Designs and trials for lettering on bindings, apparently for books not published by the Gregynog Press, but including items connected with music- making at Gregynog, and perhaps commissioned by the Misses Davies, amongst them covers for R. Vaughan Willliams, Toward the Unknown Region, and Benedicite for Soprano Solo, Chorus and Orchestra; H. Walford Davies, Men and Angels and High Heaven's King, Edward Elgar, The Music Makers; John [ sic] Sebastian Bach, Mass in B Minor and The Passion according to Saint Matthew; and Gustav Holst, Ode on a Grecian Urn. Also included are two offcuts of brown calf presumably used for Gregynog bindings.
