First work published by the Cockerel Press illustrated by Eric Gill. The poetry of Miss Enid Clay is ornamented with 8 nice white-line wood engravings (2 full-page pl. and 1 on title). Edition limited to 450 copies on Kelmscott paper (n. 293). This work was the first to be crowned by the Double Crown Club. This was a dining club and society of printers, publishers, book designers and illustrators founded in London in 1920. The aim was to exchange ideas on "good printing" and they planned to award a book twice a year (they stopped in 1927). The first President of the club was the journalist and writer George Holbrook Jackson. Golden Cockerel mark at colophon.
