Wood Engraving Wednesday

This week we present a few wood engravings and details from Consequences, subtitled A Complete Story in the Manner of the Old Parlour Game, in Nine Chapters, Each by a Different Author, published by the Golden Cockerel Press in 1932. The book includes two wood-engraved cockerels and a frontispiece depicting the nine players of the old exquisite-corpse parlor game Consequences seated atop a cake by the English designer, painter, and wood engraver Eric Ravilious (1903-1942). We’re uncertain who did the cockerels, but the one playing Consequences on the title page may be by Ravilious, while the other may be by Golden Cockerel Press owner and printer Robert Gibbings (1889-1958).

Consequences was published as an attempt to tap into the Christmas market. Gibbings and his wife Moira Gibbings printed a limited edition of 200 copies on handmade paper, signed by the several authors. They also printed another 1000 copies on machine-made paper at a cheaper price. It received good reviews and Gibbing’s own American publishers bought a few hundred of these to issue cheaply for the American market. Our copy is one of the printings on machine-made paper, but the prints are still made from the original blocks.
