[Chanticleer 105].
This is a charming little volume by the Golden Cockerel Press, printed to mark the Silver Jubilee of King George V in May 1935 and bears a superb wood-engraved frontispiece, a head-piece illustrating transport and progress (steam train crossing a viaduct, a biplane, windmills) and fifteen further decorative wood-engraved vignettes by Eric Ravilious (1903 – 1942) the famed engragver, water-colorist and muralist who illustrated war scenes while he was assigned to the Admiralty during W.W. II. He was lost in action in Iceland in 1942. This is one of three books illustrated by Ravilious for the Golden Cockerel Press. Founded by Harold Midgely Taylor in 1920 with the object of publishing new works of literary significance by young authors and to print and publish fine editions of books of established worth. When Mr. Taylor retired in 1924 it was purchased by Robert Gibbings, known as an illustrator and woodcutter (Tomkinson, p .93)
"Golden Cockerel books are amongst the most popular and desirable private press items." (Ransom p. 106).
