In the artist's words: "I love living in Portland for lots of reasons; this piece celebrates some of the more visual ones. Almost every day, I come to a spot where there's a breath-stopping view of water, or an astonishingly large old tree, or a building with a spicy array of architectural doodads, and I think happily to myself, 'I live here.'" In a period where a fair bit of "book art" is glib, Cawley's work is subtle and engaging. Where much is to be seen once, enjoyed and forgotten, Cawley's begs "rereading", as with each rereading one is able to trick out another nuance...another wee tale. Cawley is emerging as a fresh and sophisticated voice in American book arts.

Illustrations by Arthur Rackham. Introduction by A.A. Milne. Rackham had been invited to illustrate the first edition of Willows in 1908, but was unable to accept the project.

While the slipcase is in need of repair/replacement, the volume itself is very handsome.

Cumming following the ownership mark of Denholm dated 1810. From the library of noted American poet and author Lewis Turco. Volumes from Turco's library are easy to identify as he had a (bad) habit of both signing the pastedown and embossing the title page. It does, however, make it easy to establish provenance. He was also practiced bookbinding and this volume is in a binding by Turco (strangely pleasing, but also strangely bound (it is dated 1971, and is thus "early" in his binding efforts)). Overall, a handsome copy of this rather scarce volume.

"Edited by Thomas J. Wise. Pictured by Walter Crane." (from title page) Volume 1 includes a double-page general title; eighty-eight full-page woodcut illustrations (one double-page); and 132 head- and tail-pieces, numerous decorative initials, and printer’s and publisher’s colophons. Originally issued in nineteen parts, the rose front and rear wraps for each section are bound in at rear of respective volumes (also designed by Crane). Printed by the Chiswick Press. “The most important work in the whole long list of books illustrated by Walter Crane…If Crane’s claim to greatness were based entirely on this work, he would still retain his position in the front rank of nineteenth-century artists. The wealth of ideas and forms, real and fantastic, which are embodied in the actual illustrations, and even more in the marvelous decorative border designs, is almost incredible! Besides the numberless presentments of the human figure in all its manly vigour and womanly grace, the whole range of nature’s forms, of animal and plant life, of fabulous, mythological inventions, of allegorical personifications, are worked into decorative designs of exquisite beauty. It would be petty, nay foolish, to try to find fault with certain very obvious shortcomings as regards anatomical drawing in a work which does not only stand unique as pure decoration, but speaks of an amount of knowledge and a wealth of imagination that command unrestricted admiration and respect” (Konody, p. 71).
