Title
A name given to the resource
41 Stunning Books: A selection of modern private press books. Online exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
The private press books on show are all hand-crafted: printed on fine paper, bound individually, limited in issue number, and almost all contain fine illustrative matter, usually wood-cuts or engravings. With such superb productions, it is inevitable that a number of well-known illustrators were commissioned to illustrate these books. Such artists include Eric Gill, Blair Hughes-Stanton, and the Dunedin-born John Buckland Wright. Presses featured include the Kelmscott Press, founded by William Morris, the "Father of the Arts and Craft Movement", the Doves Press, and Lucien Pissarro's Eragny Press, to the Welsh Gregynog Press, the Ashendene Press, and local New Zealand operations such as Caxton Press and The Pear Tree Press. Notable items on display include The Tale of King Coustans (1894), an original Kelmscott production, a Rampant Lion Press printing of Samuel Johnson's The Vanity of Human Wishes (1984), Robert Louis Stevenson's Prayers (1999), a 1993 spread featuring Rimbaud's poem Voyelles (Vowels), Judith Haswell's painstaking three year production of Potsherds and Geraniums (1988-91), and Alan Loney's experimental Dawn/Water (1979) and Squeezing the Bones (1983).
This exhibition was opened on 24 June 2004.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The artistry of the Titirangi-based bookmaker Elizabeth Steiner inspired Alan Loney, a New Zealand poet and private press owner, and Claire Van Vliet, an American bookmaker, to construct this book. By creating a double paper binding, each separate page can be folded outwards. The inspiration for the poem by Loney was a photograph of Governors Bay, taken by Van Vliet. The slipcase accompanies the book, no. 16 of 150 copies.
