    Apr. 10, 2025

    Golden Cockerel Press.- Buckland Wright (John) Copper plate of head-piece for 'Pervigilium Veneris', line engraving with sugar-aquatint on copper, with slight scratch across one thigh, c.75 x 130mm., [c.1938]; with a modern pull from the plate (2) ⁂ Pervigilium Veneris: The Vigil of Venus, translated by F.L.Lucas, was issued by the Golden Cockerel Press in 1939 in an edition of 100 copies and containing 18 copper-engravings by Buckland Wright. This was one of his early commissions from Christopher Sandford but it was so successful that he went on to illustrate many more books for the press until his death in 1954. "The very fine engravings, by a process revived for the first time in our generation and which took two years to produce, were inspired by the Roman sarcophagi in the Louvre, and represent a worthy complement to F.L.Lucas's beautiful rendering of the Latin text." (Christopher Sandford, Pertelote 141 p.38) This lot is sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
