December, 1946. GRAY'S ELEGY WRITTEN IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD. By Thomas Gray. Edited and with a foreword by Christopher Sandford. 9 wood-engravings by Gwenda Morgan. 22 pp. 7 ½ x 5 ins. Caslon's Old Face 12 pt. type. 750 numbered copies on mould-made paper. 80 copies in full green morocco, price 4 gns. 670 copies in ¼ blud buckram with marbled paper boards, price 25s.
A gratifying essay in period printing to suit the beloved poem. Gwenda Morgan filled me with admiration by producing a set of engravings which, though entirely in the modern vein, proved a perfect complement to the eighteenth century text. Technically dexterous, they were also delightfully interpretative of village life in England and the unchanging face of the land.
