Page from Milton's Paradise Lost, printed at the Golden Cockerel Press, 1937 - engravings by Mary Groome
Regarded as one of the very finest books from a fine press, and set in their own Golden Cockerel type designed by Eric Gill in 1929, it is interesting that what I have read about this book is the feeling that the engravings and the lettering are not a 'prefect marriage'. Well, I wouldn't mind a copy! Mary Groom (1903 - 1958) was a fine wood engraver as can be seen here in this edition of Milton's Paradise Lost.
