Edwin Farish. Arizona. 2024. 110 pages. 420 x 320 mm. 17 point Stymie on 190 gsm Bockingford mould made and 148 gsm Zerkall with 26 digital paintings by Leslie Gerry. Printed on 12 colour Epson large format printer. 90 copies: 75 quarter-bound in leather and printed cloth laminated boards in a slipcase covered with a printed fabric. Price: £1600. 15 on 250 gsm Moulin du Gue and 190 gsm Saunders Waterford, bound in goatskin leather with a leather inlaid pattern inspired by an American Indian third phase chief blanket, housed in a solander box covered in fabric printed with a cactus illustration, and a cloth-covered portfolio of 8 signed prints laid in. Price: £4500. A two week trip around Arizona in spring 2023 inspired the creation of this book. Arizona is a vibrant tapestry of desert vistas, towering red rocks, deep canyons, and lush forests. The 26 paintings represent my first impressions of the overpowering and ancient beauty of the State. The text similarly refects first impressions, but of the early settlers, collected by Thomas Edwin Farish in his History of Arizona, published in 1914.
