The rest of the edition was bound in quarter vellum and Japanese patterned paper boards. "For many years he [Cox] had practised shutting his eyes, concentrating, drawing. . . . All sorts of effects were achieved in blind drawings, a whirling ballet in line on white. Each was signed, dated and given a BD stamp of affirmation in red". Chambers, Franklin & Tucker 30, p. 156-158. The present book represents some of Cox's finest achievements using this idiosyncratic mode of drawing. Far from a mere curiosity, Cox's blind drawings clearly reflect a spiritual accomplishment of a high order; though the result of an unconventional discipline, the drawings are marked with the elegance of line and subtlety of feeling that come only from long submission to the constraint of technique. A very fine copy. 4to, original full gilt-decorated vellum with ribbon ties..... More
