”This monumental book, compiled by Gill’s nephew, Christopher Skelton, and based on the limited edition, contains Gill’s complete oeuvre [Everything is there!] – from his religious subjects to his erotic fantasies, from his designs for the sumptuous editions of The Canterbury Tales & The Four Gospels to his tiny pressmark for the Curwen Press. Most are reproduced in their original dimensions, with examples in both color and black and white.”
