GOLDEN COCKEREL PRESS
The Four Gospels of the Lord Jesus Christ According to the Authorized Version of King James I, NUMBER 92 OF 488 COPIES, 65 wood-engraved illustrations by Eric Gill, original half pigskin by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, t.e.g. [Chanticleer 78], folio, Golden Cockerel Press, 1931
Footnotes
"The Golden Cockerel book usually compared with the Doves Bible and the Kelmscott Chaucer. A flower among the best products of English romantic genius, it is also surely, thanks to its illustrator, Eric Gill, the book among all books, in which Roman type has been mated with any kind of illustration" (Chanticleer).
