Ralph Chubb was a pioneering spirit in promoting these uniquely conceived hand-made private press books mixing prose and poetic heroic and pseudo-religious texts combined with free-spirit illustrations, highly influenced by William Blake, and homoerotic overtones. A landmark in LGBTQ+ literature, generally considered the best designed and illustrated work of the author's oeuvre.
