Item description from seller

Leaflet. Two pages, 12mo. Tasteful bifolium on cream wove paper. Unbound. Good, though a tad grubby. Gill woodcut (roughly two inches by one and a half) on front: two hands around the front of a large 'V' with rest of word 'Veritas' on stem and cross at head. Apparently numbered in pencil bottom-right of woodcut 579. Sixteen-line announcement by Tegetmeier and Cribb on recto of second leaf describing how they 'intend to make the attempt to realize Eric Gill's aim' and 'life-long desire [.] to be given the power to found something which would go on working after his death', and that 'Pigotts should become an enduring home of craftsmanship'. 'We have been trained by him to do stone & wood carving, letter-cutting & engraving in all materials, mural painting, painted lettering, and printing.' etc. Lightly docketed in pencil on reverse of second leaf 'g.658'. Not on COPAC.
