GOLDEN COCKEREL PRESS - ERIC GILL

The Four Gospels of the Lord Jesus Christ According to the Authorized Version of King James I, NUMBER 43 OF 500 COPIES, 65 wood-engraved illustrations (some full-page), headlines and initials by Eric Gill, modern white pigskin by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, t.e.g., matching pigskin-edged slipcase [Chanticleer 78], folio, Waltham St Lawrence, 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).
