A propos de cet article

'A Typographical Masterpiece' Beautifully illustrated with works by Eric Gill including archive paste-ups, proofs, and photographs of the production of the Gospels. This is an account by John Dreyfus of Gill's collaboration with Robert Gibbings in producing the celebrated Golden Cockerel Press edition of 'The Four Gospels' in 1931. "Through a combination of good luck and exceptional help from librarians and collectors on both sides of the Atlantic, I have been able to locate a great many documents which throw new light on what went on during the planning and production of The Four Gospels by Gibbings and Gill." This edition of only 250 copies was printed by Meridan-Stinchour Press, on Superfine Paper from the Mohawk Paper Mills. The duotone photographs are by Michael Arsenault. The text was composed in Linotronic Galliard designed by Matthew Carter. Main title and chapter headings set in Golden Cockerel at the Rampant Lions Press, Cambridge. Golden Cockerel device on title page engraved by Robert Gibbings. Bound in Vermont by Judi Conant, the book was designed by John Dreyfus. Issued with the publisher's plain unprinted dustwrapper as issued. A similar edition was published in USA for the book club of California. This volume is still sealed, and RARE thus. It is beautifully bound in red cloth with gold lettering on the spine and the design on the front board is a combination of two elements by Eric Gill. The border was designed in 1931 for an edition of Aesop's Fables, but not used. The lettering is an arrangement by Gill of letters he cut for the Golden Cockerel Press in 1928.The excellent text covers Gibbings and Gill at the Golden Cockerel Press, The Golden Cockerel Type, Planning the Edition, and Producing the Edition, along with some Opinions on the Edition. There is an Epilogue, and an Alphabetical list of Gill's Captions, as well as an Index. The large format is 34 x 24 cm and it weighs over 1 kilo. This is a an excellent production very beautifully produced. Published by Bain & Williams, London in 1991. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng.…
