First edition, first impression, number 439 of 450 copies, presentation copy, inscribed "To Miss H.M. Wade-Gery from Robert Gibbings. 14-10-25" on front free endpaper. Gibbings took over The Golden Cockerell Press in February 1924. This copy was presented to the sister of H. T. Wade-Gery, the classical scholar and author of the second book printed by the Press. This collection of poetry by Enid Clay, collects examples previously published in The English Review and the Observer. Gibbings had previously tried to involve Eric Gill in the work of The Golden Cockerell Press but the artist had refused as Gibbings was not a Catholic. When Gibbings sought to publish the work of Gill's sister, Enid, the artist commenced a long and productive relationship with the press. Chanticleer 25; Gill 274. Octavo. Original buff cloth-backed blue boards, paper spine label. Eight wood-engraved illustrations by Eric Gill. Bookseller's label to front pastedown. Head and foot of spine slightly bumped, extremities slightly sunned; a very good copy.
