The Golden Cockerel PressThe Golden Cockerel Press, founded by Harold (Hal) Midgley Taylor in 1920, began as a cooperative private press venture, publishing a literary review, The Voices, and two literary titles before being put up for sale in 1924. Purchase of the press that year by wood engraver Robert Gibbings marked the start of a more productive period, resulting in the publication of some 71 classic and contemporary titles between 1924 and 1933. That year, Christopher Sandford took over the business at which point the press ceased to be private with production moved to Chiswick Press. By the time ownership again changed hands in 1959, 120 additional titles had appeared. Between 1959 and 1961 American publisher Thomas Yosseloff completed four more titles before closing the Golden Cockerel imprint for good. A collection of correspondence and production materials documenting the operation under the ownership of Robert Gibbings and Christopher Sandford is housed at the Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas at Austin.2025
