United Kingdom: The Bookplate Society in association with Keriwen Press, 1988. Limited Edition. Original Wraps. Near Fine in Wraps. Limited Edition. Original Wraps. Austin Osman Spare - One of the most recognized occult artists who elicited emotion under the occult umbrella. In a purposeful way, he left a legacy of existentialism, perhaps the macabre, but more so rather appropriated his psychic and magical abilities to conjure thought-forms to visible and tangible appearances.

This attests to an unusual example of how invocation manifests into the physical and transferred to print, in this case bookplates. These bookplates were designed between 1904-1945, for such folks as journalist Dennis Bardens and patron Pickford Waller. What is unusual here, but not out of the ordinary for a magician like… Leer más
