Provenance: David and Diana Wilson. ¶¶¶First edition, one of 850 copies in boards, from an edition of 960. The first issue bound in boards in order to accommodate the growing scope of each volume, Matrix 7 presents a cornucopia of articles on book history, book production, and the associated arts. These include John Dreyfus's fascinating article on 'French Resistance Printing' richly illustrated with photographs of people at work at Les Editions de Minuit, and those involved in printing pamphlets and posters, and Michael Taylor's profile of Enid Marx, which is followed by Marx herself on Chelsea's 'The Little Gallery', which Muriel Rose and Margaret Turnbull ran from 1928 to the outbreak of the Second World War (the boards of this issue are covered with paper designed by Marx). The Australian-born wood engraver Edwina Ellis contributes 'A Moroccan Diary' with colour illustrations from her travel sketchbook, and Roderick Cave continues his edition and exploration of the correspondence between John O'Connor and Christopher Sandford (which commenced in Matrix 6). This copy is from the library of the late David and Diana Wilson. David Wilson was a printer, friend and collaborator of Graham Williams (the founder of the Florin Press), and collector of private press books. ¶¶¶FURTHER INFORMATION: please contact us for further information about this item and prices for shipping.
