signed by the artist

One of the original wood engravings designed by Eric Gill The Harem displays every aspect of the striking yet graceful individual style for which the artist is famed. Created for the Golden Cockerell Press edition of The Song of Songs, published in 1925, this overtly erotic engraving is one of the best known designs from this important artist.
