195031577AB1950. England / Ireland c.1950 - 1990. Octavo / Quarto. Hardcover Box / Bespoke made Box labelled "General Gill" for the private library of Prof.David Dave Naylor. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. Gill William Daniel 191692 geologist was born 29 June 1916 at Hillam Yorks. second child among three sons and three daughters of Richard Wells Gill farmer and Eva Gill née Hesselgrave. He was educated at Castleford Grammar School and Leeds University where he had a successful undergraduate career and received a degree in geology 1938. Robert George Spencer Hudson was his professor and the two men remained close friends for the next thirty years. On leaving Leeds he joined the Attock Oil Company 1938 as a field geologist and palaeontologist. During the second world war he worked as a development geologist and petroleum engineer in India including the Punjab later part of Pakistan and Burma and became a leading expert on Himalayan geology. In 1948 he left the oil industry for academia and a lectureship in geology at Nottingham University. Two years later he was awarded a D.Sc. 1950 by Leeds University for his publications on Himalayan geology and in 1953 he was appointed professor of geology and mineralogy at TCD the first non-Irish holder of the position since 1883. Under his direction and with the aid of funds from the earl of Iveagh qv and oil industry contacts the geology department experienced a period of expansion. A vibrant postgraduate school of research was initiated which led eventually to an increase in staff numbers. The museum building which housed the department was internally reconstructed to include new research and teaching facilities. Unfortunately many of the original museum's historic rock collections were discarded in the move. In Ireland his research interests focused on the Upper Carboniferous rocks of Co. Clare and particularly on the deformation features of soft sedimentary structures so clearly exposed there. He published a significant paper on sand volcanoes with P. H. Keunen 1958 and brought his Clare work together in a later publication of the Geological Survey of Ireland 1979. He was in his element in the field where his enthusiasm for his subject was said to be more eloquent than in the lecture theatre. As oil and mineral exploration was initiated in Ireland in the 1950s he took on the role of consultant and with his students was involved in regional geological mapping. He expanded his consultancy role to oil companies in Libya and Greece and in 1961 resigned from Trinity to accept the chair of oil technology at the Royal School of Mines Imperial College London later becoming professor of petroleum geology 1976. Hudson his original professor replaced him at TCD 19616 in the chair of geology. In London Gill introduced the M.Sc. course in petroleum geology and established the first UK-based organic geochemistry laboratory for the study of petroleum-source rocks 1969. He continued to consult with oil companies and governments in Europe the Middle East Africa Australia and Canada. His extraordinary memory and ability to assimilate and synthesise information and data led to successful oil finds in newly explored areas. As a geologist he was most interested in the concepts of large-scale tectonic processes in such places as the Alps the Himalayas and the east African rift. However his impatience with detail meant his publication record never quite kept pace with his achievements. During his career he was elected FTCD 1958 fellow of the Geological Society of London and of the Institute of Petroleum London MRIA 1955 and member of the RDS vice-president 1959 1961. A self-confident and flamboyant man with a large physical presence he is said to have had grandiose plans which did not always come to pass. Known as Dan he was popular with both students and staff and was viewed as warm-hearted and straightforward. University politics however were not his strong point. On the death of Hudson 1966 Gill professed an interest in returning to Trinity provided he did not have to submit a formal application form. However TCD did not respond. He married 1946 in India Margaret Betty Torrance whom he had met in the Yorkshire dales when he was mapping as a student; they had two daughters. Their houses 16 Garville Avenue Rathgar Dublin and 85 Platt's Lane Hampstead London were the frequent hub of late-night parties where Dan would sing and play the piano. An active sportsman he loved cricket and was president of the Trinity boat and rugby clubs. In 1978 he retired to Glusburn Green Glusburn Yorks. but continued consultancy work in the Middle East for some time afterwards. His wife died in 1987; five years later he died 29 October 1992 in Yorkshire. This Biography was authored by Patricia M.

