And she's a fantastic writer, so it won't hurt anybody to read her book in any case. Actually I like her early work the best - A Few Fair Days, A Long Way from Verona, Bilgewater.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020242863144175965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-56958174186199922572011-05-07T23:12:25.528+01:002011-05-07T23:12:25.528+01:00Jane - I think this was a true collaboration of ki...Jane - I think this was a true collaboration of kindred minds. I suspect Flight made the drawings, and then the two of them cut the lino blocks together. The thing that particularly stands out for me in these works is the sense of an artist (or pair of artists) trying to create a truly democratic and accessible form of fine art. Although these are original prints, they are not treated as "fine art" - they are printed back-to-back, and the paper is not especially interesting. Yet, oddly enough, they are just as rare as the signed-and-numbered-out-of-50 exhibition prints. And I don't think any of these were editioned or exhibited; so far as I know this was the only printing (apart from a few artist proofs, no doubt).Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020242863144175965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-59719239824988071192011-05-07T23:06:13.519+01:002011-05-07T23:06:13.519+01:00Thanks, David - Sorry for the delay in replying, I...Thanks, David - Sorry for the delay in replying, I've been away.

Thank you for pointing out that Edith Lawrence contibuted, too. Shades of Jane Welsh Carlyle's poignant "I, too, am here." That said, the iamges are just what you might imagine from a person named Flight - full of color and movement. Very enjoyable.Jane Librizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943563452168571716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-340634554199883217.post-10124157110591235312011-05-02T12:44:39.166+01:002011-05-02T12:44:39.166+01:00great post.. thank very muchgreat post.. thank very muchDavid Herberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723925131514520589noreply@blogger.com
