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.

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.

1867106101Melbourne: Charlwood and Son Booksellers Stationers and Printers 1867. First Edition. Paperback. Fine. Melbourne Charlwood and Son Booksellers Stationers and Printers July 1867. Duodecimo 167 × 108 mm 4 pages plus the wrappers. Original blue title-wrappers with advertising on all three other sides of the covers; a very fine copy. Trove has enabled us to established beyond doubt the date of publication - Saturday 20 July 1867 - according to the advertisements in the 'Argus' on that and the previous day. Ferguson 9927 noting a curious variant with the four text pages numbered 3-6 as per the digitised Petherick copy available online; in our copy they are numbered 1-4. Gill's magnum opus is still pretty funny contemporary political correctness aside; for that reason we'll skip quoting from the first page and a half. By this stage in the timeline responsible government has been achieved but the Battle of Eureka has yet to be fought thus between January 1851 and December 1854. Here the author 'will pass over a lapse of years during which nothing of any importance occurred - except the introduction of meat or fruit pies all hot and the unlimited consumption of two ales - and come to the period when Charles I. surnamed Hotham ascended the throne'. Accompanying the item is a photocopy of a four-page manuscript key to personalities and events alluded to in the screed; this is originally written signed and presumably compiled by Edward Edgar Pescott 1872-1954 horticulturalist naturalist author bibliographer and book-collector of some consequence.

2008007427Fordingbridge England: Castle Hill Press 2008. Limited and numbered issue of 2008. Hardcover. This Castle Hill Press reproduction of the original Portraits for Seven Pillars of Wisdom was initially conceived to accompany the 1997 first Castle Hill Press limited edition of the full 1922 "Oxford Text" of Seven Pillars of Wisdom. This Portraits volume is a stunning visual accompaniment to any Seven Pillars of Wisdom text featuring 41 full-page Seven Pillars Portraits 26 in full color. These are the portraits originally commissioned by Lawrence himself for his magnificent and legendary 1926 Subscriber's edition. <br /> <br />Castle Hill Press was headed by Lawrences official biographer Jeremy Wilson 1944-2017. Years after the 1997 edition of Seven Pillars and the accompanying issuance of the Portraits Wilsons Castle Hill Press issued a limited number of this stand-alone Portraits volume. In 2008 220 sets of portraits were issued thus bound in quarter linen cloth over tan laid paper-covered boards. The binding measures a substantial 11.375 x 8.125 inches 28.89 x 20.64 cm. The limitation page is hand-numbered in red ink this copy being 136. This copy is in fine condition the binding pristine the contents immaculate. <br /> <br />Seven Pillars of Wisdom is the story of T. E. Lawrence's 1888-1935 remarkable odyssey as instigator organizer hero and tragic figure of the Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War which he began as an eccentric junior intelligence officer and ended as "Lawrence of Arabia." This time defined Lawrence with indelible experience and celebrity which he spent the rest of his short life struggling to reconcile and reject to recount and repress. Lawrence famously resisted publication of his magnum opus for the general public during his lifetime. After numerous drafts abandonments and revisions in 1922 a 335000 word version was carefully circulated to select friends and literary critics - the famous "Oxford Text". George Bernard Shaw called it "a masterpiece". <br /> <br />Nonetheless Lawrence was unready to see it distributed to the public. In 1926 a further edited 250000 word "Subscriber's Edition" was produced by Lawrence - but fewer than 200 copies were made each lavishly and uniquely bound. The process cost Lawrence far more than he made in subscriptions. An essential part of the elaborate effort that produced the famous edition were the portraits commissioned by Lawrence for the edition from Frank Dobson Colin Gill Augustus John Eric Kennington Henry Lamb William Nicholson William Roberts William Rothenstein John Singer Sargent Gilbert Spencer and R. M. Young. <br /> <br />Eric Henri Kennington 1888-1960 himself a veteran of the First World War was by far the dominant artistic vision in these portraits responsible for 24 of the 41 and serving as art editor for the 1926 Subscribers Edition. Kennington actually traveled to the Middle East in order to draw his subjects from life rather than from photographs collecting portraits on a private journey through Trans-Jordan and the Hejaz. <br /> <br />Known as a painter print maker and sculptor Kennington was best regarded as "a born painter of the nameless heroes of the rank and file" whom he portrayed during both the First and Second World Wars. After the First World War Kennington met T. E. Lawrence at an exhibition of Kennington's war art. It is a credit to Kenningtons portraiture that he was even able to capture Lawrences own fretful relationship with his own fame. After Kennington produced a bust of Lawrence the subject wrote to the sculptor It represents not me but my top-moments those few seconds in which I succeed in thinking myself right out of things. In 1935 Kennington served as one of Lawrence's pallbearers. <br /> <br />Kenningtons portraits and those of his fellow artists were considered by Lawrence an essential accompanying element to his text. It is difficult not to agree. <br/><br/> Castle Hill Press hardcover

The committee was composed of Gill a physician and state health officer Clark a professor of food hygiene and health and Tucker a nutritionist; it inspected each of the state's prisons Kilby Draper Atmore and Julia Tutwiler women's the state Cattle Ranch and all of its road camps paying particular attention to medical and dental services rehabilitation work and food services and nutrition noting many deficiencies in all areas and making recommendations for remediation in detail.
