Item details

An original wood engraving by Gill for ‘Clothes’, Page 132, published by the Cape, 1931. The woodcut was subsequently printed from the original woodblock for the Douglas Cleverdon edition ‘Engravings 1928-1933 by Eric Gill’, printed by Gill and Hague, published by Faber & Faber Ltd in 1934. This edition is rare and was printed in a small edition size. However, in 1944, Gill used the block for ‘In a Strange Land’ and again in 1947 in ‘Essays.’
