Here is some work done since the main website was set up in 2003. As well as various bookplates and ephemera, this included five engravings and a small portrait (left) for The Gypsies and Other Poems by Alexander Pushkin, translated by Antony Wood, to be published in due course by David Godine in Boston. Two of these are shown below.

Much of 2003 and ‘4 was taken up with the sixteen full-page illustrations for Legends of the Ring, a compilation by Elizabeth Magee of all the Norse and Germanic texts which inspired Wagner’s cycle of operas, published by The Folio Society in August 2004. Four of these engravings are shown below.

This page was added in the spring of 2005 and will stand as ‘new’ work until anything newer cries out to supplant it.
