Condición: Near fine. Eric Ravilious Ilustrador. Limited Edition. Small folio, 13 1/4 x 9 1/4 in (330 x 235 mm); pp. v +76 + colophon. This in no. 94 of 275 copies printed on Batchelor paper with Golden Cockerell watermark and set in Golden Cockerel type. Wood-engraved title-vignette, borders, illustrations and decorations by ERIC RAVILIOUS (1903-1942) printed in purple-brown or grey-green. Original half morocco over pictorial cloth by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, with Ravilious illustrations on both covers, t.e.g., others uncut, a little rubbed, a few scuffs to boards, light staining to spine. [Chanticleer 82]. As stated in the colophon the text follows the Globe edition of the play. "One of the Press's greatest aesthetic successes, and the finest flowering of Ravilious' engraved book illustrations" Twelfth Night was Ravilious's "most ambitious project. With a design concept similar to Eric Gill's Canterbury Tales, published by Gibbings [at the Golden Cockerel Press], the decorative borders relate the illustrations to the text in a. visually unified manner." (Powers, Alan. "Eric Ravilious, Artist & Designer, 2013, p.41).
