The Cresset Press was a publishing company in London, England, active as an independent press from 1927 for 40 years,[1] and initially specializing in "expensively illustrated limited editions of classical works, like Milton's Paradise Lost"[2] going on to produce well-designed trade editions of literary and political works. Among the leading illustrators commissioned by Cresset were Blair Hughes-Stanton and Gertrude Hermes — The Pilgrim's Progress (1928), The Apocrypha (1929), and D. H. Lawrence's Birds, Beasts and Flowers (1930). Cresset subsequently became part of the Barrie Group of publishers, and later an imprint of the Ebury Press within the Random House Group.

Diment elaborates: "The inaugural publications of 1927 and 1928 were all limited editions. They included richly illustrated folio volumes of Bacon's Essays, and Coulers of Good and Evil and Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress. Then came translations of Ovid and The Iliad, as well as books onEnglish foxhunting, angling, and gardening. In 1929 the press continued with classics, including and edition of Gulliver's Travels, illustrated by John 'Rex' Whistler, a former Slade student whose mural decorations were exhibited at the Tate Gallery."
