The Extasie

John Gallas

Carcanet Press Ltd.

Clifford Harper illustrates John Gallas’s ballad poem about the life and times of the Italian anarchist Santo Caserio, a baker who assassinated the French President, a little man who tried to change things and got his head chopped off. The drawings are a homage to the work of Frans Masereel, and accompany perfectly the ballad verse. Agraphia is Harper’s own publishing imprint, and as you’d expect, the books are exquisitely designed, illustrated and printed. Includes a biographical sketch, by Harper, of Caserio.
