Cox (Morris). A Bird's World, Gogmagog Press, 1959, 5 linocuts printed with wax ink and watercolours, disbound, 8vo, with two loose extra linocuts of numbers 1 & 4 (Qty: 3) Provenance: Alan Tucker (1933-2017), Stroud bookseller and poet, and co-author of Morris Cox and the Gogmagog Press (1991). Chambers, Franklin & Tucker, Morris Cox and the Gogmagog Press (1991) 3. One of only 4 copies in sheets from a total edition of 10. 'The series of five colour prints is quite different from anything we have seen before, but corresponds with certain earlier experiments among his sketches. Each to a more or less extent uses the 'cracked plate' appearance which is shared by the fledgling bird and in the final print becomes winter tree and snowy ground.'
