A Cockerel Device

These wood engravings all come from books published by The Golden Cockerel Press, a private press operating in England between 1920 and 1961.

I was scanning from a 1975 American book Bibliography of The Golden Cockerel Press, 1921 – 1949 which combines the three illustrated bibliographies Chanticleer, Pertelote, and Cockalorum.
