The Charm of Magpies
The heart of the book is the ten two-colour linocut prints by Nick Wonham, the illustrator. Each one 8 x 6 inches, their bold, dense colours add to the edgy feel of the images. These accompany and face the traditional and childlike verse woven through the book. Hand set in Monotype Bemb from 24 to 72 points in size. The numerals are Winchester 30-line woodtype from Stephenson, Blake. The paper is 170gsm Zerkall. Bound with a cloth spine and printed paper over boards with specially printed flyleaves by Roger Grech at his Papercut Bindery. Signed by the artist.
Edition 160, 370 x 260mm.
