SIGNED LIMITED EDITION, number XV1 of 35 specials, out of a total edition of 335 copies, signed by Chamberlain to the limitation leaf. Having started the Caseg Press in 1937 in order to produce saleable ephemera (Christmas cards, bookplates etc) and provide themselves with an independent living, the artists John Petts and Brenda Chamberlain worked with their friend, the poet Alun Lewis, at the outset of the war to give the Press a wider social role by producing a series of single sheet 'broadsheets' after the style of the 17th and 18th century chapbooks, which celebrated Welsh poetry past and present, "cheap enough for the poorest man to buy" (Chamberlain, p.41). Short texts with illustrations, each of the Caseg broadsheets was limited to 500 copies for sale by subscription and in shops and post offices. Between November 1941 and June 1942, six broadsheets were brought out with two more in production at the time the venture ceased due to Lewis' death on active service overseas and the gruelling wartime economy. Octavo. Original quarter leather over pale green paper boards. Lettered to spine in gilt. Spine ends and one tip a little worn, otherwise near fine. No jacket as issued. [Alan Clodd and the Enitharmon Press, No 13, p.20].…
