Clair de Lune.
Verdigris Press. Verlaine, Paul.
[Octon, France]: Verdigris Press, 2009. Artist's book, one of 20 copies, from a total issue of 24 copies (4 deluxe with an original copperplate and 20 regular), all on Hahnemuhle paper, each signed and numbered by the artist, Judith Rothchild. Page size: 7-3/4 x 4 inches; 14pp. Bound by Mark Lintott: leporello style laid into bordeaux paper-over-boards folder, title in black on front panel, matching publisher's slipcase, papers are original serigraph prints made by Ms. Rothchild with darker bordeaux printing in pattern of sunflowers and tendril border, matching label on spine with title, author, artist, and press printed in black. Mr. Lintott has hand-set and printed Verlaine's poem in Vendome romain, taken from his FETES GALANTES. The text follows the seductive mezzotints that are still life's with shells, moon, feathers, and dice - fantasy images with a decidedly art moderne feel. Another elegant book from Ms. Rothchild and Mr. Lintott. (Item ID: 10304)
