Both items in fair condition, on lightly aged and creased paper. The second letter addressed by the secretary on the reverse, with four torn stamps and postmarks, to 'Mr. Lawrence Hodson | Bradbourne Hall | Ashbourne | Derbyshire'. The 'set of stations' referred to in the first letter is likely to have been based on those executed by Gill in stone in Westminster Cathedral, and completed in 1918. Letter One (3 November 1920): 1p., 12mo. After thanking Hodson for his letter, Gill informs him that 'Father Delaney [Father Bernard Delaney, OP] says he will certainly publish your article [in 'Blackfriars', the journal of the English Dominicans, of which he was editor] and I am very pleased.' Hodson's 'suggestion that a set of stations should be made in wood cuts is already in hand [last two words placed in quotation marks by Gill]'. Gill 'has seen the cuts' and thinks that 'something in the same manner would certainly be effective and might be very useful'. Gill is sending Hodson a copy of 'the little book that we brought out some years ago', and he will let him know 'as soon as the bigger ones materialise'. Letter Two (10 March 1921): 1p., landscape 12mo. He thanks Hodson for another letter, 'and for the note on "Dress" which I am sending on to the editor of "Blackfriars". I hope he will publish it, and am glad you approved of the article.' He continues: 'I will see that a print of the large woodcut of the first "Station" is sent to you.' He concludes by informing Hodson that he will be 'very pleased to see you when you can come to Ditchling'. While chairman of the brewers W. Butler & Co., Hodson had organised the Wolverhampton Art and Industrial Exhibition of 1902. A connoisseur of the arts, his collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings and library of illuminated manuscripts were auctioned by Sotheby's in 1906.…

Harry Graf Kessler was responsible for the type and print of the volume, and it was issued by the publishers Insel-Verlag in Leipzig and den S. Fischer Verlag in Berlin. The work was released in 1929 in a translation by Gerhart Hauptmann. The upper case title letters designed in woodcut were produced by graphic designer and typographer Eric Gill (1882-1940). The printed text in red and black is in a font that was designed especially for this work, the Hamlet Fraktur, which was developed by font artist Edward Johnston (1872-1944). The woodcuts are based on the designs and figurines for stage sets by the director, actor and graphic designer Edward Gordon Craig (1872-1966), who used them here for the purposes of book art.Harry Graf Kessler (1868-1937):Diplomat, patron of the arts and bibliophile."A book must be like a festival, like those of the Greeks or Louis XV, light and rich and bright, inside and out.":Harry Graf Kessler to Hugo von Hofmannsthal, 1905.Diplomat, dandy, artist, sophisticate, compulsive diarist, alleged illegitimate son of the German Kaiser - Kessler was a dazzling personality in the cultural life of his epoch. He attempted to unite life and art in Germany as William Morris had in England.He conceived the "Großherzog-Wilhelm-Ernst-Ausgabe" (Grand Duke Wilhelm Ernst Edition) for the Insel publishing house, its 1904 debut marking the beginning of Kessler's collaboration with English book designers. To implement his idea of the book as a gesamtkunstwerk of content, typography, illustration and materials, he established the Cranach-Presse Weimar in 1913. Working with international artists and using specially-designed type, paper and woodcuts, the press produced artistic book offerings in a European format until 1931. …
