DescriptionThis may be an artists proof of an illustration executed by Rooke for 'The Birth of Christ from The Gospel According to St Luke' - it does not appear in the final book, and does appear to be unfinished (note how the block remains uncut around the central figure).
'The Birth of Christ from The Gospel According to St Luke' was printed and published by The Golden Cockerel Press in 1925 (under Robert Gibbings). This scene depicts robed man/priest in church/temple, 3 similarly dressed men in the background. This is one of a number of artists proofs of images executed by Rooke for the publication. The publication itself is also in the Collection.
