Description: The Devil's Devices, or, Control versus Service Author: Pepler, Douglas; Gill, Eric (Artist) Title: The Devil's Devices, or, Control versus Service Publication: London: The Hampshire House Workshops, 1915 Edition: First and Limited Edition Description: Gill, Eric. Hardcover. First printing, one of 1500 copies, octavo size, 136 pp. Very good. Eric Gill (1882-1940) and Douglas Pepler (1878-1951) worked together for many years, founding the St Dominic's Press and creating numerous splendid works of art and writing. This collection of essays takes a look at the society of the time, examining the relationships among people, situations of work, and the effects of the Industrial Revolution. Eric Gill provides woodcuts to illustrate the text, several full-page images and several in-text; with a simplistic approach to detail, Gill creates scenes of both acute observation and satire. ___DESCRIPTION: Custom binding in half-green leather with marbled paper over boards, fore- and bottom edges uncut, title page silhouette woodcut by Eric Gill with other cuts throughout the text; octavo size (8" x 5 1/4"), pagination: [i-vi] vii-viii, 1-123 [124-128], one of 1500 copies. ___CONDITION: Very good overall, the leather is smooth and supple, the marbled boards are clean and unrubbed, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the text pages clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; we are grading as very good due to soiling and a small area of old dampstaining on the half title, and the the text block edges (particularly the fore- and bottom edges which are uncut), show uniform soiling. ___CITATION: Bibliography of Eric Gill 259. ___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.
