Limited to 360 numbered copies (Cock-a-hoop 189). A simple love tale illustrated with 8 aquatints by John Buckland-Wright. Printed on Arnold's mould-made paper in Caslon's Old Face type. Cock-A-Hoop- "A simple tale, as evanescent as the scent of wild thyme, into which Phyllis Hartnoll wove the mingled ecstasy and heart-break of young lover..." Exceptionally suited to illustration, the tale inspired John Buckland-Wright to create a series of large and brilliant copper engravings combined experimentally with aquatint." However, Cave and Manson state in A History of The Golden Cockerel Press 1920-1960 (see pages 202-203) that Sanford "decided to cut expenditure by substituting collotype reproductions instead of intaglio prints in ordinary copies...though 'special' copies still had a set of the prints printed intaglio." Very fine copy.

(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.

With a Foreword by L.F. Thompson. Merrickville Greyweathers Press 2010 4to cloth-backed paper covered boards, paper cover and spine labels. 6, 13 wood cuts, (2) pages
First edition. One of 100 numbered copies. Wood engravers toiling away at their trade during the last quarter of the nineteenth century could be forgiven for feeling a touch of despair. Since the early 1800s, they had practiced a viable trade, with graver in hand over an endgrain block, cutting illustrations for a healthy proportion of books, newspapers and periodicals. In the 1880s, they witnessed the advent of photomechanical printing plates and, in direct competition, felt the ominous rising tide of obsolescence. As this new technology became more efficient, less expensive and generally accepted over the next twenty years, commercial wood engravers would begin to pack up their blocks, wrap up their tools and seek other employment. It could well be this very occurrence that lay behind the discovery, 130 years on, of a collection of nineteenth century engraved boxwood blocks and, ultimately, the creation of this portfolio.
Beautiful privately printed book featuring thirteen wood engravings from Samuel Smith Kilburn, Boston, George Matthews, Boston & Montreal F. Archibald.
