"The Kowloon City Execution Ground was the beach next to the Boundary Fence immediately south of the Walled City (see also Photo B). In this photograph it is being used for the execution of a gang of some nine or ten pirates. In the right background can be seen the Boundary Fence as it goes down to the sea (with some Hong Kong spectators clinging to it to get a good view). To the right, behind the right-hand-most pirate can be seen a few spectators being kept back from the execution site by soldiers (the civilians close to the execution site are Kowloon City Elders invited by the Magistrate)"--Ove Arup & Partners Hong Kong Ltd, op. cit. section, p. 12.40

A man kneels down on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, about to be executed in public. The executioner stands next to him and holds a broad knife mid-air, ready to strike.

Published to accompany the exhibition held at Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery, Oct. 1, 2005-Jan. 15 2006; Museum Villa Stuck, Munich, Mar. 9-June 18, 2006; Ben Uri Gallery, the London Jewish Museum of Art, Sept. 11-Nov. 26, 2006. || Includes bibliographical references (pages 186-188) and index. || This publication marks the centenary of Simeon Solomon (1840-1905), a leading painter of the Pre-Raphaelite group that formed around Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the mid-nineteenth century. A precocious young talent, Solomon enjoyed early critical success with his paintings of biblical and classical subjects, but his public career was effectively destroyed when his homosexuality became public knowledge in 1873. Solomon is recognized today, however, as an important and influential figure in the Pre-Raphaelite circle. This book explores his work in the contexts of Pre-Raphaelitism, Judaism, and modern-day studies of masculinity.

"Daumier’s 50-print series Stories from Antiquity appeared in Charivari over about a year. The Greek poet Sappho is said to have killed herself over a love affair, though specific details of her death are scant. Here Daumier added a helpful Cupid to nudge the unhinged but indecisive figure over the edge, while Charivari writers supplied verses significantly less artful than Sappho’s: Young ladies, you see where love leads us Under our feet so dainty and small The wretched chasm of an abyss Into which we eventually fall." - The Art Insitute of Chicago

Limited edition of 400 copies.
Issued in slip case.
"Poetry of Sappho is the ninety-third publication of the Arion Press. The edition is limited to 400 numbered copies for sale and 26 lettered copies for complimentary distribution. The types are Garamont, designed by Frederic Goudy, set by hand for the translations and in Monotype composition-casting for the introduction, and digital Adobe Garamond Greek in computer-generated composition made into polymer plates for the Greek texts. The images by Julie Mehretu were printed from polymer plates and made from negatives with the emulsion scratched by the artist with an etching needle for the linear art and from scans of overlay images drawn by the artist. The wood engravings by Anita Cowles Rearden date from the 1870s and were made for a book on Sappho and Alcæus written by her husband, Judge Timothy Rearden, but never published. Original woodblocks and electrotypes made from them, on loan from the library of the Swedenborgian Church in San Francisco, were used for the printing. The presswork is by letterpress, in Italian mouldmade Revere paper. The book was designed and produced by Andrew Hoyem with the assistance of Blake Riley, Brian Ferrett, David Johnston, Christopher Godek, Mark Sarigianis, Lewis Mitchell, Sarah Songer, Rochelle Youk, Leif Erlandsson, Rachel Hooper, Lyssa Black, and Diana Ketcham. All copies are signed by the artist." --Colophon

The greatest literary landmark of classical antiquity masterfully rendered by the most celebrated translator of our time. When Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017--revealing the ancient poem in a contemporary idiom that "combines intellectual authority with addictive readability" (Edith Hall, The Sunday Telegraph)--critics lauded it as "a revelation" (Susan Chira, The New York Times) and "a cultural landmark" (Charlotte Higgins, The Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an equally revelatory translation of the first great Homeric epic: The Iliad. In Wilson's hands, this exciting and often horrifying work now gallops at a pace befitting its battle scenes, roaring with the clamor of arms, the bellowing boasts of victors and the anguished cries of dying men. Wilson's unadorned but resonant language plumbs the poem's profound pathos and reveals its characters as palpably real, even "complicated", human beings. Capping a decade of intense engagement with Homer's poetry, Wilson's Iliad now gives us a complete Homer for our generation.
