The Red Onion Press in collaboration wit h the Kennesaw State University’s School of Art and Design has completed the printing of a limited edition of Beowulf, the first of s ix Classics of English Literature from a series of original woodblocks by t he late artist, Bronislaw Bak. These works of art, lost for over 50 years were recovered several years ago in remarkable condition. The 180 illustr ations for six filmstrips produced for Encyclopedia Britannica's Filmstrip Division had been the product of a two year-long commission in 1964 by the late artist, Bronislaw Bak.
They include the classic tales of” Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," "Morte d'Arthur," "Beowulf," "The Nun's Pries t Tale," "The Second Shepherd's Play" and "Everyman." These 180 original re lief prints, hand colored by the artist have never been printed except as s lide filmstrips for schools. The filmstrips as well as the projectors (one of which will be on display in the exhibit) have long since been replaced b y modern digital teaching aids.
This is a first edition using the pri nting methods that serve as learning experience in the art of book publicat ion while preserving this original archival work along with a full translat ion of the Beowulf Saga. As part of the exhibit, a full size antique book p rinting press will be featured in exhibit and and will be used to demonstra te the method of hand printing. The books will be available for purchase by libraries and schools and collectors to help offset the cost of this proje ct.