1925154041Waltham St Lawrence: Golden Cockerel Press 1925. Gill's remarkable fusion of religious text with erotic illustration First Golden Cockerel edition number 246 of 750 copies. Of all the books Gill illustrated it was perhaps The Song of Songs which gave him the freest reign to explore the relationship of the erotic and the religious the fusion of which characterised his illustrations throughout his career. It stands among his most significant works. "The most important Golden Cockerel editions for which Eric Gill provided the engravings were The Song of Songs 1925 Troilus and Criseyde 1927 The Canterbury Tales 1928 and The Four Gospels of 1931 - Gill's and Gibbings's tour de force. No other wood-engraver of the period comes near to Gill's originality and verve. But once again the explicit eroticism of The Song of Songs and of Gill's later illustrations for E. Powys Mather's Procreant Hymn of 1926 shocked many of his former supporters and drew puzzled reproaches from the Dominicans" ODNB. Quarto. Text printed in red and black. With 19 wood-engraved illustrations throughout by Eric Gill. Original white cloth lettering to spine in gilt. With dust jacket. Corners slightly bumped browning to endpapers as usual a near-fine and sharp copy; dust jacket slightly toned with some minor foxing wear and minor loss to extremities short closed tear to front panel a very good example of a rare jacket.

IV of fifty numbered copies of an edition of 150. St Dominic's Press was the publishing arm of the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic in Ditchling; Pepler had moved there in 1915 to collaborate with Gill but financial disagreements between the two men contributed to Gill's decision to leave Ditchling for Capel-y-Ffin in 1924. Gill wanted to take the woodblocks for these engravings with him but Pepler considered them to be the property of the Dominican Order of which he was a lay member and for whom the works had been intended. He refused to let Gill take the blocks and instead produced this magnificent collection of images featuring the artist's characteristic mixture of the divine and the profane. Gill never spoke to Pepler again although Pepler's son David d. 1934 was married to Gill's daughter Betty. Provenance: With the bookplate of Andrew and Mary Henderson Bishop of Lanarkshire best known for lending their name to one of the most prestigious ladies' curling competitions in Scotland.

192422644<p>London: Printed & Published by The Westminster Press 11 Henrietta Street Covent Garden W.C. 1924 but 1927. 750 by 945mm. 29.5 by 37.25 inches. Gill's humorous map of London and its Underground Stations Chromolithograph plan minor repairs to corners and old folds strengthened. Gill's humorous map of London and its underground stations. "During his lifetime MacDonald Gill's acclaim rested on artistic endeavours of amazing diversity; one area of particular celebrity involved the pictorial maps he designed for both governmental and private organisations. The first of these maps was commissioned in 1913 as a poster for use in the stations of the privately held Underground Electric Railways Company. The enthusiasm of the public for this poster was such that a smaller version titled the Wonderground Map of London Town was published for sale the following year. On the occasion of Gill's death in 1947 the Journal of the Royal Institute of British Architects referred to this Wonderground Map as "a cartographical masterpiece." Its groundbreaking design with emphasis on visual and verbal whimsy and bold primary colors awakened a generation of cartographers to the imaginative possibilities of pictorial mapmaking." Elizabeth Burden The text around the map reads: "The Heart of Britain's Empire Here is Spread Out for Your View. It Shows You Many Stations & Bus Routes Not a Few. You Have Not the Time to Admire it All Why not Take a Map Home to Pin on Your Wall." The current example dates from 1927 and bears to the upper left a greyhound above a sign 'On to Wembley'. This is a change from the lion featured in the previous edition of 1924 used to denote the location of The British Empire Exhibition of that year.</p> Printed & Published by The Westminster Press, 11 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, W.C.,

