CHAUCER, Geoffrey (1340?-1400). [The Woorkes of Geffrey Chaucer, Newly Printed, with divers addicions...] London: Jhon Kyngston for Jhon Wight, 1561.Folio (314 x 213 mm).   Black letter, text double column. Woodcut illustration for The Knight's Tale (leaf B1, first used in the 1550 edition), woodcut initials.   (Lacking [fleuron]1-4, A1 and A6, A2-5 and 3U gatherings soiled and frayed with repairs, tiny wormholes to several leaves affecting letters, a few leaves with marginal repairs occasionally affecting letters, 2G1 with small hole just affecting letters.) Modern half brown calf stamp-signed by J. P. Gray & Son (some light wear or staining). Provenance: Anthony Standen (ca 1548 - ?), English intelligencer (early signatures on final leaf); Willi Drewe (ex-dono inscription). THE EDITION OF CHAUCER LIKELY USED BY SHAKESPEARE AS A SOURCE FOR TROILUS AND CRESSIDAFifth edition of the Collected Works, one of two recorded issues with this date: as here, with the preliminaries collating A6, and another with preliminary woodcuts and with preliminaries collating A4. Traditionally, it has been believed that the illustrated issue was printed first, with the cuts omitted in the second issue.   More recent scholarship suggests that the printer came into possession of the woodcuts belatedly, and that the unillustrated issue was first (see David R. Carlson, "The Woodcut Illustrations in Early Printed Editions of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales", in Chaucer Illustrated: Five Hundred Years of the Canterbury Tales in Pictures, British Library, 2003). The text, edited by John Stowe, is based on William Thynne's translation, which was the first serious attempt at a critical edition; the majority of the works added to here to the Chaucer canon for the first time are spurious.

1964, signed and dated in pencil, numbered 61/75 (there were also 15 artist's proofs), published by Editions Alecto, London, 1965, with their blindstamp, the full sheet, with deckle edges on all four sides, on Japon nacré paper, (S.A.C. 38; Tokyo 38), lithograph in colours.sheet size 51.5cm x 66.5cm (20.25in x 26.25in)Footnote: * When Hockney moved to Los Angeles in 1964, he was fascinated by the use of water for irrigation and recreation in the semi-arid environment. He delighted in experimenting with various methods of depicting drops and sprays of water. This lithograph was made at the instigation of the Atelier Matthieu in Zurich and relates to a 1965 painting, Different Kinds of Water Pouring into a Swimming Pool, Santa Monica (private collection). The depiction of water in these pictures is highly stylised. Hockney later said that water 'offered an opportunity for abstraction - almost as much a recurring desire as painting a portrait' (Stangos, p.100). Hockney's 1964 lithographs marked a return to the technique after a gap of ten years.Artists’ Resale Right (“droit de suite”) may apply to this lot.Condition report: The print is in good, original condition with strong colours. There are some small spots of foxing across the paper and some light creases running in from and around the edges of the sheet. There is a light scuff to the paper in the lower right-hand corner near the blindstamp. Approximately halfway down on each edge of the paper there is what appears to be a pinhole which has been covered with a spot of white paint as can be seen in the images. The paper is mounted in each corner of the sheet. The print is framed and glazed.
