About This Item
The First UK printing published by Transatlantic Arts, London : 1943. Printed by The Curwen Press. The BOOK is in Very Good++ condition. A little light rubbing to the boards edges and spine ends. Light toning to the pastedowns. Free from inscriptions. The WRAPPER is in Good only condition with large loss to the front cover and some lesser chips to the rear panel edges and spine ends. The wrapper is protected in a loose Mylar archival cover. As the wrapper design mimics that of the board covers, the loss to the front panel of the wrapper is lessened. Wonderfully illustrated throughout in colour by Hilary Stebbing. A very scarce wartime production more-so with the very elusive wrapper, the first we have handled as such. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
