Wood Engraving Wednesday

REYNOLDS STONE

In 1938, the Welsh fine-press publisher Gregynog Press produced The Praise and Happinesse of the Countrie-life, originally written in Spanish by Spanish bishop and author Don Antonio de Guevara (c. 1481-1545), printed in an edition of 400 copies with eight original wood engravings by noted English engraver Reynolds Stone (1909-1979). The text is from an English translation by Welsh poet and translator Henry Vaughn (1621-1695) originally published in 1651.  

At 18 cm., this was the smallest book Gregynog would produce, and the 29-year-old Stone matched the scale with these tiny wood-engraved vignettes that are rich in detail and surety of line. We featured some of these engravings a couple of years ago in a post that combined the engravings with others by Stone from another book. We think these engravings are so charming that they deserve a post of there own. Our copy of the book comes from the collection of Welsh author and patron of the arts Leonard Twiston Davies (1894-1953).

Asking in a purely professional and impersonal capacity: Does anyone know if Mr. Bouchard is free this weekend?

No.

And I mean that literally, nobody knows anything about Elias’ personal life. He doesn’t even have an address on file.

But also. Just…no. Don’t. Don’t go there. It will end badly.

Andrew Garfield is like a flirty angel of award shows. The man attends the thing, spreads good vibes and has incredible sexual chemistry with everyone he’s captured with.

I want there to be a random IASIP and WWDITS crossover where Dee and Nadja switch places and neither of the crew realize it's a different woman ( Dee wears a long black wig and would do a truly offensive accent I am sure.) The IASIP crew takes that episode to each for the first and only time genuinely do something nice for Dee, and it's Nadja the whole time.
