  Golden Cockerel Press - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Golden Cockerel Press was a major English private press operating between 1920 and 1961.
A major feature of Golden Cockerel books were the original illustrations, usually woodcuts, contributed by, among others, Eric Gill, Robert Gibbings, John Buckland-Wright, Blair Hughes-Stanton, Agnes Miller Parker, David Jones and Eric Ravilious.
One of the most sought-after of the Golden Cockerel books is the four-volume Canterbury Tales produced by Eric Gill and issued in 1931.

 The Year of the Cockerel
Those born in the year of the cockerel are said to be brave and outgoing, sociable, inquisitive and fond of dressing up to show off their fine features.
Generally, the year of the cockerel is seen as one of optimism and positive progress, without the dangerous excitement of the year of the dragon, for example.
But this particular year of the cockerel is believed to be inauspicious for marriage and the Shanghai Daily (30.12.2004) reported a rush to get married before 9 February.

 French National Symbols: The Cockerel (UK cock,US rooster)
From the 16th century onwards representations of a cockerel occasionally accompanied the King of France on coins - it appears on the coins struck under both the Valois and Bourbon kings.
Napoleon III viewed the cockerel with disfavour, but it virtually became an official symbol of the Third Republic: the gates of the Elysée Palace, erected at the end of the 19th century, feature a cockerel.
The Cockerel is now used mainly in two specialised contexts: national sports teams and to denote military valour (for example on memorials to those who died in the Great War).

In the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the cockerel was used by the Kings of France to represent France in early engravings and on coins.
Although Napoleon introduced the symbol of the eagle to replace the cockerel, later in the nineteenth century the cockerel was brought back.
It was used on flags, the uniform and buttons of the National Guard, the great seal of France, the twenty franc gold coin and the gates of the Elysée Palace (the President's Official residence).

The brightly coloured cockerel, one of France's oldest native animal species, is synonymous with French fighting spirit – at times arrogance – and is famously unleashed on to the football pitch before games involving the national side.
Due to a semantic crossover, the Latin word gallus means both cockerel and Gaul and it has come to stand as a symbol of France's distant ancestors.
Beside its symbolic qualities, the French cockerel is sought after for its brilliant red and gold plumage.

It is also important to consider the mechanism of, and factors controlling, hormone secretion; the mechanisms of hormone action and receptor binding; the pathophysiology of endocrine system dysfunction and the effect of exogenous substances on normal function.
The study of endocrinology effectively began with a study by Berthold (1849), largely ignored at the time, in which he noted that castrated cockerels failed to develop combs and wattles or exhibit overtly male behaviour.
In fact, one of two other things could have been true based on these data: that the testes modified or activated a constituent of the blood or that the testes removed an inhibitory factor from the blood.

Artfully sketched on stained glass at Rievaulx Abbey, North Yorkshire, the red cockerel is the only complete portrait of an animal to have survived Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries and the iconoclasm of Cromwell's soldiers.
The 10cm (4in) wide cockerel was left behind when the main panels of Rievaulx stained glass were taken to London in 1539 to be sold for Henry's depleted treasury.
The bird dates back to the 13th century and is thought to have been a satirical addition to the solemn religious scenes portrayed on the abbey's main windows.

With the Golden Cockerel series, Gill immersed himself completely in the production of the typefaces, assuming the responsibility of ensuring that his drawings were converted to metal, sized on the body, spaced correctly and tested in page formats.
Essentially, the ITC Golden Cockerel initial alphabet represents Gill’s style of wood letters, including the exuberant flourished serifs and splendid lombardic stresses found in commissions from the Golden Cockerel, St. Dominic’s and Curwen Presses and simple bookplates and devices developed throughout his life with letters.
