Description: | Monochrome print reminiscent of an illumination. In large letters across bottom 'AND', one stroke of the 'A' extends into a branch with leaves and reaches up and around five figures; Jesus being carried by two male figures, two women at right. One woman clings to the other, who reaches her arm out to Jesus. She holds onto the curved branch with the other hand. Signed at bottom right in pencil 'ERIC G' and at bottom left '7/10'.
"It is, in point of fact, the seventh of ten superb pulls from the engraved blocks used for Eric Gill's hand-engraved 'The Four Gospels.' If I remember rightly, he even engraved the type for that publication." (Clement Pitman, 18/4/1958)
