Extracts of proof from the case of Campbell v Celtic at Glasgow Sheriff Court from April - November 1898
Thich Nhat Hanh wrote that every little thing is contained in everything else. When you look hard enough at a piece of paper, you can see the tree it came from, the rain that grew the tree, the cloud that gave the rain, the birds that soared on the wind from the cloud. It's how all things are connected. See the tiger in the raindrop? It's proof of reincarnation! :)
First proofs for Anna....
I'm starting to get back in the swing of things! I'll be posting some available proofs
soon so keep a look out for those!
Look - proof I'm in DC!
Last night we had dinner in Havre de Grace MD. We ate at a restaurant called the Tidewater Grill. It was right on the Bay. The SO, Z, and I had lobster ravioli, french fries, and santa fe salad respectively. Then there was a great dessert called Italian Love Cake. It had chocolate cake, whipped cream, mousse, and cream cheese.
Today we hit the American History Museum. The ruby slippers and first ladies' dresses were a hit with the kid. Everything else was not. She was most thrilled with the hot dog vendor. Traveling with a six year old is different. Her highlights so far are changing rooms during the night, riding the trains, and soaking her feet in the WWII memorial. Knock on a whole lot of wood but she still hasn't had a fit.
We did the big memorials outside today. It is meltingly hot. Refill the water bottle at every fountain, splash water on your head hot. I've never seen it so crowded here either. I finally understand how people can get trampled. A subway platform was full and the escalator was still dumping people off when there was nowhere to go. Someone brilliant finally hit the emergency stop on the escalator! Disaster averted.
We are on the train back to Aberdeen now.

... I proofed these for her. the brown paper will actually be raw chipboard with strategic die-cut holes in the final. fuck yes!
I was going to have business cards made to hand out at the shows I have this spring, but that's not my style. Instead, I'll hand these to inquiring minds.
A little more carving and they'll be ready.

The Chronicles Being Read to the King
Wood-engraved proof, 1880
Dalziel after Arthur Boyd Houghton
Pencil and white bodycolour on unengraved boxwood block, c1863
Arthur Boyd Houghton
Like Simeon Solomon, Houghton's work for Dalziels' Bible Gallery (1880) is striking in seeking to bring an authenticity to the Middle-Eastern figures represented. Houghton was born in India and his early background and international interests can be seen in many of his designs for illustrations. Generally, comparing Houghton's preparatory drawings with the Dalziel prints made after them reveals the firm's different approach; Dalziel engravers sometimes exaggerate orientalising elements to make these more legible to their readers.
Houghton himself noticed this and was frustrated by it; in the upper margin of this proof for Dalziels' Bible Gallery, he tersely comments: 'no turban on this Head in Drawing'. Dalziel valued Houghton's original drawing on the woodblock; it survives because it was photographically transferred onto another block in order to be engraved.

The Woodpecking Factory Victorian Illustrations by the Brothers Dalziel
(May to September 2022)
From Pre-Raphaelite fantasies of Arthurian legends to Alice boldly adventuring in Wonderland, the Victorian visual imagination has left an enduring legacy.
But the craftspeople (affectionately known as 'woodpeckers') who engraved such illustrations after designs by John Tenniel and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, to illustrate iconic writings by Lewis Carroll, Christina Rossetti, Charles Dickens and others, are too frequently forgotten.
This intriguing display highlighted over 50 works engraved on wood by the Brothers Dalziel firm, illustrating literary and commercial work published throughout the Victorian period.
In 1913 the British Museum acquired the firm's entire company archive of 54,000 proof wood engravings, now catalogued as part of the Dalziel Project (Opens in new window) in partnership with the University of Sussex. It investigates the vast body of visual art produced by the Brothers Dalziel for everything from popular novels to commercial adverts, global exhibitions and journalism.
Wood engraving revolutionised the mass production of images in the Victorian era. Established in 1839, the Brothers Dalziel (one of whom was a sister – Margaret – a talented senior engraver) became the most successful wood-engraving company in Britain, employing dozens of engravers.
The Brothers Dalziel had enormous cultural power in Victorian Britain, shaping the way people visualised art, goods and ideas. Mostly the engravers made images after designs by draughtspeople, including major artists such as Frederic Leighton and John Everett Millais, and it's these artists who were widely credited and remembered. However, the process was collaborative and the skill of the 'peckers' was considerable.

Since I got a few flickr mails asking to see the proof albums I make myself I thought I'd show an example. Not sure if I'll use this one since I ordered a bound proof book from WHCC for this session, but hey, it's an example.
The cover is a just a plain black report cover with a clear plastic cover and a linen texture. I think these were on sale for $4.99 for a pack of 5. I used to have some with a darling black toile print right on the plastic but I just ran out of those and can't seem to find anymore.
Amelia didn't believe me when I told her she fell asleep in the middle of the movie the other day. Good thing I had proof!
