the woodblocks sometime inked, a few sheets with tattered edges, various sizes and formats, good condition overall. Elizabeth Hammond was born in Southern Rhodesia in 1926, but the family returned to England when she was young; the wartime call-up enabled her to gain early attendance to Maidstone College of Art, following which she attended the Royal College of Art, from which she graduated in 1949. Whilst at Maidstone she illustrated an edition of Bacon's essay 'Of Gardens', published by the College and present in this archive (the book otherwise scarce), and she was busy with illustration work throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s for Weidenfeld & Nicolson, on a series of historical books for younger readers, Frederick Muller, Everyman's Library, et al. Her day-job consisted of teaching at Medway College, where her students included Tracey Emin and Zandra Rhodes. The latter's eminence in textile design perhaps owes a little to Hammond, whose interest in that field is reflected in her being a founding member of the Costume Society and is represented by a few pieces in this archive. The greater part of the original artwork here comprises engravings, including 9 of Hammond's woodblocks one of which features some 16 small engravings for vignette and border designs, with all of the 7 vignettes present on a proof sheet. There are further prints of her wood-engravings, and some of her work in lino and zinc (the original engraved plate present) and etchings in some cases in multiple versions, each differently coloured. The collection includes proofs from her illustration work, including of her dustjacket design for the Everyman edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, alongside her original mock-up for a Faber edition of Walton's Compleat Angler (this seemingly unpublished), as well as various sketches in ink and pencil and scattered notes. Among the most charming items are a hand-drawn 'Bon Voyage' card illustrated by Hammond on three panels with her manuscript message inside (either unsent or this a retained draft) and an original silk-screen stencil of a hot-air balloon ride. The prospectus and time-table for her first year at Maidstone College (1940-41) and a late etching called 'The Gateway' form the respective poles in the archive's chronological span, offering a compelling record of a busy career.
