	Golden Cockerel Press - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Golden Cockerel Press was a major English private press operating between 1920 and 1961.
		The Press was founded by Harold (Hal) Midgley Taylor (1893-1925) in 1920 and was first in Waltham St. Lawrence in Berkshire where he had unsuccessfully tried fruit farming.
		A major feature of Golden Cockerel books were the original illustrations, usually wood engravings, contributed by, among others, Eric Gill, Robert Gibbings, John Buckland Wright, Blair Hughes-Stanton, Agnes Miller Parker, David Jones and Eric Ravilious.

	Golden Cockerel Press - ITCFonts.com
		The Kelmscott Press was similar, although financially successful: William Morris was careful to see that it was not a drain on his pocket, but his own contribution as author and designer was unpaid.
		Of Morris’s Kelmscott types, Golden Type was based on the fifteenth-century Venetian roman of Nicholas Jenson (though its weight was greatly strengthened, and it was given heavy, and very nineteenth-century, slab serifs), and Troy on the kind of semi-flletter rotunda used by Morris’s favoured German printers, the Zainer brothers.
		The Four Gospels was both the solstice and the sunset of Golden Cockerel under Gibbings.

	Eric Gill and the Golden Cockerel Press - ITCFonts.com
		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.
		Consulting with type historian John Dreyfus, the ITC development team discovered that the original Golden Cockerel patterns and matrices of the type, manufactured by H.W. Caslon Letter Foundry, were kept in the vaults of the Cambridge University Library in the Stanley Morison collection.
		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.

	The Press of the Text - UMKC University Libraries: Online Exhibitions
		Fine Press books are usually noted for the quality of the total design combining the elements of content, text, typography, illustrations, paper, and the binding into a single, cohesive unit - a harmonious whole.
		Fine press artists' books, such as those by Linda Samson-Talleur and her La Ginestra Press, represent the work of a group of people: the author, the artist, the printer, the paper maker, the designer, and the binder -- occasionally all work is done by a single person.
		Almost all of the fine press books and the small collection of artists' books in the Miller Nichols Library were selected and acquired for the library's collections by Dr. Kenneth J. LaBudde, retired Director of the UMKC University Libraries and Professor Emeritus of History.

		In 1974, the Press took over our lives as a full-time business, and has grown immeasurably as other printers have discarded their outdated letterpress machinery, and as we elongated our one-time gardener's cottage at Whittington to accommodate those items which caught our eye, including a large collection of Monotype casting equipment.
		The Press holds an open day, usually in the afternoon of the first Saturday in each September, at which a few other presses also show off their latest wares.
		Notable among these however is her Gray's Elegy, commissioned by Christopher Sandford for the Golden Cockerel Press in 1946, and which he acknowledged to be among his favourites from the Cockerel output.

		While these books have never been consciously collected by the Library and are not, therefore, gathered together as a collection in their own right, a good sample of such work has accumulated by means of odd volumes scattered throughout various collections.
		Early presses represented include eighteenth-century books from Horace Walpole's Strawberry Hill Press, as well as items from the Auchinleck and Auchwedden Presses (two early Scottish private presses).
		It has not been possible to digitise examples from some of the more modern presses (such as those from the Golden Cockerel Press) because of copyright restrictions; students are therefore encouraged to explore the list provided, and to visit Special Collections to examine the books for themselves.
