Description

Includes of 22 wood-engravings by Leo Bensemann (1912-1986), a New Zealand artist whose importance is becoming ever more widely recognised. The artist's original blocks have been kindly loaned to the Holloway Press by the Bensemann family, and the engravings printed directly from them, a method of printing wood-engravings pioneered in New Zealand in the 1940s by The Caxton Press in the 1940s, the firm in which Bensemann was a partner and printer. A Book of Wood Engravings by E. Mervyn Taylor (1946) and Engravings on Wood by Rona Dyer (1948) were both produced in this fashion. Leo Bensemann was active as a wood-engraver from about 1940 to the early 1950s (though one engraving dates from 1975). It was the only print-medium he practised with any regularity. Some of his woodblocks were printed in Caxton Press publications, such as the periodical Book (1941-46) and their distinctive Specimen Books of Printing Types (1940, 1956). Others were shown at annual Group Show exhibitions, and six were included in A Second Book of Leo Bensemann's Work (Caxton Press, 1952)&—his &‘first' book was Fantastica: thirteen drawings (1937), of which The Holloway Press produced a second edition in 1997 (now out of print). Of the 22 engravings included 11 have been previously published or exhibited; the others are published here for the first time (though some exist in the form of prints held in family collections). -- Publisher's blurb.
