This is as fine a copy as one could hope to find of one of the best examples in modern fine press work of the successful collaboration of text decoration and typography. With the "Four Gospels" of 1931 and "Troilus and Criseyde" of 1927 it is one of the three greatest Golden Cockerel Press books and according to Cave & Mason its "naughty amusing" engravings make it one of the five "foremost English illustrated books of the 20th century." It was produced at the zenith of the decade-long collaboration between Golden Cockerel Press director and book designer Robert Gibbings 1889-1958 and artist Eric Gill 1882-1940 which in the words of Gill biographer Fiona McCarthy "resulted in some of the classic examples of specialist book production of that period" works that "have a forcefulness and clarity which still excites one." While some squeamish critics deemed Gill's racy engravings inappropriate the bawdy Chaucer would no doubt have been delighted with them and found them most apt. Colin Franklin astutely observed that the "Gill/Gibbings version of 'Canterbury Tales' tackled the problems of illustrating Chaucer IN ALL HIS MOODS. emphasis in original." Cave & Mason report that its publication was "regarded as a literary event" and was widely reported and well received by the press. The book was very profitable grossing some £14000 for the Press. It is to be expected that a major production from a major press like the Golden Cockerel "Tales" would in many cases be very well treated by owners down through the years but copies now are almost never found in the immaculate condition seen here.

Ref.: Cave/Manson 63; Chanticleer 63; Gill 281 Condition: Binding somewhat bumped and bruised at corners spine occasionally stained. Fore-edges slightly dusty. Content clean and free of marks. Notes: Eric Gill's woodcuts for The Canterbury Tales demonstrate his keen understanding of the relationship between illustration and typography. Drawing on his experience as a type designer and his knowledge of medieval illuminated manuscript aesthetics Gill combines images ornaments and text to create a cohesive visual design. Elaborately executed initials and accompanying scenes introduce the individual tales. The borders composed of intertwining leaves and branches feature figures of men women kings priests and nuns. These figures often allude to the narrative and their gestures and postures range from solemn seriousness to playful irreverence and even erotic allusions. Gill's idiosyncratic depiction of the human body -- often elongated or deliberately distorted -- enables the figures to blend into the surrounding foliage. The woodcuts derive much of their character from the interplay of medieval ornamentation and modernist stylization. Gill's interpretation of Chaucer's bawdy humor is particularly evident in his unabashedly sensual depictions. These caused a stir in their time yet they remain closely linked to their literary source. The woodcuts derive their expressiveness from the harmonious combination of technical precision and artistic expression. Therefore it is fair to say that Gill's woodcuts are an outstanding contribution to Twentieth-century book illustration that has lost none of its impact to this day. Golden Cockerel Press hardcover
1928rif. 176203Waltham St Lawrence: Golden Cockerel Press 1928-31. Beautiful Books Limited edition number 135 of 485 copies on handmade paper; a further 15 copies were issued on vellum. The Canterbury Tales was one of the "most important Golden Cockerel editions for which Eric Gill provided the engravings" and showcases his "originality and verve" ODNB. This work was seen as one of the finest books to be produced by the press exhibiting the ideals of the private press movement as if the "author artist and printer have shared one concept and expressed it" Franklin. An announcement of the edition within The Times Literary Supplement on 2 February 1928 noted a publication price of 25 Guineas. It also stated that the vellum copies at 120 Guineas had already been fully subscribed. The publication of the work was a major literary event and was widely covered in the press throughout the four-year publication period. A review within The Times Literary Supplement described the set as "a fine one" and noted that "each page is ornamented at the side with a conventional tree at the top or bottom of which there are usually figures. These figures seems alternately to express an almost frivolous gaiety and a harsh ascetism. Gill portrays these attributes and characteristics of the Middle Ages as if they came down to us from a great distance as pale now romantic shadows of what was once violent and robust. With this mood is at times combined a strain of Post-Impressionism a modern flavour". The review concluded comparing the Golden Cockerel edition to the Kelmscott Chaucer noting that Pre-Raphaelitism was "adaptable to new circumstances". The partners of the Golden Cockerel Press Christopher Sandford Owen Rutter and Anthony Sandford described the set in their bibliography of the press as simply "beautiful books". 4 vols tall octavo. Initials printed in red blue and black. With full-page illustration 29 half-page illustrations decorated borders tailpieces and line fillers all by Gill. Bound for the publishers by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in brown quarter niger spines lettered in gilt patterned paper boards top edge gilt others untrimmed.
