Book is protected with a clear archival Grafix Dura Lar dust wrapper. LEC Monthly Letter laid in. ______CONDITION: Book is in fine (as new") condition. Clamshell box is lightly bumped at lower front and rear corners, otherwise fine.______DISCUSSION: This is one of the most successful of the late-LEC editions from Sidney Shiff, a perfect marriage of illustrator and work of literature, hardly surprising since artist John Wilson selected this story as the work he wished to illustrate. Down by the Riverside was one of the highlights in Wright's seminal 1938 collection Uncle Tom's Children. Wilson's dark, brooding, atmospheric drawings capture the tension and underlying sense of dread that permeate this work._____NOTE: This is an extremely large, heavy edition. Domestic shipping with UPS Ground + tracking is $35. International shipping cost using USPS International Priority Mail is $125 to most locations in the United Kingdom and Europe. More distant locations may incur additional cost. The additional funds for international shipping will be requested following purchase. John Wilson (illustrator). Signed by Illustrator(s).

Contact seller4-star sellerWRIGHT, Richard. Down by the Riverside. Illustrated by John Wilson. 73 pp., with 4 colour etchings. Folio, 305 x 400 mm., publisher's full blue linen in matching clam shell case. New York: Limited Editions Club, 2001. A handsome illustrated edition of Wright's 1938 story. In Wilson's own words "I chose to illustrate this story b…ecause of Wright's vivid dramatic setting. Etching techniques like aquatint and spit biting were ideal to interpret the dark brooding, murky atmosphere. Above all, the river with its powerful currents and its violent energy . . . seemed to symbolize basic forces of nature. I wanted the blue translucent shapes and flowing rhythms of the water to carry the figures from one episode to the next." One of an edition of 300 copies, signed by Wilson.
