This weekend I am heading off to The Netherlands to exhibit in the statuesque Zuiderkerk in Amsterdam. I have put together a list of illustrated, hand-printed and beautifully bound books from all over Europe, which show connections and influences flowing freely between the different countries.

There are several works made by H.N. Werkman in his clandestine press printed in French, German and Dutch and books and prints by John Buckland Wright which he created in Holland, France and Britain and are printed in French, Dutch and English.

British Private Press books feature strongly with some wonderful pieces from the Eragny Press in London which was run by Lucien Pissarro and his wife and include illustrations by the great French artist Camille Pissarro, all of which are printed in French. William Morris is represented with a good example of the work of the Kelmscott Press and the first Dutch fine printing of Morris’s Art and Society, 1903. In addition a stunning copy of the illuminated Ashendene Press Song of Songs will be on my stand together with two of Hornby’s books printed in Italian and Latin.
