5/10 COPIES signed by Susan Allix, printed in various colours and using various papers (Somerset mouldmade and Korean handmade), 15 illustrations by the artist in various media with facing text, predominantly intaglio and lino-cut, in the case of the former using shaped plates, coloured and with use of embossing, graphite, metal…lic foil (preponderance of copper) and chine collé, tissue guards, oblong 8vo, original quarter blue-grey morocco, grey cloth sides with collaged illustrations of sea-birds using different papers, leather and a copper-strip, in a cloth dropback box with a tray of pebbles mounted to the inside-lid (see below), fine. An imaginative evocation of the coast through layered images and sparse text; most ingeniously, it adds a sound element by incorporating into its box the enduring device of a tray of pebbles collected from the shore, providing a tidal shuffle when opened.

12/13 COPIES (from an edition of 18 copies) printed on Lana Royal Crown 220 gsm paper and signed by Susan Allix, 12 illustrations in different media, the majority either colour-printed or hand-coloured: woodcut, linocut, etching, pen & ink, gouache, the frontispiece signed by the artist in pencil, title-page printed in sandy bro…wn and sea-green, the pen and ink drawing with some tiny spots, use of different papers with apertures, pp. [40], oblong 8vo, original quarter teal morocco, onlay of mid-blue morocco lettered in blue, white cloth sides, with a tidal wash in different shades of blue to inner margins, a couple of faint handling marks at head, in a white with blue stripes drawstring beach-bag, one tie with shells attached, pocket to front enclosing card bearing title, very good. A seaside story, whose textual component has been eroded to leave only punctuation - allowing each reader to either add their own verbal component, or enjoy the artist's visual response to the coast in near-silence. It is a companion-work to Allix's most recent book, 'Shoreline', wherein the images evoking the landscape are accompanied by the quiet-audio element of pebbles held within the binding.
