Cheffins

Lot 266

Eric Gill. A Hoptonwood limestone alphabet table pot, dated 1931, the piece with dished top above facetted sides, each carved with a letter or number, and dated MCMXXXI (1931), amongst the letters are those for Ingham `E I` and Fanfare Press `F P`, 12.5cm high (some general surface wear and staining) , Whilst we do not know exactly the full background of this piece, it may well mark the first use of the first cutting of Gill`s Perpetua type (ie the typefounder`s version) in a normal-marketed book by the Fanfare Press. The book in question was `The Purloined Letter` by Edgar Allen Poe for the Ulysses Bookshop. 1931 was also the first year of Fanfare`s printing of Nonesuch Books (until 1935). Ingham purchased the original punches and matrices of Gill`s Perpetua Roman type, as cut by Charles Malin in 1926. The Monotype recut the alphabet from revised drawings by Gill and corrected earlier `weaknesses` in the original punches., The piece is offered with a letter from Gill, mostly written in another hand (probably Mary Gill`s) dated 20-5-31 `Dear Ingham, Thanks awfully for letting me know about my p.s. When are you coming? I am so glad you are pleased with the table-piece. The stone is HOPTONWOOD (Derbyshire limestone). Bill herewith. Yours very sincerely Eric G`; and a postcard from Gill to Ingham dated 28 June 1931 from Pigotts, in Gill`s hand in which he writes `Very many thanks for the £3 for the stone table pot. I`m most glad you think so well of it. I`m most sorry to hear of your - well, what you said. "Typography" is hanging to dry. I wish you could come down soon. Eric G`

It is one of only 3 known images of the palace built by Henry VIII by his favourite hunting ground near Epsom, in Surrey, in 1538, but demolished only 150 years later. It was a totally new building, rather than an adaptation of an existing structure, and as such incorporated some of the first Renaissance architectural elements into England. The elaborate stucco panels are visible in this plate. Apart from fragments in museums, there is no trace of the palace on the ground..
