Love God and Do what You Will : the Story of an Inscription Cut in Beer Stone by Eric Gill as a Gift to Lucy Wertheim
Description:... Lucy Wertheim, who ran a London gallery during the 1930s and who saw magic in the work of Christopher Wood, bought a stone inscription from artist Eric Gill during 1934. The two developed a friendship, and Gill spontaneously cut a small stone as a present for her which he initialled himself, an unusual act for him. This short book tells the story of their association, and the stone itself is reproduced, along with the design (and its translation) in Gill's hand, and two photographs of him.
