Itâs Fine Press Friday!
This week we present pages from the 1927 Golden Cockerel Press edition of The True Historie of Lucian the Samosatenian, printed in an edition of 275 copies in both Greek and English, with an early 17th-century English translation by Francis Hickes (1566-1631) and original wood engravings by Robert Gibbings, who was also the owner of the Golden Cockerel Press from 1924 to 1933. This was the first of the Pressâs large-scale publications with illustrations by Gibbings. The main text block in English is set in 14-pt. Caslon, with the Greek text, composed at the Oxford University Press, and/or Gibbingsâs engravings wrapped around in smaller blocks on three sides.
Book historians Roderick Cave and Sarah Manson note that of the seventy-or-so publications produced by the press during the Gibbings era, eighteen were illustrated by Gibbings himself, and they consider The True Historie to be among the top-five finest productions of the press, and âamong the foremost English Illustrated books of the twentieth century.â The press crew for this production was quite seasoned, and had been with the Press since the first owner Hal Taylor hired them in the early 1920s. These included the compositors Frank Young and Harry Gibbs, and the master printer Albert Cooper. Young and Cooper quit the press when it was sold to Christopher Sanford in 1933, but Gibbs remained with the press, moving to the Chiswick Press in London where Sanford had transferred all of the pressâs compositing and printing work.
Our copy of True Historie is another gem from the Jerry Buff donation.
