The University of Notre Dame collection includes over 2,000 items of Eric Gill’s work: books, pamphlets, broadsides, prints, greeting cards, calendars, sketches, wood blocks, photographs, and other formats. The Gill Collection also includes many examples of the work by men who worked with or apprenticed with Gill (Hilary Pepler, Philip Hagreen, Joseph Cribb, David Jones, and Desmund Chute), most of the imprints of the Golden Cockerel Press (which produced The Four Gospels engraved by Gill), and an extensive selection of the output from Gill’s own St. Dominic’s Press. There are hundreds of fine art prints and over 100 photographs of Gill’s sculptures. The collection was acquired in 1965 from John Bennett Shaw (Notre Dame alumnus ’37), who purchased it from Evan Gill, Eric’s brother. Since 1965, the collection has been added to selectively.

  • Sweet Thames Run Softly, You Might Wonder Wif Robert Gibbings Is Your Ideal Companion

    Sweet Thames Run Softly, You Might Wonder Wif Robert Gibbings Is Your Ideal Companion

    introduction Luke Jennings hen picking up Sweet Thames Run Softly, you might wonder Wif Robert Gibbings is your ideal companion. The river runs a considerable length, and you might consider that his didactic manner, and his schoolmasterly disquisitions on Ovid and Theophrastus, are more than a little creaky to the twenty-first century sensibility. Some of the book’s descriptive passages are fairly purple, like his description of a dream in which small creatures living in a country lane ‘all came to me and led me to their nests, drawing aside the sheltering roots and leaves that I might see into their homes’. But Gibbings wins you over. His curiosity, his erudition, and his eye for arcane detail persuade you of the need to continue. He is the kind of man who carries a microscope in a punt, in case, moored in a backwater on a Saturday evening, he feels moved to examine sedimentary diatoms. ‘Some were crystal clear bordered with gold, some were sculptured like a cowrie shell, others recalled the cuttlefish that we find on our shores’. Turning up a water lily, he discovers ‘Aquatic caterpillars . as well as small trumpet shells, and semi-transparent snails whose cat-like faces extruded as they marched along, seeking what they might devour’. This is science filtered through an artist’s eye, and the result is wonderfully strange. Gibbings was born in Cork in 1889, and grew up in Kinsale, where his father was the rector. He studied medicine for three years before turning to art, eventually studying in London at the Central School and The Slade.

Vues d'optique, or perspective views, were very popular in Europe during the eighteenth century. The pictures were designed for viewing through a zograscope equipped with a mirror and lens, and so the text was written right to left and the image reversed. It was an extremely popular form of entertainment and allowed the viewer to daydream about new worlds and unknown places; the famous fresco "Il Mondo nuovo" (The New World) by Giandomenico Tiepolo depicts a crowd composed of commoners and noblemen standing around a zograscope and looking into it.
