Book

A book to encapsulate history and craft

The Absorbed by the Beauty print collection is accompanied by a limited-edition book. Britt is working in collaboration with Katie Beard at Rooksmoor Press producing two volumes, featuring debossed prints in colour and black and white, on luxurious weighted paper, meticulously letter-pressed for an antique, handcrafted feel. This unique project combines a handful of carefully selected photographs of historic tulips with the craftsmanship of traditional book production.

Rooksmoor Press use a rare Monotype system of typesetting and casting hot metal type, which is then letterpress-printed on vintage presses, as described by Katie Beard:

“In an increasingly online world, my work is immersed in the physical; the tactile nature of the lead type and paper, the smell of the ink, and the sounds of the vintage printing equipment. The opportunity to work with Britt on this ambitious limited edition is a real pleasure, with meticulous attention to detail given to each stage of the process.” - Katie Beard, Rooksmoor Press
