A Checklist of Bookplates by Anne Jope

"I should start by saying that in total I have only produced 15 bookplates. all done before 1992. They are wood engravings, so are hand engraved in reverse onto boxwood blocks and then each bookplate is individually hand printed on an Albion-type press (an Atlas). These were fun to do for friends or as commissions but I came to the conclusion eventually that the amount of effort and preparation were uneconomic and so chose instead to concentrate on limited edition prints, illustrations and paintings."

I thought your readers might be interested to see the beautiful Atlas printing press on which wood engravings and linocuts were printed (attached below).

BA Hons in Fine Art (Painting) at Central School of Art and Design, Holborn, London, followed by Post Grad Advanced Printmaking, where I studied with Blair Hughes Stanton, a great printmaker, and Ian Mortimer.

I exhibit where I can but don't have any that represent me. I'm a member of several societies who have annual shows and sell work, and of course do illustrations to commission.

Attached below is a limited ed. linocut print 'RIVERBANK' (16 overprintings of transparent ink on several pieces of lino, and lots of textures), now sold out.

'Riverbank', was done about the same time as the bookplates,. 

The image is much larger; it measures 59 x 40 cms.
