(Gill, Eric) Gill, Evan R. ERIC GILL, A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
Revised by D. Steven Corey and Julia Mackenzie. Winchester St Paul's Bibliographies 1991 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xv, 368 pages.
Decades have passed since the death of Eric Gill (1882-1940) and yet the reputation of this remarkable artist and thinker continues to grow. Famous for his stone carving, wood engraving, type designs and writing, he has also found a wide appeal amongst a younger generation who are sympathetic to his outlook on life - to "make a cell of good living in the chaos of our world." Since the original bibliography by Gill's brother, Evan, was published in 1953, a great deal of new material has come to light in the fine collections built up in the USA and elsewhere in recent years, and this new edition is a complete revision of the original bibliography. It includes not only all the new discoveries but also the material published on Gill in the last thirty-eight years. The number of bibliographical entries has increased by over one third in this greatly expanded work. The book has been redesigned with advice from Gill's nephew, Christopher Skelton, placing greater emphasis on the illustrations, which have been either retaken from the original editions or introduced as completely new ones of bibliographical interest.

(Golden Cockerel Press) Cave, Roderick and Sarah Manson A HISTORY OF THE GOLDEN COCKEREL PRESS, 1920-1960.
New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2003 small 4to. cloth, dust jacket 288 pages
First edition. The Golden Cockerel Press, one of the foremost publishers of illustrated books, was the most important and productive of the English private presses during the period of 1920-1960. This notable work is the first extensive study of the press, based on interviews and the Press' widely-scattered archives. Richly illustrated with sixteen pages of color illustrations and over 150 black-and-white illustrations, this work delves into the history of the press and discusses and assesses its important private press books. Closely associated with the revival of wood-engraving, the Golden Cockerel Press books were vehicles for the work of such artists as Robert Gibbings, Eric Gill, David Jones, Agnes Miller Parker, Eric Ravilious, John Buckland-Wright and others. Unlike other fine presses that succumbed to the Depression or closed during the Second World War, Golden Cockerel continued to produce outstanding books. The Press' literary achievement was as significant as its artistic contribution through its publication of original manuscripts by writers such as H.E. Bates, A.E. Coppard and T.E. Lawrence. This work also reveals how the market for fine books was created and sustained, and it provides many insights into other aspects of the British publishing scene. A bibliography of all books printed by the Golden Cockerel Press is included. SALES RIGHTS: Available in North & South America from Oak Knoll Books. Available outside North & South America from The British Library.

(Golden Cockerel Press) Swinburne, Algernon Charles PASIPHAE.
(London Golden Cockerel Press 1950) 8vo. two-toned blue and gold cloth with design in gilt on front cover, top edge gilt, others uncut. 40 pages
Printed in an edition limited to 500 copies(Cock-A-Hoop 185). Swinburne's poem, here correctly printed for the first time, has been prepared for press from the manuscript in the British Museum and introduced by Randolph Hughes, who remarked that "the get-up of the book is admirable...worthy of the poem itself, and that is saying a lot" (Cave, History of the Golden Cockerel Press 202). "Among the greatest poets of antiquity, Euripedes, Propertius, Virgil, and Ovid all found in the legend of beautiful, tortured Pasiphae, who loved a bull (as a result of divine wrath), a subject to evoke sublime verse, and Swinburne when he chose this theme, was in noble company. Ignored by editors and critics-- because of its subject matter-- the poem is nevertheless comparable with his finest work. Although this is a sister volume to "Hero & Leander (no. 183), I did not want the two to be identical twins, and so used Bembo roman type to give a different effect. (Cock-A-Hoop 185). Illustrated with 7 copper engravings by John Buckland Wright (1897-1954) with his usual "restrained, but full-blooded eroticism." Light rubbing of covers.

Goldman, Paul BEYOND DECORATION, THE ILLUSTRATIONS OF JOHN EVERETT MILLAIS
New Castle, Delaware & London, England & Middlesex, England Oak Knoll Press & The British Library & Private Libraries Association 2005 7 x 12 inches Hardcover, dust jacket 337 pages
First edition. John Everett Millais is admired as one of the most celebrated of Pre-Raphaelite painters. Perhaps less known is the major contribution he made both to book and periodical illustration between 1852 and 1883. Many of these book illustrations remain little known today, largely due to the fact that they are scattered in hundreds of 19th century books and periodicals. This important new work brings together over 300 examples of Millais illustrations, enabling this part of his work to be viewed and appreciated by new generations. This work will be an important reference to any scholar interested in Victorian book illustration.
Paul Goldman was a curator in the Department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum. He is the author of Victorian Illustrated Books 1850-1870 - The Heyday of Wood-Engraving (British Museum Press, 1994) and Victorian Illustration - The Pre-Raphaelites, The Idyllic School and The High Victorians (Scolar Press, 1996).
