Banned Books Written By Women on the Subject of Love & Desire
This limited edition fine press book and deck of fifty-two cards features women whose writing about romance, love, or sexuality has been banned, censored, or challenged either in their lifetime or posthumously, in their homeland or abroad.
A Limited Edition, Letterpress Book: A handprinted and handbound 65 page book featuring a curated selection of banned works by women, spanning from 1007 to 2008. Discover authors whose stories have been deemed too provocative and too honest.
The book contains a tipped in, foldout letterpress printed copy of George Sand's Letter to her Critics, as well as a bibliography and chronological list of the authors and their books. The book is hand printed using a Vandercook Universal III printing press. The paper for the book is Rives Lightweight Book Paper from France. The book is hand sewn and bound in a wood veneer paper from Hiromi Papers in L.A. The cover has a handprinted design by Sarah Wyman Whitman that spans both sides of the book's cover. The endsheets are Hahnemuhle Ingres paper from Germany.
A Deck of 52 Illustrated Cards: Each 3x5 card features a quote from the author's work with an illustration that has been adapted from earlier illustrated editions of the work, or reflects the time period and spirit of the work.
The cards are letterpress printed on both sides in the Deluxe Edition. The back of the cards are printed on four colors of Hahnemuhle Ingres paper and feature four different illustrations by Sarah Wyman Whitman. These illustrations are adaptations of Wyman Whitman's book cover art. An illustration and quotation are featured on the front of each card, handprinted on the Legion Cotton Pearl White cardstock which has been adhered with archival quality adhesive to the Hahnemuhle Ingres colored paper on the backs. The cards are housed in a handmade box made of wood veneer from Hiromi Paper in L.A. and St Armand Mill colored paper with a silk tie.
Historical Context and Insight: The book includes a comprehensive bibliography, a chronological timeline of the featured authors, and a special, tipped-in letter from the author George Sand who wrote a defiant response to the critics challenging her work. This folded letter was handprinted on Arches BFK Rives paper from France and includes a small ornamental decoration by Sarah Wyman Whitman.
