1927303935Villa des Palmiers Salies-de-Béarn France 1927. 2 pp. in green ink. 4to. Some wrinkling closed tear to blank margin slight toning old folds. 2 pp. in green ink. 4to. With architectural drawings and referencing Troilus & Criseyde. Gill writes to his friend J.G. Wilson of the Bumpus Bookshop in London regarding his engraving "Flying Buttresses" mentioning his work on Troilus & Criseyde for the Golden Cockerel Press and mentioning another of his publishers. An excellent technical letter with 5 small drawings in the text. In part: "I am working like anything on the engravings for the Golden Cockerel Troilus & Criseyde. I expect to finish the engravings by about Easter . I shall come and see you as soon as possible to talk over things and explain how it happened that D. Cleverdon is publishing my next . Meanwhile this is just to make a brief apology for myself in the matter of the Buttresses! Is matter of fact they aren't so blooming wrong in the engraving as your correspondent thinks. It's the perspective which makes the difficulty." The engraving in question is "Flying Buttresses" based on a drawing of St. Pierre Chartes used to illustrated Gill's 1926 essay "Id Quod Visum Placet." Gill uses the rest of the letter to explain with the aid of five small sketches why the perspective is in fact correct. Douglas Cleverdon the Bristol bookseller and publisher brought out Gill's Art and Love in 1927 as well as a collection of his engravings in 1929. unknown books
