Robert Gibbings
ARTIST AND AUTHOR
During his time at the Golden Cockerel Press from 1924-1933, Gibbings produced some of the finest books of the private press movement of the twentieth century. He commissioned and collaborated with leading artists of his generations such as Eric Gill, Eric Ravilious, John Nash, Agnes Miller Parker and Noel Rooke. He published some 71 titles at the press including the ‘Four Gospels’ (1931) and the four-volume ‘Canterbury Tales’ (1929-1931), both illustrated by Eric Gill. Both books were critical and financial successes and are considered masterpieces of book design and production.
