His work adorns some of the nation's most notable public buildings, including Westminster Cathedral and Broadcasting House. He has become a controversial figure following the 1989 publication of a revelatory biography by Fiona MacCarthy. Nearly 50 years after his death, it emerged that Gill had kept diaries detailing his shocking acts of sexual abuse, incest and bestiality.","physicalDescription":"Wood-engraving","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Gill, Eric","id":"A4651"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"The Golden Cockerel Press","id":"AUTH316809"},"association":{"text":"publisher","id":"x32600"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"printing ink","id":"AAT187371"}],"techniques":[{"text":"wood engraving","id":"AAT53303"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"wood-engraving","categories":[{"text":"Illustration","id":"THES48938"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":[],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLD","id":"THES49658"},"free":"","case":"94","shelf":"D","box":"27.F"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1924","earliest":"1924-01-01","latest":"1924-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Mrs Mary Gill, widow of the artist","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"3.875","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"1952","earliest":"1952-01-01","latest":"1952-12-31"},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"2.375","unit":"in","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"1952","earliest":"1952-01-01","latest":"1952-12-31"},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Eric Gill. 1924.
