"A Contemporary Illumination The Minotaur short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, from Tanglewood Tales, 1853. Additional text includes quotes of Carl Jung and text from Lorem Ipsum. Mindy Belloff, artist, designer, printer, and publisher. Released May 2018, A Golden Thread is a new tour de force edition from Intima Press. This livre d?artiste focuses on the classic Greek tragedy of Theseus, the brave son of King Aegeus, who ventures into Daedalus? labyrinth with his sword at the ready, and a silken thread in hand held by the heroine, Ariadne, who awaits at the entrance to the maze. Composed of 100 original drawings, each page is meticulously designed and letterpress printed in multiple press runs with an elegant color palette. With inspiration from historic illuminated manuscripts, the pages in the first and third sections are adorned with hand drawn initial caps, ornate borders, and lively calligrams. A selection of the exquisite illustrations are hand painted with watercolor and gouache. Elegantly typeset in Adobe Garamond with additional type faces, the text comes alive, as it gradually becomes larger and more animated with each page, as Theseus bravely winds his way through the dreaded labyrinth to confront the bull-headed monster. The dynamic typographic designs of the middle section of the book become more frenzied and chaotic as the narrative describes the fight between the beast and the hero. The pages are printed on lush cotton rag papers with deckled fore edge. The story unfolds on ivory colored pages which darken to tan as our hero enters the mizmaze, and transitions to bright white as he emerges victorious. The St. Armand paper fibers are made of offcuts from the clothing industry (T-shirts, denim) and flax straw sourced from farms." Tight, bright, and unmarred.

Prima edizione
Broadside. Condizione: Fine in Fine Portfolio. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Broadside. '?Setting the Declaration in type was enlightening in many ways, as my thoughts throughout the process were of Mary Katharine in her print shop during the cold month of January, not having 21st century amenities. I could not help but wonder how Mary Katharine must have felt being entrusted to print this stunning proclamation while setting each letter of the text ?all Men are created equal.? Therefore, on July 4th, 2010, I went to press on a second unambiguous edition proclaiming ?all People are created equal?,? explained Mindy Belloff. ?Mary Katharine was an incredibly brave woman for her time. By her actions, she was clearly a pioneer for women?s rights and freedom of the press.?' (Artist statement) In January 1777, Congress commissioned Goddard to print the Declaration for each of the 13 newly formed colonies. This was the first printing to reveal the names of its signers and the first titled the Unanimous Declaration. Goddard, Postmistress of Baltimore and publisher of a weekly newspaper, put herself at risk for treason by printing the document and adding her name at the bottom. To honor Goddard, an American pioneer, and our founding fathers, Intima Press created an accurate reproduction of Goddard?s elegant two-column design of the Declaration, hand set over 7,000 characters in the original Caslon typeface, and printed on paper made specifically for the museum quality re-creation. She then went to press on a second unambiguous edition proclaiming ?all People are created equal? instead of 'all Men.' Introductory text by Harvard historian David Armitage with essay by historian Martha King, and by the Artist. The two pieces are available seperately for $1777 each. Bright and clean. Document 21x16" printed in 2-color black and brown; Essays 21x16" printed in blue and red; inside an archival paper folio; hand set in Caslon & letterpress printed on handmade cotton & linen paper (paper custom made by Katie MacGregor, Maine). Limited edition of 100 copies.
