Illustrated with wood engravings of outstanding skill by Hughes-Stanton

~ The Lamentations of Jeremiah.

Newtown Gregynog Press 1933

No.224 of 250 copies. 21 wood engravings (5 full page) and book design by Blair Hughes-Stanton, headings and running titles printed in blue, wood engraved calligraphic title page. Printed on japanese vellum in Baskerville Italic type. Folio, original dark blue oasis (only 109 copies were bound in this way, the others being in Hermitage calf), title and device in blind on upper cover and spine. A very good, bright copy with some of the usual marking to the soft oasis.

A spectacular work from the Press, and I would argue one of the greatest from any Press around this time, with an abundance of astonishing and imposing wood engravings by Hughes-Stanton. He was an extraordinary engraver with his erotic subject matter and highly developed cutting skills.
