Both items in fair condition, on lightly aged and creased paper. The second letter addressed by the secretary on the reverse, with four torn stamps and postmarks, to 'Mr. Lawrence Hodson | Bradbourne Hall | Ashbourne | Derbyshire'. The 'set of stations' referred to in the first letter is likely to have been based on those executed by Gill in stone in Westminster Cathedral, and completed in 1918. Letter One (3 November 1920): 1p., 12mo. After thanking Hodson for his letter, Gill informs him that 'Father Delaney [Father Bernard Delaney, OP] says he will certainly publish your article [in 'Blackfriars', the journal of the English Dominicans, of which he was editor] and I am very pleased.' Hodson's 'suggestion that a set of stations should be made in wood cuts is already in hand [last two words placed in quotation marks by Gill]'. Gill 'has seen the cuts' and thinks that 'something in the same manner would certainly be effective and might be very useful'. Gill is sending Hodson a copy of 'the little book that we brought out some years ago', and he will let him know 'as soon as the bigger ones materialise'. Letter Two (10 March 1921): 1p., landscape 12mo. He thanks Hodson for another letter, 'and for the note on "Dress" which I am sending on to the editor of "Blackfriars". I hope he will publish it, and am glad you approved of the article.' He continues: 'I will see that a print of the large woodcut of the first "Station" is sent to you.' He concludes by informing Hodson that he will be 'very pleased to see you when you can come to Ditchling'. While chairman of the brewers W. Butler & Co., Hodson had organised the Wolverhampton Art and Industrial Exhibition of 1902. A connoisseur of the arts, his collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings and library of illuminated manuscripts were auctioned by Sotheby's in 1906.…

Hardcover. Thirty-seven folio (8-3/4" x 13") volumes bound in gold-stamped half natural buckram, top edges gilt, with the paper sides, printed in four colors. Edited by Herbert Farjeon, who created the Nonesuch edition text of Shakespeare, to restore the original typographic style and spelling; typography planned and production supervised by Bruce Rogers. Each of the 37 volumes is illustrated by one of the world's leading book artists including Arthur Rackham, Eric Gill, Robert Gibbings, Jean Charlot, and Frans Masereel. Media include wood engravings and lithographs with some hand coloring. An attempt to "produce a text such as Shakespeare himself might have passed for the printer had he personally read the proofs," and surely one of the most beautiful editions, if not the most beautiful edition, of Shakespeare ever produced. Each volume is copy #705 of 1950 copies issued unsigned. Included are the Commentaries for each play, never folded in this case. The covers reproduce a patterned wall painting uncovered under many layers of wallpaper in a room in an old house in Oxford that belonged to John Davenant where Shakespeare spent nights on his annual journey to Warwickshire. When one looks at the outside of one of these books, one probably sees the very design Shakespeare saw waking after a long night of talking and drinking with Davenant who was a vintner. Slight browning to the gutters of some volumes, contents bright and fresh. Spines foxed to varying degrees, some very much so. Overall an attractive set in at least Very Good condition. Arthur Rackham; Eric Gill; Robert Gibbings; Frans Masereel; Jean Charlot (illustrator). …
