It’s Fine Press Friday! 

Today we present The Innocent Voyage by British writer Richard Hughes (1900-1976), illustrated by American artist Lynd Ward (1905-1985) and published in New York by The Limited Editions Club, in 1944 in an edition of 1500 copies signed by the artist. The novel was first published in the U.S. by Harper & Brothers in 1929, and in Britain by Chatto and Windus as A High Wind in Jamaica in the same year.    The novel was listed as one of the Modern Library’s 100 Best Novels. It has been adapted into film (1965) and two radio adaptations (1950 and 2000), and it is credited for influencing books such as Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Lynd Ward created more than twenty color lithographs for this edition. Each lithograph consists of four layers of color, pink, yellow, blue, and dark blue in combination they create the great diversity of value and color that we see. Combining the layers so successfully takes the hand of a skilled artist. Lynd Ward drew his illustrations directly on the plates, which were then printed by George C. Miller (1894-1965) in New York. 

This printing was published as a trade edition by Heritage Press, another imprint of George Macy, founder of The Limited Editions Club, in 1944. The trade edition does not contain original lithographs and the fine paper and binding that this edition does. 

Robert L. Dothard designed this book. The text is composed in Linotype Baskerville and was printed at the shop of E. L. Hildreth in Vermont. This edition is bound in a dyed sheepskin and stamped with a decorative illustration in gold foil. The paper is all-rag and was made by the Worthy Paper Company. Each copy is housed in a solander case wrapped in white linen and a lithograph by Lynd Ward. Our copy is a gift of Loryn Romadka to Special Collections, UWM Libraries, from the collection of Austin Fredric Lutter.

What is BASKERVILLE EFFECT? What does BASSKERVILLE EFFECT mean? BASKERVILLE EFFECT meaning - BASKERVILLE EFFECT definition - BASKERVILLE EFFECT explanation. Source: Wikipedia.org article, adapted under http://ift.tt/yjiNZw license. The Baskerville effect, or the Hound of the Baskervilles effect is a statistical observation that mortality through heart attacks is increased by psychological stress. The term derives from the Sherlock Holmes novel The Hound of the Baskervilles in which a big, fierce black dog is made to glow in the dark using phosphorus; the hellish-looking dog chases a man, who runs in fear, and the man breaks his neck. The Baskerville effect was discovered by David Phillips and his colleagues at the University of California, San Diego, who found that daily number of deaths of the 200,000 Chinese, Japanese and Americans who died from heart attacks between 1973 and 1998 was 7% higher on the fourth of the month compared to the average for the other days in that month. Four is considered an unlucky number in Chinese, and hence in the Japanese and Korean, because it sounds like "death" (? pinyin si3). Some Chinese and Japanese hotels and hospitals do not use it as a room number. His hypothesis was that the peak was caused by stress induced by the superstition surrounding this number. Previous research had also shown a complementary effect, mortality falling before auspicious occasions and rising again afterwards.
