1896réf. 56098Paris: n.p. 1896. First edition. Near fine. Rare complete run of this satirical newspaper on witches war in hell weird tales and more - printed on striking black paper with type in bright color. Though begun as a prank poisson d'avril on 1 April 1877 L'AUTRE MONDE is a wonderfully conceived and executed satire down to its smallest details. Written by the "the dead and buried" it purports to be from the year 3753 based on which calendar is left unsaid; it is printed "along the banks of the Styx"; while subscriptions may be had in the Catacombs. Its front page details a story of murder at the opera by a "grocer." and a soldier's memoir of his own death during the Franco-Prussian War; its final page has a stock exchange report of "dead" and "dying" stocks. The real newspaper LE TEMPS reported that the first issue was "snapped up entirely within five minutes" 3 April 1877. A second issue soon followed printed in red and dedicated to the topic of witches this time with advertisements: sulfuric acid toothpaste a broom that costs "11000 francs and three children's souls" etc. Even the choice of inks adds to the parody: the fourth issue about cuckolded husbands is printed in yellow ink a color "associated with adultery" Brossé BnF. This issue contains a report on a congress of cuckolded husbands the "Coucoupolis." The fifth issue in orange pokes fun at Spiritualism. A short article in it on the American magician duo the Davenport Brothers feels a bit eerie: one the brothers would die on 1 July less than a month after this issue was released. The first five issues appeared in quick succession through April to June of 1877; the elusive sixth issue didn't appear until 1896 but again on April 1. The creators of the newspaper are not definitively known but the 1885 DICTIONNAIRE UNIVERSEL ILLUSTRÉ attributes the first five to the editor and novelist Camille Debans 1832-1919 who had earlier founded a different satirical journal LE BONHOMME late 19th-century France loved them. Debans would publish speculative fiction in the 1880s of HISTOIRES DE TOUS LES DIABLES 1882 and another about an international war of the future LES MALHEURS DE JOHN BULL 1884. The latter suggests similar themes to the third issue here in green which chronicles a massive war between famous figures across time and geography with Machiavelli and Richelieu on one side and Attila the Hun and Napoleon on the other. Any issues of this newspaper are rare and exceptionally so as a complete set; we find only the BnF and Oxford with all six while the Beinecke and Mediatheque de Montpellier have holdings for the first five. A fantastic ephemeral production bibliography in dark mode. Six folio issues 21'' x 14.25'' each. Original black paper sheets folded once to create four pages folded again as likely issued for distribution. Printed in grey red green vivid yellow orange and light greenish yellow respectively. Expected wear at folds with some light edgewear. Intact and bright or dark as it may be. n.p. unknown books
1934réf. 3757511934. Pencil portrait signed "Eric G" lower right identified and dated lower left. 14 x 10 inches matted. Mounted and framed. Some overall toning. Short closed tear underneath matting which is taped to verso of work. Pencil portrait signed "Eric G" lower right identified and dated lower left. 14 x 10 inches matted. David Pepler 1905-1934 was Eric Gill's son-in-law who married his daughter Betty in 1927 also the son of his partner in the Guild of St. Joseph and St. Dominic Hilary Pepler 1878-1951. Pepler died only a couple of weeks after Gill's return from his transformative trip to Jerusalem and he rode with the body from the hospital in London back to Pigotts. After the mass and requiem Gill spent the morning drawing David's portrait a process he described in his memoirs: "When the husband of our eldest daughter died she asked me to draw his portrait as he lay in our chapel. For several hours I stood close beside his body looking closely into his face and trying to transcribe his features accurately. That was a revealing experience - before my eyes death took him further from the living world. Even as I watched the bony structure of his face became more sharp and hard; the flesh contracted on his brows and nose and chin. The nobility and patience of his character became more emphatically visible. It was as it were a race between corruption and revelation. On the one hand his spiritual form became more visible as its fleshly shape became more attenuate - on the other the disintegration which death of the body precisely is became more and more woefully and nauseatingly imminent. I was not horrified I was not even astonished; but it was difficult thinking of the lips she had kissed to keep back my tears." Gill Autobiography pp. 237. unknown books

Prudence Pelham a young and beautiful sculptor/apprentice of Gill's to whom he was deeply attracted. Gill found her "stimulating and provocative as well as beautiful. She was then eighteen. He encouraged her interest in art. He indoctrinated her into the mysteries of the male anatomy; Eric Gill's was the first penis she had ever seen. She was a frequent visitor at the Pigotts of this period sometimes staying for a week or two working in the workshop alongside Gill's other pupils. She had that English aristocrat's informality. She responded easily to the unknown situation. This was one of the things Gill appreciated in her. He dedicated CLOTHES to her." MacCarthy Eric Gill pp. 250-251. The inscription on the flyleaf written in ink in Gill's beautiful lettering which shows the influence of Edward Johnston Gill's teacher: "P.P. from e.g. June 1931." Of more than passing interest is the Gill wood engraving "Mellors" which Prudence Pelham or Gill himself must have affixed to the rear endpaper. A fine view of a nude male in profile it was intended as an illustration to Lady Chatterly's Lover but according to Cleverdon's note was "never used in any edition." It was incorporated however as the frontispiece to Clothing Without Cloth published by the Golden Cockerel Press in June 1931 - the same date as this inscription to Pelham. According to Evan Gill the date of publication of Clothes was not until July 6 1931 - a month later. Gill Bibliography 22; Physick 727 engraving.

Gill writes to his friend J.G. Wilson of the Bumpus Bookshop in London regarding his engraving "Flying Buttresses" mentioning his work on Troilus & Criseyde for the Golden Cockerel Press and mentioning another of his publishers. An excellent technical letter with 5 small drawings in the text. In part: "I am working like anything on the engravings for the Golden Cockerel Troilus & Criseyde. I expect to finish the engravings by about Easter . I shall come and see you as soon as possible to talk over things and explain how it happened that D. Cleverdon is publishing my next . Meanwhile this is just to make a brief apology for myself in the matter of the Buttresses! Is matter of fact they aren't so blooming wrong in the engraving as your correspondent thinks. It's the perspective which makes the difficulty." The engraving in question is "Flying Buttresses" based on a drawing of St. Pierre Chartes used to illustrated Gill's 1926 essay "Id Quod Visum Placet." Gill uses the rest of the letter to explain with the aid of five small sketches why the perspective is in fact correct. Douglas Cleverdon the Bristol bookseller and publisher brought out Gill's Art and Love in 1927 as well as a collection of his engravings in 1929. unknown books

In the letter of June 9 Gill agrees to present a copy of his book Clothes 1931 at the upcoming revel of the MDRP and says he's asked his publisher Cape to send a copy for him to autograph. In the letter of June 17 he encloses the book and thanks Jordan for tickets to the event saying he will "certainly come . unless run over or in jug." In the letter of July 2 he writes "I did enjoy the evening at Suffolk St. very much. But I was sorry so many of the men were merely in 'fancy' dress." He also accepts Jordan's invitation to have his name added to the organization's permanent committee. Accompanying the group is a Typed Letter Signed of Gill dated May 13 1936 in which Gill requests four issues of the MDRP publication. The subtitle of Gill's "Clothes" is "An essay upon the nature and significance of the natural and artificial integuments worn by men and women." In it Gill presents many ideas on dress reform for both men and women among which was his advocacy the skirt or tunic by both men and women a style that Gill himself adopted. The Men's Dress Reform Party was active from 1929-1940 and grew out of discussions within the Clothing Subcommittee of the New Health Society which had been co-founded by Dr. Jordan in 1925.
