EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white wood engraving, titled "Cockerel and the Printing Press, 1926" is a remarkable piece of art that beautifully captures the essence of the early 20th-century printing industry. Created by Eric Gill, a renowned artist from the Golden Cockerel Press, this illustration showcases his exceptional talent in woodcutting. The image depicts a majestic cockerel standing proudly next to an old-fashioned printing press. The intricate details of both the bird and machinery are masterfully engraved, highlighting Gill's skillful craftsmanship. The monochrome palette adds depth and intensity to this historic scene. As we delve into this artwork, we can't help but feel transported back in time to an era when print was king. This wood engraving serves as a visual reminder of how vital printing presses were for disseminating knowledge and information during those days.

It reminds us that behind every great publication lies countless hours spent perfecting each letterform on these magnificent machines. This print from Heritage Images is more than just a decorative piece; it represents our collective fascination with history and our appreciation for artistic expression.
