background of the artist's life, is supplemented.by a detailed catalogue raisonne that draws extensively from unpublished letters and documenta. The volume is illustrated with 46 colour and 210 black and white illustrations." Near Fine in Near Fine dustwrapper. Seller Inventory # ABE-47057
