The
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.
