Description:
This book (Volume 1) was written in 1918, printed on hand made paper and published by Douglas Pepler at Ditchling Sussex UK. Only 250 copies were produced and Volume 2 never materialised. Volume 1 includes a number of black and white drawings by Eric Gill who, with Pepler and others, was part of the Ditchling 'Commune' at that time. My lat father-in-law, Graham Castle worked for Romney Green from 1925 to 1935 and knew Gill well. I've much information on Romney Green. His brother, the Edwardian classical architect William Curtis Green, designed the Dorchester Hotel Park Lane London plus numerous offices for banks, insurance companies and similar in the City and for some of which Romney was commissioned to provide the boardroom furniture.
