33-F. Tideline Press (Leonard Seastone)

Leonard Seastone, an artist and faculty member at SUNY, Purchase, where he teaches letterpress and bookbinding, founded the Tideline Press in 1972, in Sayville, New York, and continues to publish limited edition artist books (2013). In 1980, Seastone published James H. Fraser’s study of John Anderson, John Anderson and the Pickering Press, which included contributions by DePol, and in 1987, The Hudson River: From the Source to the Sea in Photographs, based on a lecture delivered by Thomas Cole before the Catskill Lyceum in 1841 on American Scenery. DePol modeled his wood engravings on portions of photographs, in a way comparable to his Under Open Sky illustration modeled after Asher Durand’s Kindred Spirits.
