The Journal of the Alcuin Society


Cover image Amphora 135, Gary Sim

Amphora has been the journal of the Alcuin Society for over 50 years. For a number of years Amphora had a series of cover articles on featured artists, most of them printmakers or otherwise related to the book arts. Each issue includes a number of artworks and a biography.

AMPHORA 40th ANNIVERSARY
Commissioned article by Gary Sim, 2005

AP = Alcuin Print tipped into Amphora, one of the printers mark series commissioned by Dr. Yosef Wosk. Four prints were completed from an intended series of twelve or more. Each of the four was printed in an edition of 500 by Barbarian Press, of which around 350 each were tipped into issues of Amphora as noted below. The remaining prints were retained by the Alcuin Society, with the idea that when the entire series was completed, they would be bound into a limited edition book. Each image was to represent the printer's mark for a real or imagined letterpress printer, Gary Sim designed and cut a logo for the imaginary "Entropy Press."
