info@jardinepress.co.ukThe Jardine Press was started by James Dodds in his final year at the Royal College of Art in 1984. Using a "Jardine" treadle platten press (c.1890s) he printed George Crabbe's "Peter Grimes" with his own accompanying linocuts.
James has gone on to publish over thirty titles, many of them collaborations with other artists such as Martin Newell, the UK's most published living poet. James' father Andrew Dodds, who drew for the Eastern Daily Press for nearly fifty years and was known as the Radio Times artist who first portrayed "The Archers" published four of his own books with Jardine Press and helped run the company until his death in 2004.
The subject matter of Jardine Press books ranges from shipwrighting to farming, politics to printing. The main thread running through all the books is a strong sense of place, focusing on East Anglia with many myths and legends nestling in its landscape and the wonderful nautical history along its coast.
Jardine Press became a Limited company in 2002 and is now run by James and his wife Catherine.
Also available from Jardine Press Ltd are James Dodds' linocut prints.
