About this Item

Number 49 of 200 "proof" copies, signed by the author and artist (with a colophon substituting the half-title). 12 illustrations from wood-engravings by Eric Gill. Canvas-backed pictorial red paper boards, lettered up the spine. A very good bright copy. Printed at the Westminster Press. Not counted by Taylor & Sewell as a Saint Dominic's Press production, though frequently associated with that Press. 1500 copies were printed in total. Pepler has actually numbered this copy twice, having thought that his first attempt looked a bit like '64'. He has added his initials to the correction. (Gill 259).
