Wood-engravings; Being a selection of Eric Gill's engravings on wood.

1924Best.-Nr. 24032450Ditchling Sussex: S. Dominic's Press 1924. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very good . Gill Eric. One of 150 copies folio size 40 pp. Eric Gill 1882-1940 English sculptor typographer illustrator and printmaker is perhaps best known for his wood engravings; his work is characterised by sensual line work and elegant characters with a deep spirituality. This volume appears to be one of the first attempts to compile Gill's work in a single volume; however per Evan Gill's bibliography it "was prepared and published entirely without Gill's knowledge and consent." p. 162. As always seeing Gill's work with the depth and texture of an engraving is so very different from seeing an offset- or digitally-printed version; this work contains a wonderful selection of his early work with his talent already in its full glory. The work contains a total of thirty-eight of Gill's engravings including those done jointly with David Jones. Note that the list is given on the Contents page but does not call out that there are two engravings on the title page and four on p. 28. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full natural linen cloth over boards title page in red and black with two of the thirty-eight engravings a hand-made notation in the second sentence of the title which apparently was made to all copies as other online listings have the same correction noted limitation statement following the title page issued in an edition of 150 copies this no. 83 each engraving on the rectos only vintage bookseller ticket on the rear pastedown Phillip C.

He therefore "preferred the handpress to the machine handmade to machine-made paper and handset founder's type to the products of typesetting machines." Pepler met Edward Johnston and Eric Gill while living in Hammersmith; Pepler and his family would eventually move to Ditchling to join Gill who was one of the most important artists to provide illustrations for the St. Dominic's Press. Other artists who provided illustrations included David Jones Desmond Chute Philip Hagreen and Thomas Derrick among others.
