  • Other Name

    Large Picture Book ; no.17 (Series)

  • Description

    "In 1952 Mrs. Mary Gill, widow of Eric Gill, generously gave to the Victoria and Albert Museum her husband's file copies of his engravings; this valuable gift comprised virtually the whole of his work as an engraver on wood and metal. The present Picture Book contains a representative selection of his varied achievement in this field, depicting both religious and secular subjects, and ranging in date from 1908 until the artist's death in 1940.

    It is published in conjunction with a Catalogue of the engravings compiled by Mr. John Physick, Assistant Keeper in the Department of Public Relations and Education".
