Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1998

12.7 x 22.6cm, 2pp artist postcard with an abstract painting by Gary Hincks of a Coble - a flat-bottomed fishing boat. The name Coble sounds very much like cobble and both share a characteristic of being roughly made and placed next to each other to form a shape (this is how a Coble hull is made - lengths of wood overlapping - which is shown in the painting with the red and blue stripes".

11 x 6.4cm, 16pp plus card covers. Artist's book with a drawing by Gary Hincks on the front and internally the text:

lines of foam

strands of foam

ropes of foam

lacings of foam

which gives poetic metaphors for the way sea water can be caused to foam up when agitated. VG+.

Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1995
12 x 8.8cm, 4pp. Artist's card with two drawings front and back by Gary Hincks after texts by Bridgey Penney (A Catch of Poems about the Shipping Forecast) and Homer's Odyssey (Book XI) - the first drawing shows two boats, one of which is named Morning Star (the name of son Eck Finlay's small press) against a sunrise and the second an oar sunk into the ground as a form of monument. The first has the text BILLOWS PILLOWS under it and the second BILLOW WINNOW. The "pillows" of the first are nets and folded sails being caught by the wind, and the second similar pair of words meaning the wind through grass. VG+.

THE POOR FISHERMAN. 1991.

Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1991

43 x 41cm, four colour offset lithograph with a reproduction of the painting "The Poor Fisherman" by Puvis De Chavannes - however the mast of the boat has had a revolutionary cockade been added to it. - hence adding a political edge to the image more than the original solely religious intent.
This was a limited edition print issued at the same time as the exhibition at the Talbot Rice Gallery that examined the work in some detail and responses to the work.
There was also an exhibition poster for the show based on the same image and the cover of the exhibition catalogue and invitation to the vernissage.
Fine condition. Limitation unknown but usually 300 - 350 for Finlay prints.
