405. (Vale Press) Watry, Maureen M. THE VALE PRESS, CHARLES RICKETTS, A PUBLISHER
IN EARNEST. New Castle and London: Oak Knoll Press and The British Library, 2004, small 4to.,
cloth, dust jacket. 256 pages. ISBN 9781584560722. $95.00 $71.25
First edition. The Vale Press is the story of typographer, publisher and wood engraver Charles Ricketts (1866-1931)
and his famous press. Ricketts was a versatile and innovative practitioner of the printing arts who exerted a
powerful influence on the development of modern book design. The Vale Press is the most comprehensive history
of this early private press. Beginning with his work as "a designer of books and bindings" for Oscar Wilde, the
story of the Vale Press reveals for the first time the nature of Ricketts's collaboration with the master printer
Charles McCall of the Ballantyne Press, and the degree to which his success, both artistic and commercial,
depended upon the transformation of his redundant skill as a wood engraver into a positive medium of artistic
expression. This work includes a complete bibliography of the Vale Press's books and ephemera and is illustrated
in color and black-and-white. [Order No. 76292]
