BP02. Ponder Print
How fortunate that the geologist who commissioned the original was named Ponder Henley! It’s such a wonderful word. When you look closely, you will marvel at the amazing collection of natural forms that Sheila has incorporated into the design, in and around each of the letters: algae molecules, crystal formations, trilobites, rock strata, a volcano, streams, and roots. After the Roundel, her most popular print. 8"x 2 .25". SIGNED.

B3073. Politics and Script / Morison
B3073. Politics and Script: Aspects of Authority and Freedom in the Development of Graeco-Latin Script from the Sixth Century B.C. to the Twentieth Century by Stanley, Morison, Nicolas Barker. (1972). 2000 reprint. 396pp. 11" x 7.5". Hardcover. Limited stock.
This series of lectures on the development of hands provides a cultural context. Sheila Waters finds it fascinating and notes that, though it is a scholarly work, the book is written in a pleasant style. Unlike many newer books, this one is so full of information that you may find yourself re-reading page to take it all in. Out-of-print. These copies may have some shelf wear/bent corners.
