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.
