Dealer Notes

“The work of the engravers of Golden Cockerel books gives the Press its greatest distinction and made a whole period of woodcut revival [...] These books were a happy house for talent of the time, with work from David Jones, Dorothea Braby, Eric Gill, Gwenda Morgan, Eric Ravilious, John Buckland-Wright and Blair Hughes-Stanton” (Franklin, 1969).
