 The Bird Book Relief Etchings by Brian Cohen March 2-April 5, 2008 Begun near the time that Brian D. Cohen and his wife, Holiday Eames, learned they were expecting a child, The Bird Book is a children’s alphabet book of twenty-six hand-colored relief etchings of birds by Cohen with a rhyming couplet written by Eames on each page. The bird’s name corresponds with a letter of the alphabet, shown in both uppercase and lowercase. The book is bound with hand-rubbed bird’s-eye maple boards by Linda Lembke in an edition of twenty-six (A through Z). The text is hand-set Golgonooza Letter Foundry in DeVinne wood and metal type and printed on Somerset Satin paper. The book won the "Best Book in Show" award at the 2006 Pyramid Atlantic Book Arts Fair and is currently on display at the Brattleboro Art Museum in Vermont. |
