"The Nativity: Who Were The First To Cry Nowell? Animals All As It Befell" is a notable work by the British artist and typographer Eric Gill. Created in 1923, this piece is a wood engraving that exemplifies Gill's distinctive style, which combines elements of medieval art with modernist sensibilities. Eric Gill, a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, was renowned for his contributions to sculpture, typeface design, and printmaking. His work often explored religious themes, and "The Nativity" is no exception.

The engraving depicts the nativity scene with a unique focus on the animals present at the birth of Jesus Christ. This perspective aligns with the title's suggestion that animals were the first to witness and celebrate the nativity, a theme that adds a layer of innocence and purity to the traditional biblical narrative. Gill's intricate line work and attention to detail bring a sense of reverence and solemnity to the scene, while also highlighting his skill in wood engraving.

"The Nativity" reflects Gill's deep religious convictions and his interest in the natural world, both of which are recurring themes in his body of work. The piece is also significant for its technical execution, showcasing Gill's mastery of the wood engraving medium. His ability to convey texture, light, and emotion through this technique has been widely admired and has influenced subsequent generations of printmakers.

This work is part of a larger collection of religious and secular prints by Gill, many of which were produced during his time at the artistic community of Ditchling in Sussex. "The Nativity" remains an important example of early 20th-century British printmaking and continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical value.
