“Inspiration” had its first reading at the third annual convention of the Western Association of Architects at Chicago, November 17, 1886 (source).

From Wikipedia:

Louis Henry Sullivan (September 3, 1856 – April 14, 1924) was an American architect, and has been called the “father of skyscrapers” and “father of modernism” He is considered by many as the creator of the modern skyscraper, was an influential architect and critic of the Chicago School, was a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright, and an inspiration to the Chicago group of architects who have come to be known as the Prairie School. Along with Henry Hobson Richardson and Frank Lloyd Wright, Sullivan is one of “the recognized trinity of American architecture”.

“Inspiration” by Louis H. Sullivan is available as a hardbound, hand-printed volume from The Clinker Press in very limited quantity.

From Wikipedia:

The Taller de Gráfica Popular (Spanish: “People’s Graphic Workshop”) was a artist’s print collective founded in Mexico in 1937 by artists Leopoldo Méndez,[1] Pablo O’Higgins, and Luis Arenal. The collective was primarily concerned with using art to advance revolutionary social causes. The print shop became a base of political activity and abundant artistic output, and attracted many foreign artists as collaborators.

An extremely limited edition of only 50, TGP – El Taller de Gráfica Popular Print Collection is a must for those interested in the printmaking legacy of Mexico.

From Wikipedia:

Charles Sumner Greene (1868–1957) and Henry Mather Greene (1870–1954) were influential early 20th Century American architects. Active primarily in California, their bungalow houses and larger-scale ultimate bungalows are prime exemplars of the American Arts and Crafts Movement.

From Wikipedia’s account of the work:

“The Raven” made Edgar Allan Poe a household name almost immediately and turned Poe into a national celebrity. Readers began to identify poem with poet, earning Poe the nickname “The Raven”. The poem was soon widely reprinted, imitated, and parodied. Though it made Poe popular in his day, it did not bring him significant financial success. As he later lamented, “I have made no money. I am as poor now as ever I was in my life—except in hope, which is by no means bankable”.

As noted by Anthony Daniels, “Literary fashion is as fickle and inexplicable as any other kind of fashion. In France, Stefan Zweig is regarded as one of the great writers of the 20th century….By contrast, he is neglected in all English-speaking countries.”

From Daniels’ piece on Zweig from the Telegraph:

The subject of the collapse of civilisation brought about by the First World War is another central theme in Zweig’s fiction. It is brilliantly encapsulated in the short story Buchmendel about a Galician Jewish book-peddler – a walking encyclopedia of bibliographical information – who is so engrossed in his subject that he doesn’t even notice that the war has broken out. When he sends letters to London and Paris enquiring as to why the latest copies of some bibliographical journals have not reached him, the Austrian authorities conclude that he must be a spy writing in code – and arrest him.

This volume includes original artwork from the original, hand printed and hard bound using custom stock. It is part of The Clinker Press’ series on needlework and embroidery.

The Earthly Paradise, a large collection of poems of medieval wanderers who set out to search for a land of everlasting life; after much disillusion, they discover a surviving colony of Greeks with whom they exchange stories. The collection brought him almost immediate fame and popularity (all of his books thereafter were published as “by the author of The Earthly Paradise”)Before each chapter there was a poem depicting the month.

Based on the peasant revolution of 1381. William Morris printed his version of the story of the unfortunate events that are associated with this attempt to revolt against the unusual taxation ordered by the King.The Clinker Press’ Andre Chaves has “extracted the speech as imagined by William Morris with the intention of isolating the message from the events of 1381. It is possible, arguably, that some might be able to reflect on our current civilization and conclude that the similarities between minimum-wage workers and serves on one hand, and large corporations and the King on the other, are far greater than initially assumed. The dream of John Ball is just as appropriate to our time as to the Middle Ages.”
 

The essay focuses on the historical premise for the natural arbor in Pasadena, based on the author’s extensive research and aesthetic impressions of our classic Southern California city.

The Clinker Press published The Greening of Pasadena in 2010.
