London / New York: Allison & Busby Limited, 1982. First edition. Hardcover, Black Boards, Gilt Lettering on Spine . Original, Very Good Condition/near fine. Richard Vicary. Published in association with Oscar Lewenstein. John Hoyland was a teacher who later became a journalist. The Ivy Garland was his first children's book. Richard Vicary (1918 - 2006) was a British artist and printmaker. Vicary was particularly known for his lithographic landscape prints, influenced by the British Neo-Romantic painters and printmakers such as Graham Sutherland, Ceri Richards and John Piper. Vicary's special interest in lithography led him to write two books, The Manual in Lithography (1976), and The Advanced Manual in Lithography (1977). He created the linocut illustrations for this children's book The Ivy Garland (1982). Vicary's prints are widely collected and have been bought by numerous education authorities, among them Bath University and St Thomas' Hospital, and many private collectors. Commissions for his work included producing poster poems for West Midland Arts and the Housman Society. To my knowledge this is the only book that Vicary illustrated. 96pp. DJ not clipped. No inscriptions or markings, as new throughout. [see image scan of actual book], Allison & Busby Limited, 1982, 3.5<
