The folio is folded, creating two leaves \/ four pages, with Gill's full page illustration 'Jesus of Nazareth The King of the Jews' on the first page, and text to the other three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original edition, comprising the first four books of the New Testament accompanied by 65 illustrations by Gill, was published by the Golden Cockerel Press in 1931. It is seen as one of the finest books to be produced by the press, exhibiting the ideals of the private press movement, and was published in a run of 500.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sheet is a later facsimile, likely the 1988 September Press, Wellingborough edition. That reproduction was produced using photo-lithography in run of 600 copies. The publisher was careful to note: 'This book is a reproduction version of The Four Gospels published in 1931. I call it a reproduction version rather than a facsimile because that is what it is, a copy produced by photo-lithography with no attempt to simulate the paper or binding of the original. From the outset, the spirit of the book was what I was aiming at. The original is a marvelous book .. .and rightly regarded as one of the glories of modern book-making .... If a reproduction could demonstrate something of the excitement, simplicity and ingenuity of the original, I would be well pleased.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Somerset \u0026 Wood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54290462179657,"sku":"KD-482","price":44.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/4306\/5161\/files\/KD-482.jpg?v=1777476282","url":"https:\/\/somersetandwood.com\/it\/products\/eric-gill-jesus-of-nazareth-the-king-of-the-jews-from-the-four-gospels-of-the-lord-jesus-christ-original-1988-lithograph-print-kd-482","provider":"Somerset \u0026 Wood Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
