Description
London: Samuel French Limited [printed by the St Dominic's Press, Ditchling Common, Hassocks], 1932. Hardcover. Near fine. Revised variant edition, duodecimo size, 116 pp. Mimes, the author states, are similar to early liturgical plays and this work includes mimes titled, "The Stations of the Cross", "The Rosary", "St. George and the Turkish Knight", 'Harlequinade" and "Sir Galahad"; illustrated with drawings of masks designed and made by Dunstan Pruden. The Saint Dominic's Press, founded by Harry (Hilary) Douglas Clarke Pepler, flourished at Ditchling, Sussex, from 1916 to 1936. The first home of the Press was "a disused stable", with a hundred-year-old Stanhope hand-press which supposedly had belonged to William Morris. Pepler endeavored to do everything possible by hand, believing that such would both produce the best results and also be a "more individual or 'humane'...product". He therefore "preferred the handpress to the machine, handmade to machine-made paper, and handset founder's type to the products of typesetting machines." Pepler met Edward Johnston and Eric Gill while living in Hammersmith; Pepler and his family would eventually move to Ditchling to join Gill, who was one of the most important artists to provide illustrations for the St. Dominic's Press. Other artists who provided illustrations included David Jones, Desmond Chute, Philip Hagreen, and Mary Dudley Short, among others. ___DESCRIPTION: Printed tan paper wrappers with yapped edges, black lettering and a small illustration on the front wrap and title page; duodecimo size (7 1/2" x 5"), pagination: [i-iv] 1-110 [111] [1, colophon]. . ___CONDITION: Near fine, the wraps clean, a strong, square text block, the interior is clean and entirely free of prior owner markings; dustiness to the yapped edges, a lightly stamped price ("Price 75¢") at the bottom margin of the front wrap, small creases on front cover and slight foxing to endpapers. ___CITATIONS: Taylor and Sewell, no. A218; note that the quotes and much of the introductory information from "Three Private Presses" by Brocard Sewell. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
