"25 Nudes" is a controversial set of erotic engravings created by British artist Eric Gill in the early 20th century. Known for his contributions to typography and sculpture Gill's explicit depiction of the human form sparked debate due to his unconventional lifestyle and personal beliefs. The series features intricate yet explicit representations of nude figures reflecting Gill's fascination with the human body and sensuality. Despite the artistic merit the controversy surrounding Gill's private life including allegations of misconduct has led to a complex legacy. The engravings remain a testament to the intersection of art sexuality and the artist's unconventional world view. Dent for Hague and Gill unknown

Inserted loose is a 4 page list of former publications of the Cranach Press plus two prospectuses with an original Gill engraving one on paper and one on japon for the English edition distributed by Douglas Cleverdon. Kessler seems to have got the very best out of Gill with a darker mood and deeper intensity in his engravings than was usual for the artist. Some of this is achieved by the style of printing but much must have been due to Kessler's tight control of the production and strong influence over Gill's work for it. The partnership produced a truly remarkable work of art. A bright copy with a list of former publications and prospectus for the English edition inserted loose Cranach Presse hardcover

1924rif. 22644London: Printed & Published by The Westminster Press 11 Henrietta Street Covent Garden W.C. 1924 but 1927. 750 by 945mm. 29.5 by 37.25 inches. Gill's humorous map of London and its Underground Stations Chromolithograph plan minor repairs to corners and old folds strengthened. Gill's humorous map of London and its underground stations. "During his lifetime MacDonald Gill's acclaim rested on artistic endeavours of amazing diversity; one area of particular celebrity involved the pictorial maps he designed for both governmental and private organisations. The first of these maps was commissioned in 1913 as a poster for use in the stations of the privately held Underground Electric Railways Company. The enthusiasm of the public for this poster was such that a smaller version titled the Wonderground Map of London Town was published for sale the following year. On the occasion of Gill's death in 1947 the Journal of the Royal Institute of British Architects referred to this Wonderground Map as "a cartographical masterpiece." Its groundbreaking design with emphasis on visual and verbal whimsy and bold primary colors awakened a generation of cartographers to the imaginative possibilities of pictorial mapmaking." Elizabeth Burden The text around the map reads: "The Heart of Britain's Empire Here is Spread Out for Your View. It Shows You Many Stations & Bus Routes Not a Few. You Have Not the Time to Admire it All Why not Take a Map Home to Pin on Your Wall." The current example dates from 1927 and bears to the upper left a greyhound above a sign 'On to Wembley'. This is a change from the lion featured in the previous edition of 1924 used to denote the location of The British Empire Exhibition of that year.

Brendan Gill was an American writer and journalist who wrote for The New Yorker for over 60 years. In that time he wrote over 1200 pieces for the magazine serving as its film critic and architecture critic among other roles. Susan Sheehan was Gill's longtime colleague at The New Yorker and an accomplished writer in her own right. The items included here the vast majority of which are inscribed to Susan over a span of more than 60 years evidence the close and enduring relationship between the two journalists. All of these items were included in Sheehan's personal archive of Gill items which is referenced by Gill in this collection as her "Gill file" or "the Gill Archive". Second Story Books is honored to offer this item from the personal collection of Neil and Susan Sheehan. Neil Sheehan 1936-2021 and Susan Sheehan 1937-2026 were a distinguished husband-and-wife team whose careers helped define American literary journalism in the second half of the twentieth century. Neil Sheehan a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for The New York Times is best known for his role in bringing the Pentagon Papers to public attention and for his landmark book "A Bright Shining Lie" while Susan Sheehan built a parallel reputation as a leading voice at The New Yorker crafting deeply reported narrative nonfiction on subjects ranging from mental health to social institutions earning her own Pulitzer Prize in 1983. Their longstanding ties to major publications particularly The New Yorker placed them at the center of an influential cultural and intellectual network and the books from their library carry added provenance through this close connection to the magazine's editorial and artistic community. 1413513.

1942rif. 9566London: George Philip & Son Ltd 1942. Pictorial world map on Mercators projection 90 x 114 cm printed in colours a couple of short closed tears pin holes in corners recently lined on paper and linen. First published in 1942 a second edition bears a new copyright date of 1944 in the lower margin; a third edition revised with a new title and a polar projection of the world inscribed the United Nations was issued in 1948. Commissioned by Time and Tide magazine a British literary and political review it is among the scarcest of Gills pictorial maps. Although Time and Tide attracted well known writers it never enjoyed a wide circulation and was heavily subsidised by its founder the former Suffragette and Lusitania survivor Viscountess Rhondda. The map celebrates the joint declaration released by Churchill and Roosevelt in August 1941 after the Atlantic Conference discussions between the two leaders held on board an American warship off the coast of Newfoundland. Both hoped to mobilise American support for intervention in the war and while this was not immediately forthcoming the Atlantic Charter was a gesture of solidarity at a moment when Nazi Germany had just turned against the USSR and looked all but unstoppable. In time it would form the basis for Allied war aims and the postwar foundation of the United Nations. At such a dark time Gills tone is resolutely optimistic looking ahead to a world of peace and plenty - the text of the charter itself illuminates the world with its rays. In the lower left hand corner is a modern interpretation of Isaiahs prophecy: they shall beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. A worker takes a sledgehammer to tanks and munitions in the foreground while in the distance is an idyllic scene of ploughing and reaping. The map is adorned with quotes by Cicero Emerson Pope and Aristotle on the virtues of peace and the body of the map is given over to the worlds resources agricultural and mineral which could once again be used for the prosperity of mankind distributed around the world by a network of shipping lanes. The creator of the map MacDonald Gill brother of Eric was a successful commercial artist in his own right and a noted calligrapher who designed the font used on all headstones by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. His arts and crafts style 1913 map of the London Wonderground commissioned by Frank Pick helped to popularise a whole new genre of pictorial map making on both sides of the Atlantic. Further work for London Transport included redesigning the map of the network in the early 1920s and other clients included the Post Office and the Empire Marketing Board.

Leslie MacDonald Gill 1884- 1947 was a note graphic designer cartographer artist and architect. Born in Brighton he was the younger brother of Eric Gill one of the leading figures of the Arts and Crafts movement. In 1914 his "Wonderground Map" commissioned by Frank Pick and hung at every station helped to save the London Underground by presenting an accurate map which also had a humorous side in cartoon style. Produced in poster form it was also made available for sale to members of the public and proved to be very popular. Elder brother Eric who at that time was engaged in a commission for Westminster Cathedral was included at the bottom of the map. He also designed of the standard upper case lettering used on headstones and war memorials by the Imperial War Graves Commission. But it is perhaps his illustrated maps for which he is most well known. These maps have featured in a series of exhibitions including Magnificent Maps exhibition in 2010 at the British Library an exhibition MacDonald Gill Out of the Shadows in 2011 at the University of Brighton and at the Mind the Map exhibition in 2012 at the London Transport Museum. unknown
