Bill Christie, the Frances Hampton Currey Professor of Finance and professor of law, donated printing plates from The Wall Street Journal’s Sept. 12, 2001, edition to Special Collections.

It is amazing that The Wall Street Journal was published the day after 9/11 at all. Its newsroom and corporate headquarters were directly across the street from the devastated World Trade Center, and the newspaper’s staff was evacuated after the first plane crashed into the north tower on Sept. 11, 2001. They were left to improvise reporting on one of this country’s most tragic moments.

The incredible efforts of those reporters and editors are now part of Vanderbilt Special Collections with William Christie’s donation of printing plates from the Sept. 12, 2001, edition. They were on display at the Central Library during the 10th anniversary of the tragedy.

“These remarkable printing plates give us a firsthand look at how the country came to grips with the terrible tragedy of 9/11. Their value for the library’s Special Collections is significant as historical icons and as records of the related story of news reporting that is a strength of the collections,” said Connie Vinita Dowell, dean of libraries.

A sales representative from The Wall Street Journal gave the plates to Christie, who at the time was dean of the Owen Graduate School of Management. Christie, now the Frances Hampton Currey Professor of Finance and professor of law, had remarked how impressed he was that the Journal’s staff was able to publish the Sept. 12 edition despite great challenges.

“I was thrilled and amazed to see the actual plates that were used to roll the paper off the press. It was phenomenal and I was incredibly honored to receive them,” he said. “As the anniversary of 9/11 approached, I thought they probably could have a much higher value than sitting in my office, so I gave them to Vanderbilt Special Collections.”

Vanderbilt’s copy of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Friendship: An Essay was published by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in the early 1900s with rich illuminations on parchment and a binding embossed with red hearts and encrusted with rare stones. It is part of the Nettie Hale Rand Collection of Fine Binding and Printing, donated to Vanderbilt Library in 1941 by Mrs. Rand, an alumna of the university and wife of Frank C. Rand, president of the Vanderbilt University Board of Trust.

Claire Van Vliet’s The Gospel of Mary is a fragment of an early Christian gnostic gospel that focuses on Mary Magdalene as a beloved disciple of Christ. This 2006 work, with pulp painted covers and a pop-up centerpiece, has a woven binding and is laid in a clamshell box with a birch tray. Master printmaker Van Vliet, the founder of Janus Press, received a MacArthur Foundation genius grant in 1989 for her innovations in approaches to the book.

Elizabeth Moodey, assistant professor of history of art, is an expert in late medieval art and illustrated manuscripts. She pulled together these pieces for the library's Book as Art exhibit.

­­This 1926 edition of The Oxford Book of English Verse is a beautiful example of an embroidered binding. It is bound in blue silk and richly designed in a floral pattern with silver wire stems and lettered on the spine and front cover in white silk thread.

rawn from the Jean and Alexander Heard Libraries’ more than 3.5 million volumes, “The Book as Art” exhibit offers a dazzling display of nine centuries of bookmaking—from unidentified scribes’ illuminated manuscripts to today’s books by internationally recognized artists. These stunning volumes bear the marks of their makers in ways no mass-produced paperback can achieve.

In this 2007 work Saca la cabeza y respira, Catalina Jaramillo Quijano describes her loves and losses on a trip between Bogotá and Mexico City through her drawings. The title translates as Put your Head Away and Take a Breath.

Such exquisite volumes are valued perhaps more for their beautiful form than their literary function. “The Book as Art” offers a richness of visual form in a multitude of styles: ancient manuscripts on vellum illustrated with gold leaf and brilliant colors; bindings hand-tooled and encrusted with jewels; and covers inset with ivory miniatures, along with contemporary artists’ books that leap beyond the traditional book form.

“Who says you can’t judge a book by its cover? We did—and also by their printing, typography, images and more. We loved every moment doing so,” said Connie Vinita Dowell, dean of libraries. “I hope visitors get caught up in the magic of these pages. In this era of digital information and instant printing, this exhibit illuminates the soul as well as the mind.”

Some of the newest volumes may be the most surprising, with their unconventional use of such materials as wood, metal, plastic and fabric and their sculptural assemblages. Some of the world’s finest presses, like Barry Moser’s Pennyroyal Press and Claire Van Vliet’s Janus Press, are represented in the exhibit. These artists’ remarkable talent and their attention to text, image, paper, typography and binding characterize their truly beautiful books.

The exhibit is located in Special Collections, the Library Gallery, the Peabody and Divinity libraries and the Martha Rivers Ingram Center for the Performing ­­­­­Arts.­
