Eric Gill: Loess Fantasy

Eric Gill(1860-1940) was a well-known graphic artist, sculptor and typeface designer. He was also notorious in various other ways. The picture here is his illustration for 'The Taming of the Shrew' by WS, from the New Temple Shakespeare edition by J.M.Dent of London (1934) . Loess Ground has added the loessic aspects. The falling dust aspect is probably correct, but the agency may be in doubt.
