cloth, paper spine label. 8vo. cloth, paper spine label. xii, 198, (2) pages. Edited and with commentary by Joyce Lancester Wilson. Limited to 850 copies and printed from Monotype Ehrhardt at the press of W. Thomas Taylor. Adrian Wilson (1923-1988) was internationally known as a designer and printer of fine books. During his car…eer, he produced over 200 titles, authored a standard text, The Design of Books for his field, wrote two important scholarly books on early printing and manuscripts, and inspired the friendship of a wide circle of fellow bibliophiles around the world. Less well-known is that Wilson was a conscientious objector during the Second World War and that he learned the rudiments of printing in a work camp at Waldport, Oregon, to which he was assigned. When Wilson left home to attend Wesleyan University in September 1941, he began to write long, intimate letters to his parents, almost daily, describing his life at college, his growing involvement with pacifists there and his struggle to decide on a course of action. These letters are now published for the first time here in this work designed by Jerry Kelly and printed from Monotype Ehrhardt at the Press of W. Thomas Taylor.

Deckle edge. 8 3/4" x 13 1/2." Eight unnumbered pages, complete. One color illustration, complete. Pages and covers are very clean and intact except for a slight bit of wrinkling. A Fin…e copy. Colophon in the back: "Three-hundred and fifty copies have been printed by Adrian Wilson with the assistance of Clifford Burke at the Press in Tuscany Alley, San Francisco, for presentation by Joseph M. Bransten and Adrian Wilson to the members of the Zamorano and Roxburghe Clubs at their joint meeting in Los Angeles in September 1974. The types are Cristal from Deberny & Peignot, Paris, and Van Dijck composed by Mackenzie & Harris, Inc. The papers are Tweedweave and Colophon text from the Butler Paper Company." This pamphlet contains a facsimile broadside that was originally published by Dembour & Gangel around 1850. The Introduction by Joseph M. Bransten and Adrian Wilson explains the provenance of the facsimile, "During 1973 an exhibition from the Department of Prints and Drawings at the Bibliotheque Nationale of Paris was held at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. Joseph M. Bransten, a member of the Roxburghe Club, took particular delight in a colorful broadside titled Mine d'Or de la Californie which gave a distinctly French view of life and mining in this region in 1850. He conceived the idea that it might be reproduced, with a translation, for the 1974 joint meeting of the Roxburghe and Zamorano Clubs. He asked his fellow-Roxburgher Adrian Wilson if he would secure permission to reproduce it during the latter's research summer in Europe. . Joyce Lancaster Wilson translated it without any recognition of the strange faraway land it described. At home in Tuscany Alley she and Melissa Wilson added the coloring to the picture." The broadside describes some of California's geography, history, and its gold mines during the Gold Rush. The facsimile is followed by the English translation.

About ADRIAN WILSON (from a 1988 NY Times Obituary): ******Adrian Wilson, a book designer and scholar who was considered one of America's leading fine printers, died Wednesday in San Francisco. He was 64 years old. Working out of a small San Francisco studio known as '"The Press at Tuscany Valley," Mr. Wilson designed and printed scores of books. His many volumes, while little known to the general public, are famous among print connoisseurs, and many are collectors' items. In 1983, Mr. Wilson won a MacArthur Fellowship. He is survived by his wife and by his daughter, Melissa Wilson Marshall, of San Francisco.******. Adrian Wilson (illustrator).
