Vivien Gribble
Twenty Wood Engravings
by Ian Rogerson
Vivien Gribble (1888-1932) engraved in an idiosyncratic, black-line style which is easily recognized but hard to emulate. She was one of the earliest of the artist-engravers, trained by Noel Rooke, and she exhibited with the Society of Wood Engravers in their second exhibition in 1921.
Printed in this book are 20 truly charming small engravings from the 1922 Sixe Idillia, and Keats’ Odes (1923), printed from the blocks in a compact format, one to a page where they really sing. An introduction by Ian Rogerson sets the work in context.
64 pages printed letterpress, bound in quarter cloth and Claire Maziarczyk pastepaper over boards, 250 copies, June 2018.
Price £95, postage free.
