Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near fine. Limited Edition. No. 129 of 160, octavo size, 206 pp., signed by Eric Gill. Clothing has long been an integral part of society, and can be used to reflect diverse religious and cultural identities. In this essay, Eric Gill (1882-1940) discusses the significance of clothes in society and argues fo…r a more egalitarian approach to clothing; for example, Gill advocates the suitability of men's clothing (trousers) for women, as a way to liberate the sexes and create a more equal society. Gill provides wood engravings for the book, illustrating his concepts and showcasing his masterful rendering of the technique; his illustrations have a slightly satirical slant while evoking the pathos of his arguments. ___DESCRIPTION: Quarter brown pigskin with marbled paper boards, gilt rules and lettering on the spine, top edge gilt, fore- and bottom edges uncut, illustrations include title page device "Woman Dancing" (P712); "Art and Prudence" (P714); "Clothes as Houses" (P715); "Clothes as Workshops" (P716); "Clothes as Churches and Town Halls" (P717); "Clothes for Special Parts" (P718); "The Tyranny of Tailors" (P719); "Nature and Nakedness" (P720); "Trousers" (P21); and a tailpiece of "Trousers and Spats" (P722); octavo (7.5" by 5.25"), pagination: [i-vii] [1-2] 3-196 [197-198] [1 colophon], one of 160 copies, this number 129, signed "Eric G" on the colophon. ___CONDITION: Volume is near fine, with clean boards, straight corners, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; some slight rubbing to the bottom edges of the boards and to the corners, a faint stain to the gutter of Contents page, and very slight cracking to the gutter at pages 128 and 129, but hinges are still tight. ___CITATION: Gill 22. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard shipping charge does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind book we sell.

Contact seller5-star sellerdj. First edition. Gill, Eric. First edition. Extra-illustrated a with a proof wood-engraving, "Mellors" by Eric Gill. With ten wood engravings by the author, some full page, with title page image repeated in red on front panel of jacket. 1 vols. 8vo. Clothes is dedicated "To Prudence," a.k.a. Prudence Pelham, a young and beauti…ful sculptor/apprentice of Gill's, to whom he was deeply attracted. Gill found her "stimulating and provocative as well as beautiful. She was then eighteen. He encouraged her interest in art. He indoctrinated her into the mysteries of the male anatomy; Eric Gill's was the first penis she had ever seen. She was a frequent visitor at the Pigotts of this period, sometimes staying for a week or two, working in the workshop alongside Gill's other pupils. She had that English aristocrat's informality. She responded easily to the unknown situation. This was one of the things Gill appreciated in her. He dedicated CLOTHES to her." (MacCarthy, Eric Gill, pp. 250-251). The inscription on the flyleaf, written in ink in Gill's beautiful lettering (which shows the influence of Edward Johnston, Gill's teacher): "P.P. from e.g. June, 1931." Of more than passing interest is the Gill wood engraving ("Mellors") which Prudence Pelham (or Gill himself) must have affixed to the rear endpaper. A fine view of a nude male in profile, it was intended as an illustration to Lady Chatterly's Lover, but, according to Cleverdon's note, was "never used in any edition." It was incorporated, however, as the frontispiece to Clothing Without Cloth, published by the Golden Cockerel Press in June, 1931 - the same date as this inscription to Pelham. According to Evan Gill, the date of publication of Clothes was not until July 6, 1931 - a month later. Gill Bibliography 22; Physick 727 (engraving).

Contact seller5-star seller1 p. each, annotations in another hand at bottom of one. 8vo. Three letters to Dr. Alfred Charles Jordan (1872-1956), British radiologist, co-founder of the New Heath Society, and Honorary Secretary of the Men's Dress Reform Party. In the letter of June 9, Gill agrees to present a copy of his book, Clothes (1931), at the upcomin…g revel of the MDRP, and says he's asked his publisher Cape to send a copy for him to autograph. In the letter of June 17, he encloses the book and thanks Jordan for tickets to the event, saying he will "certainly come . unless run over or in jug." In the letter of July 2, he writes, "I did enjoy the evening at Suffolk St. very much. But I was sorry so many of the men were merely in 'fancy' dress." He also accepts Jordan's invitation to have his name added to the organization's permanent committee. Accompanying the group is a Typed Letter Signed of Gill, dated May 13, 1936, in which Gill requests four issues of the MDRP publication. The subtitle of Gill's "Clothes," is "An essay upon the nature and significance of the natural and artificial integuments worn by men and women." In it Gill presents many ideas on dress reform for both men and women, among which was his advocacy the skirt or tunic by both men and women, a style that Gill himself adopted. The Men's Dress Reform Party was active from 1929-1940, and grew out of discussions within the Clothing Subcommittee of the New Health Society, which had been co-founded by Dr. Jordan in 1925. (For a history of the MDRP, including Dr. Jordan's role in it, see Barbara Burman, "Better and Brighter Clothes," Journal of Design History, Vol. 8, No. 4 (1995), pp. 275-290). Old folds, letter of July 2 unevenly toned 1 p. each, annotations in another hand at bottom of one. 8vo. Signed.
