Biographical note
David Peace trained as an architect and had an early passion for lettering. He assisted Even Gill with his 1964 Inventory of Eric Gill's inscriptional works and then continued on his own for the next 30 years recording further inscriptions as he found them. Dr Peace has been Master of the Art Workers Guild and President of the Guild of Glass Engravers. By profession he was a town planner who specialised in environmental conservation.
This book is a critical appraisal of Eric Gill's inscriptional designs, paying particular attention to the early developments of his letter forms. The book includes indices of persons and institutions commemorated as well as the location of the inscriptions. There are also appendices on Gill's work on war memorials, heraldry nd the design of seals, medals, coins and stamps. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in lettering or letter design.
