Chanticleer: A Bibliography of the Golden Cockerel Press, April 1921-1936

112pp, illustrated with engravings by John Farleigh, Celia Fiennes, Tirah Garwood, Robert Gibbings, Eric Gill, Gertrude Hermes, Blair Hughes-Stanton, David Jones, Lynton Lamb, Agnes Miller Parker, John Nash, Paul Nash, Eric Ravilious and Lettice Sandford. Yellow cloth-covered boards (strong and square but a little grubby with some marks and rounded at corners). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight barring a hint of age toning. A useful bibliography of one of the UK’s leading private presses which produced fine handmade editions of classic works. The Press’s publications often included fine wood engraving from leading artists, some of which are reproduced in this bibliography.
