Title
A name given to the resource
41 Stunning Books: A selection of modern private press books. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
The private press books on show are all hand-crafted: printed on fine paper, bound individually, limited in issue number, and almost all contain fine illustrative matter, usually wood-cuts or engravings. With such superb productions, it is inevitable that a number of well-known illustrators were commissioned to illustrate these books. Such artists include Eric Gill, Blair Hughes-Stanton, and the Dunedin-born John Buckland Wright. Presses featured include the Kelmscott Press, founded by William Morris, the "Father of the Arts and Craft Movement", the Doves Press, and Lucien Pissarro's Eragny Press, to the Welsh Gregynog Press, the Ashendene Press, and local New Zealand operations such as Caxton Press and The Pear Tree Press. Notable items on display include The Tale of King Coustans (1894), an original Kelmscott production, a Rampant Lion Press printing of Samuel Johnson's The Vanity of Human Wishes (1984), Robert Louis Stevenson's Prayers (1999), a 1993 spread featuring Rimbaud's poem Voyelles (Vowels), Judith Haswell's painstaking three year production of Potsherds and Geraniums (1988-91), and Alan Loney's experimental Dawn/Water (1979) and Squeezing the Bones (1983).
This exhibition was opened on 24 June 2004.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The paucity of studies on the history of leaf printing led Rod Cave and Geoffrey Wakeman to produce this limited edition publication of 333 copies under the Brewhouse Press imprint, run by Trevor Hickman and Rigby Graham. It contains tipped-in illustrations of this art (such as Leonardo da Vinci’s description of leaf printing) and a wonderful but very fragile real leaf cover.
