‎THE CANTERBURY TALES‎

‎Waltham St. Lawrence: Golden Cockerel Press 1929-31. No. 344 OF 485 COPIES on paper and 15 on vellum. 318 x 197 mm. 12 1/2 x 7 3/4". Four volumes. <br/> Original Niger morocco-backed patterned paper boards by Sangorski & Sutcliffe raised bands gilt titling top edges gilt others untrimmed. The four volumes housed in two burnt orange morocco-backed cloth clamshell boxes with gilt lettering on the backs. Red and blue initials ONE FULL-PAGE AND EIGHT HALF-PAGE WOOD ENGRAVINGS AND 267 VERY PLEASING WOOD-ENGRAVED BORDERS frequently inhabited AND TAILPIECES BY ERIC GILL each border design repeated two to five times so that nearly every page is thus adorned. Chanticleer 63; Gill 281. Spines softly sunned--though uncharacteristically very minor and uniform in the fading; otherwise faultless. AN EXEMPLARY COPY PRISTINE INTERNALLY.<br/> <br/> This is as fine a copy as one could hope to find of one of the best examples in modern fine press work of the successful collaboration of text decoration and typography. With the "Four Gospels" of 1931 and "Troilus and Criseyde" of 1927 it is one of the three greatest Golden Cockerel Press books and according to Cave & Mason its "naughty amusing" engravings make it one of the five "foremost English illustrated books of the 20th century." It was produced at the zenith of the decade-long collaboration between Golden Cockerel Press director and book designer Robert Gibbings 1889-1958 and artist Eric Gill 1882-1940 which in the words of Gill biographer Fiona McCarthy "resulted in some of the classic examples of specialist book production of that period" works that "have a forcefulness and clarity which still excites one." While some squeamish critics deemed Gill's racy engravings inappropriate the bawdy Chaucer would no doubt have been delighted with them and found them most apt. Colin Franklin astutely observed that the "Gill/Gibbings version of 'Canterbury Tales' tackled the problems of illustrating Chaucer IN ALL HIS MOODS. emphasis in original." Cave & Mason report that its publication was "regarded as a literary event" and was widely reported and well received by the press. The book was very profitable grossing some £14000 for the Press. It is to be expected that a major production from a major press like the Golden Cockerel "Tales" would in many cases be very well treated by owners down through the years but copies now are almost never found in the immaculate condition seen here.

‎The Good Shepherd.‎

‎Coventry: 1937. Original drawing by Gill entitled "The Good Shepherd" for one of a pair of reliefs commissioned for the original hospital building in Coventry in 1937. Inscribed by Gill "1 Coventry" in the upper left corner dated "15.11.37" in the lower right. The designs for the second relief entitled "The Good Samaritan" were drawn on an identical advertisement leaf and were completed on 17 November. Gill began carving the reliefs on 31 October 1938 finishing them on 13 November. Coventry Hospital was however struck during the Blitz and The Good Shepherd relief was destroyed during an air-raid on the hospital in 1941. Although damaged The Good Samaritan relief largely survived the bombing and now sits on the out-patient's department as the hospital's war memorial. The design is drawn on the verso of an advertisement leaf for "Essays in orthodoxy". This series of six essays do not appear to have been published in the form advertised here although it is possible they were collected in his posthumously published collection Last Essays 1942.162323 Original pencil transfer drawing image size 210 x 132 mm mount size 507 x 405 mm with ochre chalk on recto. Tipped onto mount clear plastic pocket to rear with description in pencil on cardboard. A little fingermarking to mount. In fine condition. Presented in a double-sided black stained ash frame with conservation acrylic glazing. unknown‎

‎The Human Person and Society.‎

‎London: Peace Pledge Union 1940. Corrected proof copy extensively annotated by the author. Gill's corrections in brown ink are on almost every page emending typographical errors. It is accompanied by two leaves of suggestions of manuscript corrections for the printed text listed in black ink consisting of typographical and structural alterations with ticks by Gill in brown ink matching that in the proof copy. A margin note by Gill similarly in brown ink identifies these corrections as coming from a W.W. It is possible that this is Wilfred Wellock 1879-1972 MP and active member of the Peace Pledge Union. Published in 1940 this pamphlet was the first in a series written under the general title of The Bond of Peace. Wellock wrote the third volume Money Has Destroyed Your Peace 1940. The Human Person and Society is one of Gill's final publications; published in March 1940; Gill died in November of the same year. Together 4 items: pamphlet entitled "The Human Person and Society" duodecimo pp. 21. Original cream wrappers printed in black; 2 leaves of manuscript corrections; publisher's card indicating proof copy. Housed together in a custom red cloth chemise. Light creasing very occasional spotting. In excellent condition. Gill 43. hardcover‎
