‎Somerset de Chair (Translator, Editor, Author of Introduction); Clifford Webb (Wood Engravings)‎

‎The First Crusade; The Deeds of the Franks and Other Jerusalemites.‎

‎Waltham Saint Lawrence: The Golden Cockerel Press 1945. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Webb Clifford. One of 500 copies folio size pp. The Golden Cockerel Press came together in autumn of 1920 at a time when post-World War I society was ushering in a renaissance of creative minds including another renaissance of the printing press as the artist's tool similar to that of William Morris and the arts and crafts printers of the previous century. The press worked with many notable artists including Eric Gill Blair Hughes-Stanton Robert Gibbings and the artist for this work Clifford Webb. <br /> <br /> Clifford Cyril Webb 1895-1972 studied art and is best known today for his wood engravings. He was a founder-member of the Society of Wood Engravers and "was a prominent figure in the group of engravers whobrought about the revival of wood engraving in the 1920s and benefited from the encouragement of Robert Gibbings and the Golden Cockerel Press" n.b. quote from Webb's entry in Horne "The Dictionary of 20th Century British Book Illustrators" p. 437. <br /> <br /> Per the bibliographical entry for this work "it is surprising that no complete translation of this unique eye-witness account of the First Crusade had ever been published in England before. What the pilgrims did in their fervour of blind fanaticism 'to the glory of God' makes astonishing reading!" <br /> <br /> ___DESCRIPTION: Bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in half vellum with orange buckram boards gilt vignette on the front board of crusaders on horseback by Clifford Webb top edge gilt frontis one of five full-page wood-engravings bound in throughout small title page wood-engraving also of crusaders on horseback wood-engraving of a cockerel holding a crusader pennant in its beak on p. 9; Poliphilus type on hand-made paper folio size 12 3/8" by 7 3/8" pagination: 1-4 5-92 1 colophon. <br /> <br /> ___CONDITION: A solid very good copy with clean boards the vellum smooth and without wear a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior is clean and bright and entirely free of prior owner markings; a small mark on the vellum on the back board light overall edgewear the corners bumped but not rubbed. <br /> <br /> ___CITATION: Cockalorum 168. <br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. <br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

‎The Wedding Songs of Edmund Spenser being the Prothalamion & the Epithalamion; Printed from the best editions with Wood-cuts by Ethelbert White.‎

‎Waltham Saint Lawrence Berkshire: Golden Cockerel Press 1923. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/very good. White Ethelbert. No. 200 of 320 copies on paper duodecimo size 49 pp. Edmund Spenser 1552/3 to 1599 is probably best known for his epic poem "The Faerie Queene" an ode to Elizabeth I. Even today he is considered one of the greatest poets of the English language. <br/><br/>This work "The Wedding Songs" is a publication uniting two works which were published a year apart both dealing with love and romance.<br/><br/>According to "Chanticleer" this is the first work of the Press to be illustrated with wood-engravings; however they go on to state that "there is no great feeling of harmony between the engravings and the type" p. 16. We find the three wood-engravings charming; Ethelbert White 1892-1972 was a founding member of the English Wood Engraving Society beginning his career with water colour but being introduced to wood-engraving in 1920. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Quarter linen white paper spine label with black lettering blue paper sides over boards fore- and bottom edges uncut the frontispiece one of three wood engravings and the only one in three colours rust green and yellow the other two only in rust; Caslon type on hand-made unbleached Arnold paper duodecimo size 7 3/8" by 4 1/2" pagination: 1-8 9-46 47 final wood-engraving 48 colophon 49 publisher's device; no. 200 of the 320 copies on paper per the colophon; per the bibliography there were 350 copies on paper there were an additional 25 copies on Japanese vellum.