In a very good - one chip to the top of the spine with a little browning to the spine - rubbing chipping and browning generally. Becoming scarce. Accompanied by a mounted and framed title page from a first edition book of '25 Nudes' above the mounted signature of Eric Gill. A beautiful set. "25 Nudes" is a controversial set of erotic engravings created by British artist Eric Gill in the early 20th century. Known for his contributions to typography and sculpture Gill's explicit depiction of the human form sparked debate due to his unconventional lifestyle and personal beliefs. The series features intricate yet explicit representations of nude figures reflecting Gill's fascination with the human body and sensuality. Despite the artistic merit the controversy surrounding Gill's private life including allegations of misconduct has led to a complex legacy. The engravings remain a testament to the intersection of art sexuality and the artist's unconventional world view. Dent for Hague and Gill unknown

118739A superb collection of Gill material A remarkable collection including the dedication copy of the From the Jerusalem Diary inscribed by the editor Mary Gill Eric Gill's widow "To Austen St B. Harrison with happy memories from M.E.G." with the Eric Gill-designed bookplate of Austen St Barbe Harrison to the front pastedown. Harrison a close personal friend of Gill 1882-1940 was the architect with whom he collaborated on the design for the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem. In 1934 Gill was commissioned to carve ten panels for the museum sculpt the fountain in the Central Court and carve the English Arabic and Hebrew letters of the inscriptions throughout the building. Gill's designs symbolized "the civilizations of that have most affected the history of Palestine together with the tympanum over the main entrance". The extracts from the diary he kept during his time there were published posthumously by his widow. It was preceded by an earlier version From the Palestine Diary printed by the Hague & Gill Press in 1949 of which two copies are here present. The Palestine Diary was subsequently abandoned and only a small number of copies of the aborted edition now survive. René Hague Gill's son-in-law co-founder of the Press and master printer initally printed the sheets for the Harvill Press. However "delays occurred and cancel title pages were printed . . . dated 1951 and 1952 with the imprint 'High Wycombe Hague Gill & Davey Ltd" Gill pp. 87-8. These are present here bound into copy b. Bookseller G. F. Sims later purchased the surviving sheets and had them bound up by Sangorksi & Sutcliffe. In two letters to Harrison Gill's other son-in-law and stone-carving assistant Denis Tegetmeier discusses the abandonment of the publication. Writing from Pigotts Gill's home and workshop in High Wycombe he explains that "there was an edition printed here but never bound or published and minus the illustrations . . . I think the crisis which finally overtook the Press was responsible for the failure" 2 January 1959. The shortened version of the Palestine Diary entitled From the Jerusalem Diary was finally printed in 1953 by Linotype with illustrations from photos of Gill's carvings. In Tegetmeier's second letter dated 12 February 1959 he stresses the differences between the two publications: "the edition which was hand-set & printed here has really nothing to do with that printed by Linotype which was produced privately chiefly as a display of Eric's type 'Pilgrim' which they had recently acquired. The plan for producing an edition here which was a much earlier & entirely different venture proved abortive owing to the breakup of the Press & lack of funds to finance the binding etc. No blocks for the illus. were made & it only got as far as the printing of the letterpress". Accompanying the books are several pieces of correspondence from Mary Gill to Harrison: i Christmas card 1955 featuring a photo of Gill's carving of The Good Samaritan 1938 for Coventry Hospital which was bombed in 1941; ii Christmas card 1960 featuring Joseph and the Child with iii an autograph letter signed from Mary Gill dated 21 December 1960 "I feel very much immersed in our industrial world - of 1960 - with its noise commercialism - and dangers . . . I know Eric would have hated it!"; iv poignantly an autograph letter signed from Joanna Hague Gill's daughter and wife of René Hague dated 25 July 1961 informing Harrison of her mother's death on 22 March that year: Joanna explains the delay in writing to him "I couldn't find your address among Mother's papers but Bernard Wall . . . was able to give it to me . . . I don't think he knew what a close friend you were". Together 4 works small octavo. Jerusalem Diary: 10 photogravures reproducing carvings by Eric Gill at the Rockefeller Museum courtyard.
