Portfolio of sixty-eight wood engravings, edition of 300, published in 1968 by The Two Horse Press. The engravings were printed by Will and Sebastian Carter at the Rampant Lions Press, Cambridge, England. Fifty-five of the engravings were printed from the original blocks; thirteen were reproduced from wood engravings because the original blocks had been planed smooth and reused. Includes a 9-3/4" x 12" booklet bound in dark orange cover stock with a diagonal crease in the lower right front cover, containing "An Appreciation" by Ruari McLean and "A Glimpse Of The Artist" by Armida Maria-Theresa Colt. A second folder contains the engravings and a checklist.. Both are housed in a clamshell portfolio box made by Gray's of Cambridge, covered with brown cloth with a dark orange title strip pasted to the spine; the box measures 10-3/8" x 12-13/16" x 1½" and is in sound condition but with moderate shelf wear. This is copy 50, and is signed by George Mackley on the edition statement following the title page. The text and engravings, printed on mould-made paper, are in fine condition.

Theater Poster, 1897; 40" x 28" overall. Printed by A. Haase, Prague. Condition B+; repaired tears at edges, some into image; restored losses and overpainting in margins; repaired pin holes in corners. Rare.

The enduring popularity of Gerhart Hauptmann's play Die Weber drew talented artists into its orbit, including Emil Orlik, who created this poster in 1897. Upon first seeing the poster, Hauptmannwas so impressed that he invited Orlik to Berlin. Die Weber, Orlik's first theater poster, was the catalyst for his subsequent work in poster and set design. From 1903 until his death, Orlik taught at the Arts and Crafts Academy in Berlin, nevertheless maintaining an astonishing output of work that remains highly prized by collectors. This rare poster, connecting as it does three such outsized talents - Hauptmann, Orlik, and Käthe Kollwitz, who was so affected by an early performance of the play that she created the print cycle Die Weberaufstand in response - is a remarkable association piece.

Etching, 1928; edition not stated. Image size 12½” x 17½”; sheet size 14” x 19”. Published by Yale University Press, from the portfolio Ports Of America. This, the title sheet, consists of a number of vignettes and  large view of New York harbor, and is signed in pencil by Orr in the lower margin.

A wonderful series of images, Ports Of America is in effect a series of freeze frames, which capture the energy and scope of the American maritime scene at the height of the great 1920s boom. In this era harbors were emphatically workplaces, unadorned by high-priced residential development and by the intrusion of trendy boutiques and galleries.

These etchings are especially interesting in their portrayal of both steel and wooden hulls during this transitional period, in effect the twilight of sail in commerce that was all but obliterated by the coming Great Depression. Very good condition.
