Octavo. (73)pp. Endgrain Editions One. Brandis introduces this compilation of his engravings, and sums up his practice by saying, "My subjects may come from the events of my daily life or from the results of research, but my reason for going on from block to block comes from the knowledge that, wherever or whenever I happened to be born, this is what I was meant to do." What follows is a procession of engravings dating from 1968 to 1997, plus the frontispiece from 1998. Bound in quarter burgundy leather with patterned paper over boards and leather spine label. Fine. Housed with the extra engraving in a slipcase.
