works by instructors of book arts
Villon I
(1992)
Published by Ruda Klinkovsky. Wood cuts by Karel Bvolinsky. Full leather French binding covered in black and red Nigerian goatskin inlays. The design depicts ravens ain flight. This motif evokes a scene described in "Ballad of the Hanged Man," a poem included among this edition's selection. The raven's wings were designed as flames in order to symbolize the intolerance of the age. Destruction by fire was frequently the fate of heretics and the heretical books they authored.
Villon II

Published by Ruda Klinkovsky. Wood cuts by Karel Bvolinsky. Modified German binding structure covered in Harmatan black and crimson goatskin and J. Skoch white goatskin. Front and back covers are made with windows which contain figures that can be fully rotated.
