Description: Introduction by John Craig. Limited edition; folio; original cloth boards. Edition of 800 copies. This work sets out to illustrate all the engravings now known to have been made by Ravilious. He was also a vivid correspondent and many of his letters (some published here for the first time), refer directly to the commission, engraving and reception of a number of the illustrations. The book has been enhanced by the Ravilious, Bawden and Bliss families who have made available scrapbooks and files including preparatory drawings, and by access to three large collections of Ravilious's work. Many of the engravings were previously illustrated in the 1972 Lion and Unicorn Press book, but they were not well produced and a major effort has been made with this publication to identify good impressions of engravings and reproduce them to the highest standard. Fine in slipcase.
