This volume is a translation of Homer's Odyssey by TE Lawrence (1888-1935). It was privately printed in 1932 by Sir Emery Walker (1851-1933), Wilfred Merton (1888-1957) and the typographer Bruce Rogers (1870-1957). Rogers and Lawrence started the project to translate Homer's Odyssey in 1928, and this handsome publication was the culmination of their endeavour. It is bound in black calf and printed using Rogers' 'centaur' typeface, the vignettes included at the beginning of each book emulate styles used in Ancient Greek pottery and are highlighted in gold.
