Extremely rare, being one of only three copies printed on vellum, this numbered 3 and signed by the illustrator. An important book, being the hundredth printed by the Golden Cockerel Press, beautifully produced, with type designed by Eric Gill, Hughes-Stanton's startling woodcuts, shown to best effect on vellum, and elegantly bound by Riviere. Christopher Sandford and Owen Rutter, the owners of the press, were particularly proud of 'Ecclesiastes': 'Our press-work in this book is judged to be almost perfect. The engravings, which have their finest white lines (which must not be lost) in the midst of full-blacks (which require heavy inking) are the hardest in the world to print. They were, however, printed at one impression with the type. To appreciate the extent of the improvement in Golden Cockerel press-work, it is only necessary to compare this book with the earliest Chester Play of the Deluge [no.52].' ('Chanticleer') (1)
