This is a promotional leaflet advertising The Wine Press (1913) by Alfred Noyes (1880-1958), an English poet, playwright, novelist, and short story writer.

The Wine Press is a long anti-war poem. Noyes wrote this poem in the time leading up to World War I when he saw that war was inevitable. Among Noyes's other anti-war literary works are The Last Man (1940) and If Judgment Comes (1941). This leaflet promotes The Wine Press with several positive reviews.
