#The Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic

[uwmspeccoll]

It’s Fine Press Friday!

This week we present pages from the second book illustrated by the great English printmaker and type designer Eric Gill, The Devil's Devices, or, Control Versus Service by Douglas (H. D. C. ) Pepler, with woodcuts and wood engravings by Eric Gill, published in Hammersmith, the seat of the Arts & Crafts Movement in England, at the Hampshire House Workshops in 1915. There was a limited edition of 200 copies, but ours is one of 1300 trade copies printed in London at Edward Thomas (E. T.) Heron’s Westminster Press. Both the author and illustrator were ardent Catholics and social activists, and this work displays overtones of both, a critique of contemporary society, work conditions, human relationships, and the effects of the Industrial Revolution. An advertisement at the back states: “This book contains an account of a cinematograph entertainment in Satan’s Circuit; a warning to the public against a crafty devil; and an appreciation of . . . an English working man.” The printer E. T Heron also happened to be an enthusiast and promoter of the cinematograph.

H. D. C. Pepler (1878-1951), who had a Quaker background, co-founded what become the Hampshire House Workshops at Hammersmith in 1906 out of religious convictions. It was at the Workshops that Pepler met Gill (1882-1940) at the beginning of WWI, and developed a close friendship (one of Pepler’s sons even married one of Gill’s daughters), although they would later have a falling out in the 1930s. The Workshops were involved in a number craft endeavors, and Pepler wanted to establish a publishing house there, but only produced about ten books and catalogs at the Workshops before converting to Catholicism in 1916 and co-founding with Gill and English poet and artist Desmond Chute, The Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic at Ditchling, Sussex. It was here that the St. Dominic’s Press was founded and run by Pepler in collaboration with Gill and the English calligrapher and type designer Edward Johnston.

Our copy of The Devil’s Devices bears the ownership bookplate of C. H. St John Hornby, proprietor of the Ashendene Press, and is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.

A MUSICAL BOOKPLATE: all ex libri contain a puzzle of sorts... The question of who is this man or woman, and how to encapsulate their interests or identity. In this wood-engraving we have a songbird and lutist - perfect for the music critic of the Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph. Richard Capell OBE (1885-1954) had a life that was a mix of music and adventure. He studied the cello in London and Lille, and became a journalist working on the Monthly Musical Record from 1928-32, and then taking over Music and Letters from 1937. He also wrote books on Schubert and opera, and he made English translations of songs by Schubert, Schumann and Grieg. But also, during the First World War, he was awarded a military medal for gallantry at the Battle of Vimy Ridge, and in the Second World War he served as a war correspondent for the Telegraph in France, the Western Sahara and Greece - his book ‘Simiomata’ (Greek Jottings) about being there when Churchill arrived to meet Greek patriots is referenced in Captain Corelli’s Mandolin by Louis de Bernières. This wood-engraving is by Philip Hagreen, a founder member of the Society of Wood Engravers who was a member of the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic at Ditchling in Sussex, where he was closely associated with Eric Gill and David Jones (with whom he shared a studio). He hand his family moved to Capel-y-ffin with Gill in 1924, but then (being devout Roman Catholics) to Lourdes, before returning to Ditchling, where most of his bookplates were made. It’s a lovely bookplate to have, in a German music book, since it connects to so many things and interests. The @museumartcraft has a good collection of Hagreen’s work and there is a good limited edition book about his bookplates by Brian North Lee published by Frederikshavn Kundtmuseum. #exlibris #bookplate #bookstagram #richardcapell #philiphagreen #ditchlingcommunity (at Brighton and Hove) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKOJmyiFZzD/?igshid=1jm1bxdxkzs6r

Eric Gill: a moral problem

Eric Gill: a moral problem

A hundred years ago the sculptor Eric Gill and friends set up the famous Catholic craftsmen’s association, the Guild of St Joseph and St Dominic, in the village of Ditchling, East Sussex. What was the guild – and who was its founder? Eric Gill is a challenge – not just to thinking Catholics, but to anyone with a sense of morality, and to anyone who appreciates art.  As well as creating many…

Macau heritage sites contains the oldest and compact gathering of European architecture in the whole of China. Often called the “Gateway between East and West” Macau was settled by Portuguese navigators in the mid-16th century. The “Historic Centre of Macao” coincides with the heart of the western settlement area, also known as the “Christian City” in history.

For almost three centuries, until the colonisation of Hong Kong in 1842, Macao’s strategic location at the mouth of the Pearl River meant that it retained a unique position in the South China Sea, serving as the hub in a complex network of maritime trade that brought tremendous wealth and a constant flow of people into the enclave.

People of different nationalities came, bringing their own cultural traditions and professions, permeating the life of the city as can been seen in both intangible and tangible influences.

This is evident in the introduction of foreign building typologies such as western-style fortresses and architecture. Macao also inherited various cultural experiences and regional influences, further developing these in conjunction with the local Chinese culture and blending them to produce the rich texture seen in the city’s exceptional heritage.

Exposure to diverse cultures in this lasting encounter between the eastern and western worlds has therefore benefited Macao in assimilating a rich array of cultural heritage. (source: Macau Patrimonio Mundial)

Wood Engraving Wednesday

PHILIP HAGREEN

This week we present a few wood engravings by the English printer and wood engraver Philip Hagreen from Musicks Duell by 17th-century English poet Richard Crashaw, published by Hagreen at Ditchling Common, Hassocks, Sussex in 1938. Hagreen, a devout Roman Catholic, was a member of the Guild of St. Joseph and St. Dominic artists community at Ditchling, and was a close associate of fellow Catholic Eric Gill who taught him lettering. Importantly, Hagreen was not only one of the ten founding members of the Society of Wood Engravers, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2020, the Society was founded at his suggestion, and the first meeting was held in his studio. 

Unlike his contemporaries, Hagreen’s studiously Christian lifestyle and work ethic kept him out of the limelight. Hagreen’s fellow printmaker and Guild member at Ditchling  Edgar Holloway observed that “Considering his great skills in lettering and engraving and comparing him to well-known contemporaries who received official commissions, Hagreen had been probably the most unappreciated engraver of the century."

This edition of Musicks Duell was hand printed on hand-made paper in an edition of 500 copies. The first 250 were printed in October 1935 by fellow printer, wood engraver, and Guild member Edward Walters in London. The remainder were printed by Hagreen at Ditchling Common, Sussex, in October 1938.
