Some of Joe Lubbock's finest work with several plates approaching abstraction from figurative inspiration found in the natural world from the author's native Suffolk to the mountains of Central Asia. The edition is hand-bound by George Percival at Leicester. In this book Lubbock meditates on the wonders of nature ('A long life's love of Earth's lands and waters, from my grove by the river to the seas of the Horn, and the companionship of countless creatures from the little Blue butterfly to the great Blue whale.') and expresses the hope that with greater understanding of the interconnection of vulnerable habitats and endangered species will come stronger measures for their conservation. In 1967 J.G.Lubbock retired to work on his wonderful books of engravings inspired by the spiritual nature of the landscape and the sea. They are full of atmosphere and depth of feeling and deserve their place in the history of contemporary livres d'artistes. quarter blue oasis niger over yellow cloth boards, gilt on cover and spine, quarter leather over marbled boards folding case with handmade paper linings incorporating flowers into the paper, original publisher's acetate dustjacket, decorated paper-covered slipcase.…
