Ditchling, Sussex: Pepler & Sewell, St Dominic's Press, 1935. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. No. 140 of 300 copies, octavo size, [46] pp. 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 Thomas Derrick, among others. Per the bibliography, "[The] Title page engraving has been attributed to Gill." ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in quarter-linen buff paper-covered boards, engraving on the title page of a chalice and wafer surrounded by a stylized sunburst; octavo size (8 1/4" x 5 1/2"), unpaginated with twenty-three printed leaves, errata slip tipped in at the back, limited edition of 300 copies, this is copy numbered 140, printed at St Dominic's Press, Ditchling Common, Hassocks, Sussex. ___CONDITION: Volume is near fine, with minimal rubbing, a strong, square text block and solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; slightly discolored boards and very slightly bumped corners, lacking the dust jacket. ___CITATION: Taylor & Sewell no.
