Paperback. Condition: New. 'To know his work without his talk is "not to know him" .only when they are side by side is the common origin and aim seen and the complete man displayed.' Thus Thomas Rooke, studio assistant to Burne-Jones, who over four years memorised and recorded much of his master's studio and lunch-table talk. Th…e man revealed with startling freshness and immediacy is far from the familiar painter of knightly melancholy and abstract angels. Burne-Jones emerges as a loveable and charming man, far more practical and down-to-earth, far more witty and ironic than might have been expected. He may still regret that he was not born in the Middle Ages and reminisce about the golden years with William Morris and Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the 1850's and 60's. But he is still hard at work on his last great collaboration with Morris, the Kelmscott Chaucer, while not hesitating to fulminate about Britain's imperial pretensions and the hypocrisy that accompanied them. And he is unfailingly articulate when it comes to discussing the craft of painting in relation to himself, his contemporaries and the giants of the past. The conversations are edited by Mary Lago, Professor of English at the University of Missouri-Columbia, who also wrote extensively on William Rothenstein, Rabindranath Tagore and E. M. Forster.

Add to basketFourteenth edition. Recent craft binding of quarter light green leather and light blue cloth boards, six raised bands, with gilt titles to the spine and also in dark green to the upper board. Marbled endpapers. With a black and white frontispiece, 24 black and white plates, and various small black and white line-drawn diagrams,…typography and illustrations throughout. An errata slip is tipped in facing p. 430. Printed in black and variously in red throughout. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, with a small brown mark to the upper board, and some fading to the lightly rubbed spine and the extreme top edge of the upper board. The contents, with a college stamp to the title page and a little toning and light spotting to the top edge of the closed text block, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions. 12 page publisher's catalogue to the rear. Widely regarded as 'the father of modern calligraphy' (with Rudolf Koch), Edward Johnston's handbook, reissued here, was first published in 1906 while he was teaching at the Royal College of Art in London. Johnson has since been credited with inventing 'the foundational hand' (originally called 'the slanted pen hand'), a simply crafted round calligraphic handwriting style written with a broad pen, which he explores several times in this volume. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. All items are catalogued by humans. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.

Publisher's quarter buckram over paper-covered boards. Signed and inscribed by the author, Edward Johnston, at the half-title page: "Given to H.C.D.C. by E.J. 14. June 1908." Directly above the inscrip…tion is the former owner's initials in gold leaf, designed, cut and "worked in" by Johnston himself. The former owner, Henry C. D. Chorlton (1887-1929), was an artist and member of the Northern Art Workers Guild, who visited Johnson at his home in Hammersmith. His bookplate at the front paste-down briefly details the visit and Johnston's extraordinary gift of a monogram in manuscript. An extraordinary copy of the masterpiece by the father of modern calligraphy, which remains the definitive history and manual of the art. VERY GOOD. Shows an additional small bookplate noting this book at one time bequeathed to Chorlton's niece, at the back paste-down bookplates for the Athenaeum Graphic Club and Baylis House, the book itself with slight handling and shelf wear, marginal shelf rubbing of the extremities, fore-edge alone is lightly foxed, slightly over-opened at the signature, otherwise the binding is strong and tight, the text is clean and unmarked, and the boards remain bright and distinct.
