[Gill, Eric] Ashford, Faith. Poor Man's Pence
(Ditchling, Sussex: St. Dominic's Press, 1917). First edition. From the library of Eric Gill, and with his book-plate on front paste-down. Inscribed in red ink on front blank by the printer, H.D.C. Pepler: "The Feast of S. Elizabeth of Hungary A D 1922 to another Eliza. from the printer, HDCP". With woodcut device on title-page, attributed to Gill, and five in-text woodcut devices (three attributed to Gill). Original quarter linen over drab paper-covered boards; all edges trimmed. Gill 362
Eric Gill's copy of the 16th publication from St. Dominic's Press, featuring three woodcut devices attributed to him. This binding is not recorded in Evan Gill's bibliography, which calls for brown paper wrappers. This copy with a variant title-page, with a woodcut device of an angel on a horse (matching Evan Gill's own copy), instead of the St. Dominic's Press cruciform device found in standard copies.
This lot is located in Philadelphia.
