Waltham St. Lawrence: Golden Cockerel Press, 1929-31. No. 344 OF 485 COPIES on paper (and 15 on vellum). 318 x 197 mm. (12 1/2 x 7 3/4"). Four volumes..

The four volumes housed in two burnt orange morocco-backed cloth clamshell boxes with gilt lettering on the backs. Red and blue initials, ONE FULL-PAGE AND EIGHT HALF-PAGE WOOD ENGRAVINGS, AND 267 VERY PLEASING WOOD-ENGRAVED BORDERS (frequently inhabited) AND TAILPIECES BY ERIC GILL (each border design repeated two to five times, so that nearly every page is thus adorned).

Limited edition, number 439 of 485 copies on paper, from a total edition of 500; 4 vols, small folio (31.8 x 20 cm); wood engravings by Eric Gill, including one full-page, 29 half-page, tailpieces, initials and decorative borders, initials printed in red, blue and black; original Niger morocco-backed patterned boards by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, gilt lettering to spines, top edges gilt, others uncut, light rubbing to extremities, slight toning and soiling to boards, some spotting and fading to spines (as always); an attractive set. One of the major titles of the Golden Cockerel Press and an extraordinary collaboration between the press director and book designer Robert Gibbings (1889-1958) and artist Eric Gill (1882-1940). Printing the Canterbury Tales dominated work at the press for two and a half years, and relatively few other books were printed during that period. However, despite some critics deeming Gill's illustrations risqué and inappropriate,…

Description:
Piggots, High Wycombe, 1930. Gill, Eric. Pen and ink over graphite on single sheet measuring 5 15/16 by 4 7/8 inches. Signed and dated "7.8.30." Gill depicts the front view of the Wife of Bath astride a horse in this design, which appeared on the upper cover of the third volume of the fifteen-copy vellum edition of The Canterbury Tales, published by the Golden Cockerel Press. This information appears among several manuscript notations around the drawing, most of which instruct the maker of the binding die which details should be solid. Accompanying the drawing is an autograph letter, signed, on Piggots stationery, and bearing the same date as the drawing. Presumably addressed to the bindery, Gill mentions that "if the parts I have suggested to be solid can't be so done then they must simply be outlined or done by cross hatching thus" - and here he inserts another quick sketch of the figure's head with the hair cross-hatched in. As volume III was published in August, 1930, these appear to have been…

Description:
Folio London The Canterbury Tales is arguably the most successful production from the private press movement. It is a lavish and stunning production, illustrated by Eric Gill with decorated borders on almost every page, one full-page illustration, 29 half-page illustrations, and 61 initial letters. Colin Franklin has described the borders as incorporating leaf and stem, "yet among the leaves, hiding or beckoning, climbing or leaning out, are girls and men, kings and boys, priests and nuns who take part or seem to be commenting upon stories. A young man is whistling across the page, two fingers at his mouth, to a girl; Chaucer himself waves to a little god of love facing across his own poem; Pan blows pipes and a naked girl, hearing him, prepares to climb her tree; a nineteen-twentyish girl climbs up, and a sad young bearded man looking like Robert Gibbings sits, supporting the whole tree s weight, opposite; Chaucer is writing with confidence under the leaves, taking it down by dictation from the…
