Marbled Monday

This sunny Marbled Monday, as we here in Wisconsin wait for the weather to catch up to the seasons and feel spring-like, I’ve selected The Seasons by Scottish poet and playwright James Thomson (1700-1748). There have been many editions of The Seasons since its first publication as a complete series of four poems in 1730—this one was published by The Nonesuch Press in 1927. It features five illustrations by an artist simply identified as Jacquier, who I have been unable to otherwise identify. The images are copperplate engravings made by C. Sigrist that were hand colored using watercolor through stencils at The Curwen Press. 

The marbling is a very curly French curl or snail pattern, featuring red, blue, orange, cream, and a greenish-grey. This pattern is created by first dropping colors in to the water bath and then taking a comb with regularly spaced teeth and swirling it in the water bath to make the snail pattern.

New Year's Eve

One door closes and another door opens. We wish you safe and happy festivities for the changing of the year this evening with these final color lithographs by British illustrator Harold Jones (1904-1992) from the children's book This Year: Next Year by the English poet and author Walter de la Mare (1873-1956), published in London by Faber & Faber in 1937.

May the New Year be kind and gracious to you.
