London: Jonathan Cape, (1948). Sixth impression, first published in 1940.
The e/papers are Cockerell paper as is the paper covered slipcase. All edges gilt. There is very slight warping to the vellum and the box is slightly rubbed o/w this is a fine example of Cockerell and Tebutt at their best. A beautiful example of two major craftsmen at their best.
Tall 8vo., bound in full toned vellum, elaborately stamped/lettered in black Indian ink with Latin version, same form for the spine title, gold stamped lines on upper and lower edges of boards and spine. Unlike the black brush lettering exhibited in most of the examples in the Duval catalogue "Sydney Morris Cockerell & Joan Rix Tebutt Thirty Recent Bindings" the lettering covering all of the front board and most of the rear board on this binding is done in outline (see scan) with the background vellum causing the effect to seem like an ancient manuscript inscription, far more effective than the full gold stamping on the examples on nos. 18 & 19 in the Duval catalogue. The general style is much the same as in Duval's No. 19 except our back board leaves a border of 1 1/2" to 2" around it. The influence of Eric Gill on Tebutt's lettering style is very obvious on this binding; more so here than on any other examples of her work I have seen.
